Case Construction Equipment has presented a concept for an autonomous electric compact wheel loader at the Bauma trade show in Munich.
Based on the CASE eCWL 12EV platform, the electric Impact machine replaces the traditional operator cabin with remote control functionality via a dedicated control lounge.
The design is intended to support operation in challenging environments and weather conditions, while also offering a more accessible solution for operators with motor impairments.
The concept includes an integrated perception system that uses real-time data to support machine operation, along with semi-autonomous features for digging and dumping. These elements aim to improve consistency and efficiency during use, the company said.

The project was developed by the CNH Industrial Design team in collaboration with CNH’s Vehicle and Electronics Department and several technology partners.
Riccardo Balma, compact & service equipment product manager, Case, told International Rental News that although the company does intend to develop a version of the machine for the market, no timeline for availability has been confirmed.
