CBT

Brazilian Tractor Company (CBT) represented a significant chapter in Brazil's agricultural machinery history, functioning as a tractor manufacturer from 1959 until its eventual closure in 1995. The company's initial endeavors involved importing and assembling Oliver tractors, but quickly evolved. Over time, CBT progressively increased local production and component design capabilities. By the 1970s, the company was successfully marketing tractors bearing its own name, retaining a clear connection to the original Oliver designs. Innovation continued well into the 1990s, with CBT tractors finding buyers across the American continents. Ultimately, production halted in 1995 as Brazilian market liberalization removed safeguards for national industries.
