CASE Construction Equipment, a brand of CNH Industrial, has launched the CX 220C LC heavy-duty excavator in South Africa. The latest addition to the CASE excavator line-up, manufactured at the company’s plant in India, is designed for tough applications such as quarrying, forestry and earthworks, as well as general construction jobs.
FUEL-EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE
