CNH's 'A Sustainable Year' series spotlights sustainable production in Lecce
Basildon, July 8, 2024
In the third installment of CNH's 'A Sustainable Year' series learn more about
how our first electric compact wheel loader started production this month at our
Lecce plant in Italy.
The article explains how we redesigned every aspect of this new 3.7-ton machine,
and how investment in more sustainable manufacturing processes is transforming
operations at the plant. Lecce is home to CNH's largest photovoltaic power
installation to date. This comprises 7,300 solar panels, with a peak power of
3.3 Megawatts (MW) at any one time, reducing CO(2) emissions by more than 1,200
tons per year - the equivalent of a petrol-powered car circumnavigating the
world 125 times.
The site produces machines for CNH's CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland
Construction brands with more than 200 models rolling off seven production
lines, including a brand new one for the electric compact wheel loaders.
