Hybrid focus for Komatsu
26 September 2011
Komatsu's 800 m2 stand at BICES will include a number of new machines, but there will be a particular focus on the company's growing range of hybrid excavators.
Its original 21 tonne HB215LC-1 has now been joined by the lighter HB205-1, which weighs in closer to the 20 tonne mark. Continuing in this theme of low fuel consumption, BICES will also be the first chance to see one of the smallest machines Komatsu markets in China, the 6 tonne class PC60-8 compact excavator.
Komatsu says its key focus at the show will be the fuel savings that can be achieved with the HB205-1, compared to other 20 tonne excavators.
Other machines on display will include the 36 tonne class PC360-7 excavator and 24 tonne class PC240-8. Komatsu's BICES stand will also feature a WA380-6 wheeled loader configured for handling coal and a D65EX-16 dozer.
