Bobcat Co.

Two prototypes are being shown at CONEXPO 2020 with the E17e, an electric and hydraulic excavator, and S70, which is Bobcat's smallest skid steer loader.  There is also a concept all-electric T76e loader that has no fluid running through the machine. Instead all the hydraulic components are being replaced by ball-joint actuators.
