Por Dentro da CBT: O Trator que Ainda Roda 30 Anos Após o Fim da Empresa

The Brazilian Tractor Company (CBT) was founded in 1959 in a country that dreamed of manufacturing everything with its own hands. It produced 111,000 tractors, exported to five continents, and had its own airstrip in the interior of São Paulo. Then, in 1995, it closed its doors for good—swept away by economic liberalization, debt, and bets that were too big for the wrong time. But the tractors kept running. This is the complete story of CBT: its heyday, the impossible projects, the collapse, and the legacy that no bankruptcy could erase. If you know someone who worked at CBT, or have ever seen one of those yellow tractors around, tell us in the comments. Subscribe to the channel so you don't miss the next documentaries.
