Bauma 2025 will host the world premiere of Bobcat’s new, groundbreaking 1-2t 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’.
“The new 1-2t 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,”said Robert Husar, Product Line Director for Bobcat in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The new generation of 1-2t 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.
Load-sensing Hydraulic System
At the heart of the new 1-2t 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, flowsharing hydraulic system. This sophisticated combination, typically reserved for larger excavators, delivers unparalleled responsiveness and efficiency.
“The brand-new hydraulic system allows operators to smoothly operate multiple functions simultaneously. Even when operating attachments that demand substantial hydraulic power, such as a flail mower, operators can now seamlessly perform multiple functions simultaneously. This includes driving, slewing and lifting with smooth precision,” continues Robert Husar.
