All-electric loader wins design award
Bobcat Company has been selected as a Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner for RogueX2, an all-electric, fully autonomous concept loader.
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most respected design awards in the world, with its Design Concept category identifying and celebrating new design concepts and innovations as the precursors of tomorrow’s great products.
“We are honoured to win the world-renowned Red Dot Award for Design Concept in recognition of the groundbreaking design of the RogueX2,” said Joel Honeyman, vice president of global innovation at Doosan Bobcat. “This award is a testament to the dedication of the Bobcat teams who are passionate about pushing design limits and advancing innovation to redefine the machines of tomorrow.”
The RogueX2 is a powerful, smart machine that produces zero emissions and features a lithium-ion battery, electric drive actuated lift and tilt kinematics with no hydraulics.
Specifically designed and built without a cab, RogueX2 explores the idea of how work machines of the future can be designed and optimized for new technologies and enable an entirely new work experience. Designed with wheels to optimize the electric battery run time, the RogueX2 features axial flux motors, which give the machine incredible tractive effort.
In the research and development stage, the award-winning RogueX2 is not yet commercially available.
