So we need solutions that reduce fossil fuel emissions associated with this type of drive, yet do not have significant adverse effects on manufacturing costs, consumption, weight and durability. Dr Martin von Hoyningen-Huene, Executive Vice President BU Tractor: 'There are no real alternatives to the combustion engine for high-performance agricultural machines in the foreseeable future. This means that the machines will be able to run on this sustainable liquid biofuel in future. The approval of hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVOs) for all agricultural machines that meet the latest emissions standard (Stage V) marks a significant step in this direction. CLAAS is aware of this responsibility and is looking closely at a number of different sustainable drive technologies. Protecting the climate and reducing environmentally harmful CO 2 emissions play an increasingly important role in agriculture. We look forward to intensifying our dialogue in the future and to come together to drive innovation.” Jan-Hendrik Mohr emphasises: “The relationships we have built with supply partners over many years are the foundation on which we stand. A global knowledge network will harness synergy within this framework. The objective is to define standard operating procedures and to automate processes. In future, CLAAS Purchasing will be organised even more according to commodities, with a clear focus on the products. “His contribution to the company’s performance has been stellar, and he has led purchasing through challenging times to considerable success.” Rüdiger Mohr will be in charge of the global network of dealers and distributors in his new role as Senior Vice President Dealer and Network Development.

“We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Rüdiger Mohr”, says CFO Henner Böttcher. “We wish him the best of success in his new position.” Frank Sommer will take over his new role as Senior Vice President Global Purchasing from Rüdiger Mohr, who in over 10 years has strategically aligned purchasing with the worldwide growth of the CLAAS Group and placed the division on an international footing. “Frank Sommer is already responsible for purchasing in the Business Unit Grain and has built a strong reputation in a variety of management roles during his 25 years with the company”, says CEO Jan-Hendrik Mohr.
