Bobcat is releasing a special, limited-edition run of its top models to celebrate the production of its new R2-Series 1-2 tonne mini excavators.

Only 50 of these Premiere Launch Edition machines will be produced for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) markets, making them a rare piece of equipment. The latest generation R2-Series comprises the new E16, E17z, E19 and E20z models, first seen at the Bauma show in April 2025.

The exclusive limited-edition version for the E19 and the E20z models. Only 25 units of each will be produced. The special features offered by the Premiere Launch Edition include:

• Charcoal grey colour

• Individual numbered plate in the cab
• Aluminium pedals
• 4 high-value aftermarket kits as standard:

  • Bucket Cylinder Cover

Miroslav Konas, Product Line Manager for Doosan Bobcat EMEA, said:

“We are launching the Premiere Launch Edition to promote the new range and to emphasise our market presence at the time of the start of production for the new machines. The Premiere Launch Edition is a strong conversation starter and sales tool, and gives dealers an opportunity to offer customers a high-spec machine that is both visually distinctive and technically enhanced.”

The E16, E17z, E19 and E20z new generation R2-Series 1-2 tonne mini excavators replace the previous M-Series E17, E17z, E19 and E20z machines, respectively. The new models offer a fresh look, signifying new levels of performance and features and are designed to meet all the variations found across the EMEA market.

Among the many new features that are creating excitement around the new R2-Series 1-2 tonne mini excavators is the high-performance SmartFlow load-sensing hydraulics system coupled to a closed centre/flow-sharing valve block powered by an upgraded engine, providing a sophisticated engineering set up that is unique in smaller machines like these.

The new mini excavators offer the required flow, utilising the minimum energy needed, ensuring the minimum of power is expended, allowing the operator to always work hard with the excavator, but at the same time save fuel. This results in a lowering of fuel consumption of up to 18% coupled with a noise reduction of 4 dBA (compared to the previous generation machines).
