Polaris celebrates first Brutus off the line in Iowa

To celebrate the launch of the first Bobcat and Polaris co-developed commercial utility vehicles, Bobcat executives Richard Goldsbury, Mike Ballweber, Chuck Krause and Brad Claus joined Polaris executives Bennett Morgan, David Longren and Marc Tullemans at Polaris’ assembly plant in Milford, Iowa, to see the first vehicles roll off the assembly line.

The vehicles, branded as Bobcat 3600 and 3650, and Polaris BRUTUS models, are the outcome of a strategic alliance formed in 2009 between the two companies. The celebration concluded with lunch for the teams responsible for developing and assembling the new vehicles.
