Social distancing may have pressed the pause button on live awards, but, across the industry, recognition of outstanding achievements continues, with virtual awards presented and nominations being invited for future events
STEYR KONZEPT LANDS TOP AWARD
Steyr, part of CNH Industrial, has won the prestigious Platinum Award in the 2020 MUSE Design Awards Competition in the concept design category.
Decided by a jury composed of renowned international design professionals and leading industry specialists, the Steyr Konzept succeeded in a field of some 3,000 entrants.
Combining innovative technologies in a unique, sustainable and zero emission package, styling cues were integrated and reinterpreted with a futuristic slant, such as the traditional external white cab structure and the inclusion of an asymmetrical grille.
AEM INVITES NOMINATIONS
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Hall of Fame is seeking nominations for 2020.
The AEM Hall of Fame recognises pioneers whose inventions, ideas, leadership and courage have contributed to the industry and the community’s quality of life. Since 2008 it has honoured pioneering individuals who invented, managed, built or led the off-road equipment industry including luminaries from John Deere and JI Case to William Smith Otis and Benjamin Holt.
In 2019, the AEM inducted its first woman leader, Mary Andringa of Vermeer Corporation (above), into its Hall of Fame, and is looking to continue to break new ground in 2020.
