Only 50 of these exclusive Premiere Launch Edition machines will be produced for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) markets. 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 will be available for the top-of-the-range models of the 1-2 tonne range: the E19 and the E20z. Only 25 units of each will be produced. The first deliveries of both the regular and Premiere Launch Edition machines will begin in September.

“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,” said Miroslav Konas, product line manager for Doosan Bobcat EMEA.

“The Premiere Launch Edition is a strong conversation starter and sales tool and gives dealers an opportunity to offer customers a truly unique, 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.
