Doosan Bobcat and Green Machine Partner to Produce Electric Compact Excavators
(UC) — Doosan Bobcat North America and Green Machine Equipment, Inc. announced a strategic partnership to produce electric/hydraulic Bobcat compact excavators.
Green Machine will custom retrofit Bobcat excavators with their proprietary battery technology to replace the standard diesel power source and will sell the machines in select markets beginning this year.
These electric/hydraulic machines will provide the power and performance equivalent to diesel-powered models, along with considerably lower daily operating costs, zero emissions, reduced noise and minimal maintenance.
“This strategic partnership marks another key milestone in our drive to bring the latest technologies to our customers and accelerate electrification in our industry,” said Joel Honeyman, vice president of Global Innovation at Doosan Bobcat.
Launched in 2010, New York-based Green Machine is a wholly owned subsidiary of alternative energy company Viridi Parente, Inc.
“By teaming up with Doosan Bobcat, we can further advance our technology and the benefits of electrification through the power and performance for which Bobcat machines are known,” said Jon M. Williams, CEO.
