Bobcat electric telehandler concept at Intermat 2024

Bobcat is using Intermat 2024 (April 24th to 27th in Paris) as a launchpad for its TL25.60e electric telehandler concept. Powered by liquid-cooled batteries, the zero-emission machine demonstrates that it is possible to achieve genuinely sustainable operations without compromising performance.

The Bobcat TL25.60e, which is still in development and not yet commercially available, has a rated operating capacity (ROC) of 2.5 tonnes, matching the performance offered by its diesel-powered equivalent. With three separated electric motors designed to maximize efficiency, a hydrostatic transmission to boost performance, a maximum speed of 25km/h, and the same super-compact dimensions as the conventional Bobcat TL25.60 model, Bobcat reckons the cutting-edge electric concept delivers low noise levels, minimal operating costs and impressive versatility.

More innovations
Bobcat is showcasing a diverse range of other advanced machines alongside its TL25.60e concept at Intermat 2024, including mini-excavators, skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, compact wheel loaders, ground maintenance units, portable power models, material handling equipment and more.

In addition to the TL25.60e electric telehandler concept, Bobcat is using the Paris exhibition to launch its brand-new PG40 and PG50 generators. The manufacturer is also showcasing a range of other recently introduced product additions and innovations, such as its M-Series S630 and S650 Stage V skid-steer loaders, PA12.7v compressor, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biofuel-compatible units, its updated range of rotary telehandlers for markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and collision warning and avoidance system.

The Bobcat RogueX2 concept loader (shown below), which received its world premiere at CES 2024 in January of this year, is also making its European debut at Intermat 2024. This autonomous, all-electric machine has been built as a proving ground for technologies developed as part of Bobcat’s innovation roadmap, accelerating the manufacturer’s progress toward a smarter, more sustainable and connected future.
