Agricultural tracks formerly sold under the Camso brand are moving into Michelin’s agricultural portfolio as the company reorganises its Beyond Road activities.
From September 2026, the tracks will be marketed as Michelin Bibtrack. Michelin says the transition will not change the products themselves, with no changes to design, performance or manufacturing processes as a result of the rebranding.
The move brings agricultural track technology closer to Michelin’s established range of agricultural tyres, with the Bib designation reflecting product families such as Agribib, Axiobib, Multibib, Yieldbib and Evobib.
For field operations, Michelin highlights three areas where track systems can influence machine performance: traction, load distribution and durability.
Load distribution is particularly relevant to soil management. Track systems can provide a larger contact area than conventional wheel arrangements, potentially spreading machine loads over a greater area of soil. The resulting effect on soil loading, however, remains dependent on machine mass, track dimensions, contact pressure, operating conditions and the way traffic is managed across the field.
Michelin says agricultural tracks and systems are intended to address the requirements of modern farming, including productivity in demanding conditions, traction, soil compaction and sustained performance.
The company’s conversion track systems (CTS) and trailed track systems (TTS) will also move under the Michelin brand, but retain their existing product names.
The rebranding follows Michelin’s sale of the Camso brand and its compact-line construction products to CEAT, completed in September 2025. Michelin retained the agricultural track and system business as part of its Beyond Road portfolio.
For machinery operators, the change therefore represents a branding and portfolio rationalisation rather than a new generation of track technology.
The underlying engineering considerations remain unchanged: matching track dimensions and operating pressures to machine loads and field conditions, while considering how and when machinery travels across the soil.
Michelin says the wider objective is to simplify its off-road portfolio while continuing to develop solutions addressing productivity, traction, load distribution and durability.
