New Holland is Featured in the Latest James Bond Film 'CASINO ROYALE'

PARIS, April 25 --

- New Holland Will be Making its Silver Screen Debut With the Eagerly Awaited Release of the Latest James Bond Film - "Casino Royale"

The James Bond production company chose New Holland, the global construction equipment manufacturer member of the Fiat Group, to supply a total of 11 machines, including two W190 wheel loaders, to support the making of this latest blockbuster. A W190 will have the starring role in the film's opening sequence where, in a special Bond chase situation, the new James Bond - Daniel Craig - also making his debut appearance, gives chase to one of the film's villains, "Two Fingers".

The remaining New Holland machines, including crawler excavators, backhoe loaders and skid steer loaders, will be used to create a realistic construction site, where the action sequence takes place. Filming for this sequence has already been completed in the Bahamas.

Said Luigi Monti, Vice President Global Marketing for New Holland, "We are proud to announce our partnership in the next James Bond movie Casino Royale! There are many strong similarities between Bond and New Holland. Bond has a strong history, with an impressive heritage of renowned leading actors associated as 'Bond' men.
