Doosan Bobcat, Inc., a company within Doosan Group, will be showcasing its latest product and technology concepts from 9-12 January at the world’s most influential technology event, CES 2024

The Bobcat display within the Doosan booth offers show attendees the opportunity to see several of its machines up close and interact with technology demos. Bobcat will also unveil a new concept machine during CES’ Media Days at the Doosan press conference taking place at Mandalay Bay’s Tradewinds ballroom.  

Highlights include:

- New smart machine transforms farming  

This new concept machine which will be launched by Bobcat is designed to make farming more sustainable, efficient and smart through AI, autonomy and electric operation. This machine and technology will change the way work is done and will be announced at CES Media Days and on display the week of CES in the Doosan booth.  

- CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree: The All-Electric Bobcat S7X Skid-Steer Loader   

Powered with a lithium-ion battery, the S7X steer-skid loader is all-electric, as Bobcat eliminated all hydraulics, and instead uses electric drive motors and ball screw actuators for lift and tilt functions. By eliminating the hydraulics, the S7X has 50% fewer components, simpler componentry and 96% less fluid, coolants and lubricants compared to traditional diesel-hydraulic loaders.  

- Advanced display technology enhances operator productivity

With its transparent, touch display concept, Bobcat is displaying the future of advanced display technology, which enables operators to seamlessly view both the jobsite and operation information. Built into the cab door of the S7X, the display serves dual purposes by transforming the machine’s main window to enhance operator productivity and efficiency to the task at hand. 

- Bobcat RogueX2 concept loader tests the limits of machine functionality

The RogueX2 is an all-electric and autonomous concept machine producing zero emissions, as it features a lithium-ion battery, electric drive system and electric actuated lift and tilt kinematics with no hydraulics.     

- Bobcat ZT6200 autonomous zero-turn mower addresses labor challenges 

The Bobcat autonomous mower allows operators to plot a perimeter and mark areas for the mower to avoid during autonomous operations. The machine utilises specialised mapping to execute the most efficient route that can be repeated, all of which can be managed or customised on a simple smartphone app.  

- Bobcat digital technologies revolutionise the jobsite 

Show attendees can learn how to get the most from Bobcat equipment with its digital products such as Bobcat MaxControl and Bobcat Machine IQ.
