BOBCAT have been recognized as a winner of Fast Company’s 2023 World Changing Ideas Awards, which honour sustainable designs, innovative products, bold social initiatives and other creative projects that are changing the way we work, live and interact with the world.
The world’s first all-electric compact track loader, the Bobcat T7X received multiple Fast Company honours as it was selected as the winner of the Transportation category, a finalist in the General Excellence category and received an honourable mention in the North America category.
The T7X is the first of its kind to eliminate all hydraulic components and emissions. Fully battery powered and emissions-free, the T7X is designed to deliver a smaller carbon footprint and a quieter jobsite experience but was also built to outperform its diesel machine counterparts.
