At Intermat 2024, Bobcat introduced the TL25.60e, an electric telehandler concept, showing off its commitment to sustainability. 

The TL25.60e is powered by liquid-cooled batteries, which promises to deliver zero-emission operations without sacrificing performance.

Currently under development and not yet available for purchase, the TL25.60e matches the capabilities of its diesel-powered counterpart with a rated operating capacity of 2.5 tonnes. 

The concept features three separate electric motors, a hydrostatic transmission and a top speed of 25 km/h. 

Maintaining the same super-compact dimensions as the conventional Bobcat TL25.60, the electric telehandler promises low noise levels, reduced operating costs and versatility.

“Just like its diesel-powered counterpart, the Bobcat TL25.60e has been built with versatility at its core,” said Serge Boyer, product manager for telehandlers, Bobcat EMEA. 

“Thanks to its compact footprint, low noise levels, and zero-emission operations, this concept telehandler is suitable for a diverse range of applications, including work on confined job sites and in city centres.”

Vijay Nerva, innovation lead at Bobcat EMEA, said, “We are committed to innovative design that prioritises both cutting-edge technology and operator wellbeing. Our integration of ergonomics and digitisation, exemplified by the transparent T-OLED screen, allows us to introduce customisable, interactive features without compromising the comfort and spacious design of our cabs. 

“We believe this seamless blend of digital solutions and operator-focused design has the potential to change the future of the construction equipment industry for the better.”
