stefcl100 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I came across a video on the Makita NZ facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/makitanewzealand/videos/200625024860234 Don't expect to learn a lot from it, it just announces a XGT x2 (80 volt) system. There is no information about this line, we can only imagine that it will be aimed at the larger demanding tools (mowers / backpack blowers). While looking for more information, I found a couple of new tools on the japanese website: PDC1200 - A 1200Wh backpack battery compatible with both XGT / LXT x2 platforms. MUX01GZ - a XGT power head with 3 speed settings. Despite rumors about a new 50-60 volt system, It seems that XGT could finally be Makita's next main platform for OPE... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 That is interesting. Another post on this forum they talked about Makita announcing they are cutting off gas products. At least it sounds like they have something to replace it. I was looking around and couldn't find out their next step, so this is good to see. Thanks for sharing. I am still wondering if cutting gas is a good idea. Seems like it would be better to have gas still around while they introduce this new 40V-80V line.
