The Valtra series will take from now engines cleaner and more respectful with the environment. The main features of this series of tractors remain equal, but the engine technology has been improved to meet the standards of the Tier 3 regulations sachet of emission of gaseous pollutants.

"The new engine mount air-to-air cooling and a new filter that is considerably smaller and more efficient than the previous models." "Series will have the same appearance as before but with many changes in the engine", said Ari Leppiniemi, Project Manager in charge of the new a-series.

The intercooler is located on the radiator, allowing both refrigeration systems to receive the maximum amount of fresh air at the time that reduces the resistance to flow. Another new option in the a-series is an armrest with joystick to work with shovel, as in the tractors of the series N and T. The a-series engines fuel injection is still mechanical and supplied power is approximately the same. The A72 offers 74 HP, the A82 has 88 HP, and the A92 101 ft·lbf (ISO 14396). The system of numbering for models is new.

In this way, "the Valtra series can continue helping farmers still in this period with increasingly comprehensive regulations on the emission of gaseous pollutants".
