Bombardier, Deere Announce Strategic Alliance For Product Development
Valcourt, Québec, Canada , January 23, 2003
Valcourt, Québec, Canada and Moline, Illinois, U.S., January 23rd, 2003 - Bombardier and Deere & Company will develop new wheeled utility vehicles and technologies under a strategic alliance announced today.
The alliance will combine the efforts of Deere&39;s Worldwide Commercial & Consumer Equipment Division and Bombardier Recreational Products to produce creative new concepts aimed at expanding the business opportunities for both companies. The result should provide more and even better products for their respective customers and authorized dealers.
"John Deere has an excellent history of engineering products that add to the productivity of our customers," said John Jenkins, President of Worldwide Commercial & Consumer Equipment at Deere. "Pooling our resources with a market leader such as Bombardier strengthens our total investment in research and development."
The first product resulting from this alliance will be a line of new John Deere branded utility vehicles derived from a Bombardier All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) platform, to be launched initially in Canada and the United States by the end of 2003. The products will be manufactured by Bombardier at their Valcourt, Québec facility.
"Bombardier is very proud of this agreement because it is the recognition, by a highly reputed global leader such as Deere and Company, of the quality of our products and of our leadership position as an innovator," said José Boisjoli, President of the Snowmobiles, Watercraft and ATV Division of Bombardier Recreational Products.
Bombardier has been designing and manufacturing utility and motorized recreational vehicles for over sixty years. While Bombardier&39;s Snowmobiles, Watercraft and ATV Division offers various products for the recreational user, Deere focuses on products that make customers&39; work easier and more fulfilling.
"We believe this alliance is a good fit," said Boisjoli. "In this effort, we will work together to develop new solutions for an ever-changing marketplace." "This is an exciting opportunity for John Deere and Bombardier to jointly leverage our combined technological expertise," said John Deere&39;s Jenkins. "The two companies are similar in size and culture and both have a history of high quality products supported by outstanding service and support."
Both companies have targeted the announcement of new products resulting from this alliance before the end of 2003.

You are just pissed because the 2 have a strategic alliance and you aren't a fan of the US....Polaris has horrible reliability that is why JD didn't choose them...

I HAVE ORDERED ONE SIMPLY BECAEUSE IT IS JOHN DEERE GREEN, AS I BET MANY FARMERS WILL. WE WILL SEE IF IT HOLDS UP....I BET IT WILL

I may need to study up a little before I haul off and buy one then, I was originally going to get a Rincon, but you must understand that my blood runs green , being a farmer and having only green equipment. But I will admit, there has been a time or two when it wasn't the best choice perhaps. My main deal is a good dealor, close to us, that is worth a lot in the country....

I am a fan of the U.S.A. That is why wrote this. Maybe, Polaris hasn't been that reliable in the past, but lately they are not as bad as Bombardier. My brother ran a Polaris shop and I don't recall any major problems in the last few years. They are also a lot easier to get along with on the customer service side.
