MultiViu Compact 7 Continental
A modern display for agricultural vehicles For drivers or operators of any vehicles it is very important to have the information displayed in a quick, clear and transparent way. This has a big influence on the safe and stress-free driving, as well as on the work comfort, especially in difficult outdoor conditions. Such conditions undoubtedly prevail in the agricultural sector. As operators of agricultural machines often spend many hours in the hot sun, it is essential for them to have access to all necessary vehicle data without any problems.

It is equally important that even in strong sunlight, the driver must be able to easily read all the data. That is why the specs also insisted on a particularly bright display. The appearance of the device played an equally important role in the decision making process.
