HITACHI Construction Machinery (Europe) is celebrating after its LANDCROS One concept excavator earned recognition at the 2025 Red Dot Design Awards.
LANDCROS One, developed in collaboration with Granstudio, was unveiled at bauma 2025 in Munich earlier this year. It offers three powertrain options – electric, diesel or hydrogen – to meet the need for flexible and sustainable operations. Three operating modes – manual, AI-assisted and autonomous – accommodate varying skill levels of operators and allow for fully remote operation.
To enhance safety and reduce fatigue, the concept has integrated digital solutions such as AI-assisted controls, remote workstations and 360-degree sensor systems.
“LANDCROS One is more than just a machine,” said HCME president and CEO Francesco Quaranta. “It’s our commitment to deliver solutions beyond machinery in a new construction ecosystem.
“We’re proud to lead the next wave of innovation, empowering the next-generation workforce and redefining possibilities in the construction machinery industry.”
