Bobcat’s electric display at bauma 2019

At bauma 2019, the Bobcat stand will promote every area of Bobcat’s business, with a show of brand new and existing Bobcat products and their applications. The exciting display of Bobcat machines will be complemented by advanced augmented reality technology. The stand will also include areas dedicated to the company’s enhanced aftermarket parts and services, as well as financing solutions. One of the star attractions at bauma will be the launch of the new Bobcat E10e Electric mini-excavator, said to be one of the industry’s first commercially available fully electric, zero tail swing (ZTS) mini-excavator in the 1-t class. The E10e will be presented both in the demonstration area on the stand, but also in its own dedicated zone, one of six on the stand that demonstrate applications for Bobcat products. The new E10e is based on the design of the successful conventional E10 mini-excavator. Confirming its market leadership, Bobcat has sold well over 10 000 E10s in just 10 years (the E10 is now called the E10z to reflect that it is a ZTS mini-exca- vator). With its ZTS profile, no emissions, a Metso is introducing a number of new, state-of-the-art solutions for the aggregate, construction and mining industries at bauma 2019, the industry’s leading tradeshow in Munich, April 8-14. The launches include technologies and services that enable improving productivity and driving down costs. “Metso continues to invest in the development of solutions for aggregates and mining segments and we are extremely excited to be able to launch these latest innovations at Bauma,” says Olli-Pekka Ok- sanen, vice-president, West Europe market area at Metso. “Many of the developments we are showcasing at Bauma are based on our customers’ feedback on product capabil- ities and their business requirements. These solutions help our customers to improve the performance of existing operations and to control cost per ton.” Along with the new crushing and screening solutions, Metso will unveil a groundbreaking innovation for off-highway trucks, enabling mines and quarries to haul more with less. This major product launch will expand Metso’s offering into completely new territory and help customers reach a higher payload while lowering their operating costs. In addition to the key launches to be published at the event, Metso will show- case a broad range of equipment, wear and

The E10e is part of a display that will cover the entire Bobcat mini-excavator range, incor- porating the company’s new R-Series for the first time at Bauma.
