Case Construction Equipment
“Project Zeus” is the Case 580 EV backhoe loader — the construction industry’s first electric backhoe loader.
Case Construction Equipment has earned a 2020 Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press for "Project Zeus": the Case 580 EV (electric vehicle) backhoe loader — the world's first electric backhoe.
The award recognizes "the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product, and graphic designs produced around the world."
This is the third Case design to win in four years. Case G Series wheel loaders were honored in 2017, and the methane-powered concept wheel loader, Project Tetra, won in 2019.
