Introduction of Product Introduction of PC200-8 Hybrid Hydraulic Excavators

A goal has been set to make a contribution to society in challenging global warming, especially to reduce the emissions of CO2, by developing a hybrid system that drives the swing device of a hydraulic excavator by electric drive, to significantly reduce fuel consumption. Reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases are not making satisfactory progress and regulation of the construction industry is also expected to become stricter in the future. Under such circumstance, provisioning of products that promise lower fuel consumption to the customers will win customer satisfaction, leading to activation of the market. This introduction of product explains the outline of the sales of Komatsu’s PC200 hybrid hydraulic excavator series starting this spring aimed at an accomplishment of this goal.
