The 2-tonne battery-electric machine features the same profile, external dimensions and offers comparable performance as the popular diesel powered E19 mini excavator, more than 10,000 units of which have been sold globally.
According to Miroslav Konas, mini excavator product manager at Doosan Bobcat EMEA, with a width of just 98cm, the new E19e model is ideally suited for indoor applications where space is at a premium.
“The E19e is a perfect fit for applications such as indoor and outdoor demolition, landscaping and infrastructure activities,” he says, “as well as other tasks that necessitate night-time work or low noise levels. The machine, therefore, fits the bill for rental companies and contractors alike.”
Featuring a 3.5-hour battery capacity, the E19e comes with a super-fast charger, which allows for opportunity charging during work breaks, thus maximising uptime on site.
Doosan Bobcat CEO Scott Park says the launch of the E19e confirms Bobcat’s commitment to helping the industry meet its environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets: “The move toward a more sustainable construction industry is well underway with a clear roadmap ahead to deliver zero-emission equipment fit for the future.
“Battery-electric products form a major part of this ambition, and we remain at the forefront of the global rollout.”
