“We are honoured to win the world-renowned Red Dot Award for Design Concept in recognition of the groundbreaking design of the RogueX2,” Doosan Bobcat vice president of global innovation Joel Honeyman says.

“This award is a testament to the dedication of the Bobcat teams who are passionate about pushing design limits and advancing innovation to redefine the machines of tomorrow.”

Bobcat says the RogueX2 was built as a proving ground to advance the company’s innovation leadership and has garnered many new patents pending.

“To build a smarter, more sustainable and connected future, we must ask the questions no one else has thought to ask before and invent new solutions that previously did not exist,” Honeyman says.

Currently in the research and development stage, the RogueX2 is not yet commercially available.
