CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI/ MI: CNHI) has named Leandro Lecheta as the new Head of Construction Equipment for North America, overseeing both the CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction Equipment businesses, as well as the CNH Industrial Aftermarket Solutions business — the company’s parts and service organization.

Lecheta previously served as the chief financial officer (CFO) for the agriculture segment at CNH Industrial, as well as the company’s North American chief operating officer (COO).

CASE Construction Equipment has launched its next generation of compact track loaders (CTLs) and skid steers with the introduction of the B Series — five CTLs and eight skid steers spanning radial and vertical lift patterns, as well as numerous horsepower and size classes* to provide contractors with the equipment choices best suited to their operation (*see model chart at end of news release).

“CASE CTLs and skid steers are enhanced to deliver a completely new and intuitive operating experience while also standing up to the rigors of heavy earthmoving and attachment use,” says George Mac Intyre, product manager for compact equipment, CASE. “The B Series retains the styling of previous CASE loaders, yet critical operational systems have been re-engineered for greater performance, and fully integrated with new control and operator interfaces to give contractors a powerful match of productivity, efficiency and convenience.”
