Komatsu is in active development of more sustainable solutions to reduce customers’ carbon footprint.
In addition to expanding its longstanding focus on hybrid options, the company is exploring the concept of electrification.
At ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023, Komatsu showcased a variety of electrified machines that are on the verge of coming to market.
The showcase piece was the 20-ton PC210E. With a 451-kWh battery capacity, the excavator is good for up to eight hours of operation.
Watch for an upcoming story on the PC210E at Equipment World.
Other electric products included the PC30E mini excavator, the PC01E micro excavator, and a fully electric prototype of the company's WA70 wheel loader.
“As we step into this space, we're looking at multiple solutions and multiple products,” said Andrew Earing, director of product and technical services at Komatsu. “We're very excited and happy to learn alongside our customers.”
