Among the 48 machines on display, 17 new or upgraded models are making their debut, including breakthroughs from the battery-electric lineup, Next Generation platform, and exciting additions to the Demolition, Waste Handling, and Recycling portfolios.
One highlight is the battery-electric 301.9 mini hydraulic excavator, which embodies the future of green technology without compromising on rugged performance.
