The AGCO-NEFAZ Challenger 647combine harvester is built in Russia under a joint venture between AGCO and NefAZ. The combines began being built in 2009 with a tie-up with AGCO and the Challenger brand, with NefAZ assembling CKD (Completely Knocked Down) harvesters from the ItalianLaverda harvester plant. In future phases, more of the parts will be sourced locally, instead of using CKDs, NefAZ will be building the complete harvesters, and building their own CKDs to send elsewhere for assembly. The harvesters are built in both the Caterpillar-yellow and a red livery, and carry the name AGCO-NEFAZ Challenger on the side.[1]
