Doosan CX Concept Excavator

The CX excavator is Doosan Infracore’s vision of the future with a number of technological features to promote safety, usability and efficiency. At the heart of the body is a hybrid power system reducing emissions, fuel costs and noise. The cabin can be extended forward to provide improved visibility for the driver while the rear counterweight extends to maintain stability and increase lifting performance.

Within the cabin, all the controls are integrated into the seat with Hyper-emotional digital technology and a haptic control panel displaying all the vital information on a transparent screen, allowing the operator to maintain focus on the surroundings. The intelligent glazing changes colour and transparency depending on the exterior weather conditions while various sensors and cameras around the body allow a 360 degree view for the operator.

The undercarriage design incorporates four swing arms to which an independent tracked assembly is attached using an articulating joint to provide greater manoeuvrability while offering great stability on the most uneven ground. Intelligent independent suspension provides a smooth ride for the operator while reducing vibration.

A 1:40th scale model of the CX concept excavator has been produced to highlight the various technological and design features. With functional track assemblies, extending cabin and counterweight and a fully decorated cabin interior, the model shows off the interesting design concepts well, finished in a really striking metallic silver paint job with orange markings.
