The Nexos is Claas's specialist tractor for fruit, wine and hop growing – presented in 2009 as successor to the Fructus that Claas had taken over from Renault, built in cooperation with Carraro in Italy, the specialist for narrow-track tractors, and with FPT engines.

The engine is the FPT F5C four-cylinder of 3.4 litres, with common-rail injection and turbocharging, the transmission a synchromesh gearbox with shuttle and optional powershift step, the rear axle with planetary final drives for the narrow track.
