近期，凯斯建筑设备的580 EV电动挖掘装载机获得2020年优秀设计奖。

该奖项每年由芝加哥雅典娜建筑设计博物馆（Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design）和大都会艺术出版社（Metropolitan Arts Press）颁发，以表彰全球最“创新和尖端的工业、产品和图形设计”。

凯斯的电动挖掘装载机也称为“宙斯计划（Project Zeus）”，以其照明元素、简洁的线条和直观的用户设计赢得了此项大奖。据了解，凯斯580 EV是全球建筑业中的第一台电动挖掘装载机，其功率和性能与公司产品线中的其他柴油动力挖掘装载机相同。

该机型于去年三月在美国拉斯维加斯的ConExpo 2020上推出，目前仅在北美地区销售。该机由480伏锂离子电池组供电，可实现零排放，与同级别的凯斯机器相比，其日常运行成本更低。

Case electric backhoe wins design award

By Leila Steed

Case Construction Equipment has won the 2020 Good Design Award for its 580 EV electric backhoe loader.

The accolade, which is given out annually by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and the Metropolitan Arts Press, recognises the world’s most “innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product and graphic designs”.

Also known as ‘Project Zeus’, Case’s electric backhoe loader picked up the prize for its lighting elements, clean lines and intuitive user design. The 580 EV model, which is said to be the first electric backhoe loader in the construction industry worldwide, provides the same power and performance as other diesel-powered backhoes in the company’s product line.

The model was introduced at ConExpo 2020 in Las Vegas, US, last March and is currently only available in the North American region. The zero-emissions model is powered by a 480-volt lithium-ion battery pack and has lower daily operating costs when compared to similar Case machines.

David Wilkie, head of the CNH Industrial Design Center, said, “It is extremely practical and built around function while delivering distinctive design elements that communiCATe strength and progress.

“From the lighting to the color and the way that the operator interacts with the machine. ‘Project Zeus’ represents the sustainability and forward-thinking of our industry.”

The Good Design award program was originally established by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
