Bauma 2025 will host the world premiere of Bobcat’s new, groundbreaking 1-2 t mini excavators and the latest upgrade of the E88 mini excavator, the top-of-the-range model in Europe.
Bobcat will also demonstrate how it is bringing its world-famous, cutting-edge technologies to the jobsite of the future.
From the RogueX and RogueX2 autonomous loader concepts, the TL25.60e electric telehandler concept and electric machines such as the T7X and S7X compact loaders and the E10e and E19e electric mini excavators, visitors can see how exciting developments are moving ‘from concepts to customers’.
Robert Husar, Product Line Director for Bobcat in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: “The new 1-2 t mini excavator models build on the successes of the previous generation of machines with well over 34,000 units already retailed.
“After 3 years of development, the new models, featuring over 500 new components, will be available in the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets later this year.
“A team of more than 50 engineers and designers have worked on the new designs, with over 80 customer visits to collect the scope, with ride and drive sessions with operators to validate prototypes, forming part of over 20,000 hours of testing and validation work.”
The new generation of 1-2 t mini excavators includes the E16, E17z, E19 and E20z models. The line-up offers new levels of performance and features, a fresh look and is designed to meet the specific needs of EMEA customers. Moreover, the new generation comes with many new advanced features, so far only available on larger excavators.
At the heart of the new 1-2 t mini excavators lies a cutting-edge powertrain, featuring a robust, upgraded engine seamlessly integrated with a new, high-performance load-sensing pump bundled with a closed centre, flow sharing hydraulic system. This sophisticated combination, typically reserved for larger excavators, delivers unparalleled responsiveness and efficiency.
The increased level of operator comfort results from the use of the Fritzmeier cab also utilized on Bobcat’s popular E60, 6 t mini excavator model. This cab offers improved window and windscreen opening and closing, reduced noise and vibrations, as well as additional standard features and options. These include Direct to Tank and an intermittent wiper – standard in all configurations; a rear-view camera – optional for machines with a 7-inch display; and a new Radio FM/AM/DAB/Phone Ready function – included in some specifications as standard.
Bobcat, the leader in innovation, is constantly pushing the boundaries of construction equipment. The company recently introduced the TL25.60e, an electric telehandler concept designed to exceed the power and performance of its diesel counterpart while emitting zero emissions to offer a more sustainable solution.
Bobcat offers its electric mini excavators across global locations, allowing operators worldwide to accomplish more on environmentally sensitive worksites or indoors where exhaust fumes are restricted. In North America, Bobcat offers the all-electric T7X compact track loader, designed for efficiency and versatility, as well as a zero-turn mower to enhance landscaping and groundskeeping operations.
Furthermore, at Bauma, Bobcat will present innovative concepts like the RogueX2, an autonomous compact loader, and the S7X, the world's first all-electric skid-steer loader. Both the RogueX2 and S7X remain in the research and development phase.
