Doosan Bobcat announced on the 19th that its future-oriented concept product, the 'Rogue X3,' received a main award in the "Design Concept" category of the Red Dot Award, one of the world's three major design awards.
Following the Rogue X2 in 2024, Doosan Bobcat has won its second Red Dot Award with the Rogue X platform.
The Rogue X3 is a fully electric loader that powers all functions with electricity and emits no exhaust fumes during operation. It enables precise unmanned work and remote operation by utilizing high-precision location information, navigation, sensors, and cameras. Additionally, it features a modular design, a first for the Rogue X platform, allowing changes to wheel type, the presence or absence of an operator's cab, and power units according to the working environment.
The vehicle structure is also differentiated from that of general small loaders. Unlike general small loaders, which use hydraulic devices at the front to operate attachments such as buckets, the Rogue X3 places electric drive units at the rear of the vehicle body. This has widened the forward field of view. Furthermore, by simplifying the structure, the number of parts was reduced by more than half, enhancing energy efficiency and maintenance convenience.
The battery is integrated with the vehicle's frame to lower the center of gravity and enhance stability.
Doosan Bobcat explained that it received high praise for optimizing its equipment structure for electrification and unmanned operation in response to changes on construction sites, such as labor shortages and environmental requirements.
A Doosan Bobcat official emphasized, "Through Lee Beon (수상), we have once again been recognized for the innovation of the Rogue X, which overcomes the limitations of existing industrial design and responds to various working environments with a single piece of equipment." The official added, "We will continue our research on developing equipment that enhances work convenience and efficiency in response to rapidly changing user demands."
Meanwhile, the Rogue X3 is a concept model first unveiled at 'CES 2026,' the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition, in January of this year. Doosan Bobcat plans to utilize the technology and design methods acquired through the Rogue X series in future product development.
