At bauma, Case Construction Equipment unveiled Impact: its new machine concept that represents a significant step forward in construction technology.
Impact is an electric compact wheel loader (Case eCWL 12EV) with an innovative design, that eliminates the traditional cab.
Instead of being operated from the inside the cab, the machine is remotely operated from a dedicated control lounge. This innovative feature not only enhances operational flexibility but also enables operations in extreme environments and adverse weather conditions, ensuring the safety and comfort of the operator.
As well, Impact marks an advancement in accessibility, as operators with mobility issues can now operate the machine without physical limitations, representing an important step toward inclusivity in the industry.
Impact features an operating weight of 3,880 kg, a 3-metre maximum hinge pin height and a tipping load of 1,940 kg at 40-degree full turn.
Impact perception system
The concept loader also includes an integrated perception system, which uses advanced hardware to collect real-time data, improving efficiency and precision during operation.
Additionally, Impact is equipped with semi-autonomous functionality, allowing automated digging and dumping operations, increasing productivity and being more precise.

The concept loader can be charged from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in six hours or to 100 per cent in 10 hours. Using a fast charger, Impact can be charged to 80 per cent in as little as 60 minutes or 100 per cent in an hour and a half.
It also features a 23-kWh cobalt-free battery, a 17-kWh driveline motor and 22-KwH loader arm motor.
The innovative concept loader project was developed by the CNH Industrial Design team, in collaboration with CNH’s Vehicle and Electronics Department and various technological partners.
With Impact, Case aims to continue to push the boundaries of mechanical engineering, investing in smart and safe technological solutions that address the needs of an ever-evolving industry.
