ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced that CNH Industrial ("CNH"), a global leader in the capital goods sector with a wide range of products and a worldwide presence, has deployed Vuzix M400™ smart glasses within its CNH de Brazil group across its Case, NewHolland and Iveco brands for training their product dealers throughout Latin America. Local Vuzix distributor TotalPower supplied CNH with Wi-Fi routers and software in addition to Vuzix smart glasses.

The CNH Industrial Group is present in 180 countries, has more than 64,000 employees in 66 factories and 57 research and development centers. For its Latin America dealers, the use of Vuzix smart glasses for the purpose of conducting training reduced the need for students and specialists to travel by generating real-time content and a first-person view. With a strong reduction in costs and increased efficiency in the instruction process, it also allowed greater reach and participation of students, especially in distant regions of Latin America.

"The use of Vuzix Smart Glasses for training continues to grow around the world as more and more enterprise customers understand and embrace the cost and productivity improvements this application offers," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix.  "We are pleased to keep expanding our customer opportunities in South America through our distributor TotalPower and also to count industry leader CNH among the growing list of blue-chip companies that are embracing our technology."
