The work of designers Jakub Sulikowski and David Wilkie, together with the collaboration of Guido Bianco, the efforts of the CNH Industrial design team and the Vehicles and Electronics Department, CNH presents Case Impact, an innovative electric wheel loader concept. The traditional CASE orange was not used, but rather an intense metallic shade, with a decidedly reddish hue was chosen instead for this machine that also stands out for its cutting-edge technology. It is in fact a compact, electric wheel loader (CASE eCWL 12EV), without a traditional cabin.

Rather than being driven from inside, the machine can be controlled remotely, either by a single operator using a handheld remote control or from a special control room. This innovation not only improves operational flexibility, but also allows work in extreme environments and difficult climatic conditions, and – of course – in the utmost safety. The concept integrates an advanced perception system, equipped with sophisticated hardware for real-time data collection, which improves efficiency and precision during operations.

Additionally, Impact features semi-autonomous capabilities, enabling automated digging and dumping operations, increasing productivity and accuracy. The Industrial Design Association awarded the machine for its cabin-free design, electric motor, remote control, obstacle detection system, GNSS localization, and Auto Dig-Dump-Metering system. The CNH electric wheel loader weighs 5 tons, is 541 cm long, 205 cm wide and 240 cm high.
