[VIDEO] Bobcat Brings Next Big Thing with First All-electric Skid-steer Loader

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.
