Steam engines, presses, turbines and hydraulic machines have been manufactured in the halls of the Ateliers de constructions mécanique de Vevey (ACMV) on the shores of Lake Geneva since the middle of the 19th century. One of the first customers was also the Nestlé company - today a global corporation and only a stone's throw away from the ACMV site.
Tractor construction began in 1936, and within just half a year, engineer Charley Boudry designed the first Vevey tractor, called the V2. Numerous patents guaranteed success, which manifested itself in over 100 units of the V2 Diesel sold. Barely 10 years later, the company reached its economic peak thanks to one of the best tractors of its time: the Vevey 560 with 6 cylinders diesel engine.
The success of the model was based on technical achievements such as the switchable differential lock, or a sophisticated mounting system that allowed heavy attachments to be mounted in just a few steps. And last but not least, thanks to the powerful 6-cylinder diesel engine from American production.
75 vehicles of the Type 560 were also sold to the army, which raised the brand's profile even more. Vevey was able to sell a total of around 700 units of this type, which was a considerable volume given the selling price of almost 20,000 Swiss francs at the time.
