Bobcat plans to unveil its new RogueX2 autonomous loader concept at Intermat 2024 in France in April. 

The RogueX2 loader has been developed from the RogueX concept presented at the Conexpo show in Las Vegas last year. 

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

Specifically designed and built without a cab, the RogueX2 and RogueX concept machines address the challenges of workforce shortages by eliminating the need for an operator. 

They also provide the blueprint for how work machines of the future can be designed and optimised for new technologies and enable an entirely new work experience. 

In RogueX2, the internal combustion engine (ICE) is replaced with an electric powertrain for power and drive. 

This machine also eliminates 100% of the hydraulics, including all connectors, hoses, tubelines and fittings that are common failure points. 

The absence of hydraulics and fluids in its design not only reduces ICE emissions but also minimises noise pollution and the risk of all environmental pollution. 

RogueX and RogueX2 are both in the research and development phase and not commercially available.

The two concept loaders have garnered many new patents pending.  

“These patents represent more than new features on a machine, they signify how we are breaking rules to define a new work experience,” says Joel Honeyman, Doosan Bobcat vice president of global innovation. 

Bobcat also plans to showcase its new range of rotary telehandlers at Intermat 2024.

The new range offers nine Stage V powered models for the European market with lifting heights from 18 m to 39 m and four Stage IIIA machines for sale in the Middle East and Africa covering lifting heights from 18m to 26 m.
