Bobcat to showcase electric, digital concepts at Bauma

Bobcat will showcase some of its latest machine and technology concepts in development for contractors at the world’s largest construction equipment trade show in October. For Bauma 2022 in Munich, Germany, the company will have a comprehensive display of its wheeled and tracked loaders, compact excavators, telehandlers and more. This will include new excavators of 5 to 8 metric tons and new attachments. However, machine debuts and its latest efforts in electrification and digitisation of construction will be the focus. Bobcat has unveiled two electric compact excavators, the E32 and the E10e, its first electric compact excavator announced in 2019, and the world’s first electric compact track loader, the T7X, unveiled earlier this year. With the T7X, Bobcat has delivered a connected, all-electric machine designed for power and performance. The CTL has been recognized for its ingenuity with two CES Innovation Awards in the Vehicle Intelligence and Transportation and Smart Cities categories. At Bauma, Bobcat will be using the T7X to continue to gather feedback from customers who work in different applications, so the company can understand market opportunities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In addition, the company will be looking to study the regulatory needs in Europe and after-sales infrastructure readiness. In addition, replacing the 700 and 800 M Series loaders and completing the current R-Series loader lineup, the company will unveil the S86 R-Series skid steer loader and T86 R-Series CTL. According to Bobcat, the two machines will be the company's most powerful compact loaders.
