Moog launches construction venture focused on
accelerating electrification & automation
Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) announced today that the
company is providing Doosan Bobcat with its intelligent machine
electrification system to help Bobcat design and build the world’s
first all-electric compact track loader: the award-winning Bobcat
T7X, which does not use hydraulic parts or oil. The T7X is a
zero-emission and all-electric machine with the power and
performance of a diesel hydraulic machine but without the noise,
emissions, and hydraulic leaks.

Moog’s intelligent machine electrification system consists of
Moog’s integrated software framework, a sophisticated electric
machine controller, lift and tilt electric cylinders, electric
traction motors, and power electronics. With the help of Moog’s
system, the T7X is a major step forward for the productivity,
safety, and sustainability of construction machinery.
“Bobcat had a vision for an all-electric machine,” said Joe
Baldi, director of strategy & partnerships for Moog. “Our
conversation began with Moog’s all-electric actuators, but
ultimately our talks led to the intelligent machine electrification
system. Working in partnership with Bobcat, we were able to bring
that all-electric vision to life in six months.”
Moog has a long history of converting hydraulic systems to
electric in industries including aerospace, defense, and industrial
machinery as well as in applications such as simulators for air,
sea, and land vehicles. Leveraging this expertise, Moog’s
intelligent machine electrification system helps the T7X control
the motion of the tracks, as well as lift and tilt functions with
industry-leading efficiency to enable a powerful zero-emission
machine with significantly increased run time and reduced
maintenance costs.
“To describe our contribution to the T7X in anatomical terms,”
added Baldi, “we supplied the part of the brain that controls
motion; the nervous system helping to intelligently coordinate
actions, power, and sensor information; and the muscles, which are
the all-electric actuators and motors.”
Production-ready solution
On January 4, 2022, in Las Vegas at CES 2022, Doosan Bobcat
announced that Sunbelt Rentals will invest in a fleet of the
all-electric T7X compact track loaders. The all-electric machines
will be co-branded by Bobcat and Sunbelt and made available in
2022.
Moog construction
Moog Inc. has launched a new venture called Moog construction.
“Our focus is accelerating electrification, automation, and
connectivity by enabling the world’s safest, most sustainable, and
most productive machines,” said Joe Alfieri, vice president and
general manager for Moog construction.
Moog construction is bringing the intelligent machine
electrification system to market for customers looking to create
zero-emission, connected, and more automated machines.
By seamlessly integrating multiple subsystems including power
management, motion control, connectivity, and automation, Moog
enables customers to develop their own differentiated offerings and
bring their vision for next-generation machines to life, while
decreasing development costs and the time to bring products to
market.
“Our vision is to be the leading provider of electrification and
automation solutions,” said John Scannell, chairman and CEO of Moog
Inc. “This effort brings differentiated technology that will enable
the construction industry to move to a more productive, safe, and
sustainable future. Moog’s 70 years of experience supporting
customers around the world means that we can draw on our existing
infrastructure to manufacture, service, and support customers at
scale.”
The intelligent machine electrification system is designed to be
connected and automation ready. Leveraging Moog’s deep expertise,
the system has the sensing and control capabilities needed for
automation while the integrated software framework comes with
built-in tools to coordinate multiple axes of motion and precisely
control torque, velocity, position, and force. This, paired with
the system’s connectivity, enables Moog construction customers to
develop and deploy valuable automation functionality via software
updates more easily and continuously.
