BOBCAT is celebrating after being recognised as a winner of Fast Company’s 2023 World Changing Ideas Awards for its all-electric T7X track loader.
The awards honour sustainable designs, innovative products, bold social initiatives and other creative projects that are changing the way we work, live and interact with the world.
Described as the world’s first all-electric compact track loader, the Bobcat T7X received multiple Fast Company honours as it was selected as the winner of the Transportation category, a finalist in the General Excellence category, and an honourable mention in the North America category.
The T7X has eliminated all hydraulic components and emissions. Fully battery-powered, the model is designed to deliver a smaller carbon footprint, a quieter jobsite experience, and also to ‘outperform’ diesel machine counterparts.
Joel Honeyman, Doosan Bobcat VP of global innovation, said, “Innovation is at the core of Bobcat’s legacy. We invented the compact equipment industry 65 years ago with the development of the world’s first compact loader, and we continue to pioneer new products and services to help our customers accomplish more and create a more sustainable world.
“There is always more work to be done and contributions to make within the industry. This is why Bobcat continues to invent new concepts, create new equipment, build smart technologies and develop innovative solutions to empower customers and lead the industry forward.”
