Doosan Infracore North America is breaking the final ties with former sister company Doosan Bobcat with a new line of compact excavators for the US in 2022.

Four models, ranging from 2.7 to 5.5 tonne, will arrive in the first quarter after being produced in South Korea, where Doosan is based. The models will replace Bobcat-made compact excavators, as well as break new ground in the US for Doosan Infracore.

More sizes are planned, including a 4-tonne model next fall and 1.7- and 1.9-tonne models in 2023. The company鈥檚 6- and 8-tonne excavators will be upgraded next year as well. In addition, an electric compact excavator shown last year as a prototype at ConExpo will be hitting the market in mid-2023, according to Aaron Kleingartner, Doosan product and dealer market manager.

Within two years, the entire Doosan-built excavator lineup in the US will extend from 1.7 to 100 tonne, Kleingartner said.
