“Agriculture is high-tech!” says Cathrina Claas-Mühlhäuser in an interview with MTU Report. “Agriculture is also design,” asserts product designer Dominic Schindler who is involved in giving combine harvesters and haul trucks a make-over. The best looking versions of MTU engines can be found in megayachts where their design includes gleaming white paint and chrome cylinder head covers. Some of the most beautiful megayachts were on show at a gathering in Monaco.
