Bobcat is aiming to
revolutionize the compact excavator market in Europe when it shows a completely
new generation of 2-4 tonne machines for the first time at Intermat 2018.
In the new
generation, Bobcat 2-4 tonne compact excavators, all the new models already
meet the upcoming European Stage V engine emission regulations and introduce
new levels of operator comfort, enhanced controllability and smoothness of all
working functions complemented by new ground-breaking design features and
styling.
The first details to
be released by the company are on the new 2-3 tonne E26, E27z and E27 models
(with operating weights of 2560, 2700 and 2610 kg, respectively). All
three models offer best-in-class stability as well as complying with weight
limits for easy trailering.
The main focus has
been on operator comfort with the new machines incorporating many innovative
features and offering an enhanced level of quality and robustness. They
form a new flexible machine platform with different configurations of machines
and specifications to suit a wide range of applications and customer
needs.
A similar radical
transformation is taking place in the 3-4 tonne range. The new E34 and
E35z have been developed to reinforce the Bobcat product offering in this
category of compact excavator. The company will release more information
on these new machines at Intermat.
Jaroslav Fiser,
Product Line Director for Bobcat Mini-Excavators in EMEA, commented: “This is a
very exciting time for everybody in Bobcat involved in the development of our
new products.
"Our engineers
and product experts have worked closely together with our salesforce and
selected European dealers to ensure the new products meet the specific
requirements of the very demanding customer base in Europe. We are very
much looking forward to unveiling our new machines at the Intermat Fair in
Paris in April 2018.”
