Each year the program celebrates the most innovative industrial, product and graphic designs produced around the world.
The CASE 580EV, which was recognized for exceptional industrial design, seamlessly combines form and functionality to create an unmatched operator experience.
Clean, flowing body lines accented with boldly colored “electric blue” decaling help call out the cutting-edge EV technology under the hood. Inside the cab, CASE took an operator-first approach with an 8-inch color touch screen display, user-friendly controls and ergonomic membrane keypads protected against dust and other debris. Multicolored, four-corner strobe lights also let operators work safely and meet regulatory requirements, with adjustable colors, strobe patterns and an “always-on” feature for low-light conditions when strobes are not needed.
“We designed this workhorse machine from day one as a purpose-built, high-performing EV, but we also wanted it to have a look and feel that operators would love,” said Terry Dolan, vice president — North America, CASE Construction Equipment. “This recognition from GOOD DESIGN® underscores our continued leadership in design excellence and functional innovation as we work harder than anyone to give contractors more tools in the toolbox for them to succeed on the jobsite.”
