Doosan Bobcat unveiled its new all-electric Bobcat T7X compact track loader at CES 2022, an annual technology showcase event.

According to Doosan, the T7X is the first machine of its kind to be fully electric, eliminating hydraulic systems, components, emissions and vibrations while providing cleaner, quieter machines. The Bobcat T7X requires no diesel fuel and produces zero emissions, according to Doosan.

“Doosan Bobcat is at the forefront of innovation, and we are proud to debut the all-electric technology of the T7X to help customers maximize both sustainability and productivity,” Scott Park, president and CEO of Doosan Bobcat, said. “Our focus remains on providing solutions and products that empower people to accomplish more and build a better world.”

“This machine is a technological feat for Bobcat and for the entire industry,” Joel Honeyman, vice president of global innovation at Doosan Bobcat, said. “We challenged the status quo to deliver a connected, all-electric machine designed for power and performance that previously was not possible. We are excited to share this advancement with the world and proud of the hard work that has gone into making this a reality.”

Additionally, Doosan Bobcat entered into a partnership with South Carolina-based equipment rental company Sunbelt Rentals, which committed to a “significant investment” in a fleet of Bobcat T7X all-electric compact track loaders and electric compact excavators in North America. The machines will be co-branded and made available in 2022 and beyond. Sunbelt Rentals will be the first national equipment rental company to adopt Bobcat’s battery-electric technology.

“By making an investment in this first-of-its-kind, all-electric technology, we support our ESG objectives of empowering our customers and communities with the availability of alternative rental solutions that reduce emissions and noise,” Brendan Horgan, CEO of Sunbelt Rentals, said. “Sunbelt Rentals is leading the implementation of electrified on-road and off-road products to unlock the ESG structural benefits of rental.”
