Bobcat debuts electric telehandler concept at INTERMAT 2024, proving sustainability and performance can go hand in hand
Posted on 24 April 2024
Bobcat is using INTERMAT 2024 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 tonne, 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 25 km/h and the same super-compact dimensions as the conventional Bobcat TL25.60 model, the cutting-edge electric concept delivers low noise levels, minimal operating costs and impressive versatility.
Serge Boyer, Product Manager for Telehandlers, Bobcat EMEA, said: “Just like its diesel-powered counterpart, the Bobcat TL25.60e has been built with versatility at its core. Thanks to its compact footprint, low noise levels and zero-emission operations, this concept telehandler is suitable for a diverse range of applications, including work on confined job sites and in city centres.
Vijay Nerva, Innovation Lead, Bobcat EMEA, commented: “At Bobcat, we are committed to innovative design that prioritizes both cutting-edge technology and operator wellbeing. Our integration of ergonomics and digitization, exemplified by the transparent T-OLED screen, allows us to introduce customizable, interactive features without compromising the comfort and spacious design of our cabs. We believe this seamless blend of digital solutions and operator-focused design has the potential to change the future of the construction equipment industry for the better.”
