Modern Western European designs built to withstand a tough life on Eastern European farms but with an unbelievably low price tag. As the Dacia is currently the fastest selling car brand in Europe, so the Unia will follow inagricultural machineryterms.

"I chose Lamma for the main launch of Unia as it's the UK's leading Machinery show which, like Unia, offers value for money for the farmer and the exhibitor"
