Project developed collaboratively by studios in the United Kingdom and China features innovations such as 309° visibility and an intelligent weighing system
Campinas, September 2026 – Global construction equipment manufacturer LiuGong Machinery has been recognized with the 2026 Red Dot Product Design Award for its new family of T Series wheel loaders. The achievement marks the company’s third victory in the design competition and celebrates 60 years of technological innovation by LiuGong in this equipment segment.
The development of the T Series is the result of collaboration between LiuGong’s design studios in the United Kingdom and China. The new lineup features a unified, operator-focused architecture developed based on field research and analysis of direct customer demands.
Comprising models ranging from 7 to 33 tons, the lineup was recognized by the jury for combining industrial design with practical functionality. Technical highlights of the project include 309° panoramic visibility from the cab, an electrically tilting hood designed to facilitate maintenance processes, and an intelligent load-weighing system. The equipment offers global engine versatility, meeting emissions standards ranging from Tier 2 to Stage V.
“The T Series project involved the holistic development of a common design DNA across the entire machine family, improving functionality, ergonomics and visual identity,” explains Gary Major, Senior Industrial Designer at LiuGong Europe. “Although this is our third Red Dot victory, this one is particularly meaningful because it celebrates the product that laid the foundation for LiuGong: wheel loaders. It is a milestone for our global design team,” the executive adds.
Held annually in Essen, Germany, the Red Dot Award: Product Design is one of the industry’s most respected competitions, evaluating thousands of entries based on criteria such as innovation, functionality and ergonomic quality. The new T Series will join the collection of the Red Dot Design Museum alongside LiuGong’s other two award-winning projects from previous editions: the 4180D motor grader and the Dressta TD-16N crawler dozer.
