Agritechnica 2013: Expert 432F Recieves GIO Design Award


Kverneland Group has received the prestigious Dutch design award Goed Industrieel Ontwerp (good industrial design), also known as the GIO award, for its new innovative drum mower, the Vicon EXPERT 432F.

The Goed Industrieel Ontwerp award is recognized as the most prestigious industrial design award in the Netherlands. In order to be nominated for the GIO award a product must not only be attractive looking, elements like functionality, authenticity, usability and innovation are also very important aspects. The new Vicon EXPERT 432F is designed and developed in close cooperation with the Dutch design agency VanBerlo.

Kverneland Group has introduced new sleek design elements and increased user-friendliness into its Vicon front mounted drum mower. Vicon EXPERT 432F is a comprehensively redesigned solution where all details in terms of ergonomic use have been carefully reworked. New features such as the next generation FlexProtect side covers, integrated tool box and more ergonomic handles for correct setting of the mower, result is an even better performing front mower.

The next generation Vicon FlexProtect side covers now offers better flexibility. The new side covers are made of steel fitted with a flexible polythene cover around the side surface, providing high stability and flexibility. It is a very rigid solution that effectively absorbs stress subjected to the cover and bends when hitting obstacles, without breaking the side cover.

The awarded Vicon EXPERT 432F will be launched and displayed at the Kverneland Group stand in hall 5 at the Agritechnica exhibition in Hannover.
