What CNH Industrial Does: Core Business Segments
CNH Industrial's operations are primarily organized into two distinct global segments: Agriculture and Construction. This structure allows the company to maintain a sharp focus on the unique needs of customers in each industry.
Agriculture: This is the company's largest segment. It provides a comprehensive range of machinery and implements to farmers and agricultural businesses worldwide. The equipment supports every stage of the farming cycle, from soil preparation and planting to harvesting and material handling. A key focus within this segment is the integration of precision technology, which includes GPS-guided steering, telematics for remote fleet management, and agronomic data management software. These technologies help farmers maximize yields, reduce input costs (fuel, fertilizer, seeds), and operate more sustainably. Construction: The Construction segment offers a full line of equipment for the global construction industry, serving sectors such as infrastructure development, residential and commercial building, quarrying, and road building. The products are known for their power, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Similar to the agriculture segment, CNH is increasingly integrating digital technologies into its construction equipment, providing fleet managers with data on machine health, location, and operational efficiency to maximize uptime and project profitability.
