Komatsu Introduces the World's First Hydraulic Excavator: Hybrid Evolution Plan for Construction Equipment

Komatsu Ltd. (President & CEO: Kunio Noji) announced today that the Company is going to launch sales of the PC200-8 Hybrid excavator, the world's first hybrid construction equipment. (*1)
The PC200-8 Hybrid is powered by the Komatsu Hybrid System which uses a newly developed electric motor which turns the upper structure, power generation motor, capacitor and diesel engine. Compared with the standard PC200-8 hydraulic excavator, the hybrid model achieves about 25% reduction of fuel consumption. (*2)
Earlier in May 2007, Komatsu launched the world's first hybrid electric forklift trucks on the market. We are introducing this hybrid excavator as it is our flagship construction equipment.
As a leading company of the construction equipment manufacturing industry, we are determined to meet the needs of the time by practically proposing innovative equipment designed to reduce environmental impact, including CO2 reduction.

1. Fuel Economy

Compared to the standard PC200-8, we have achieved an average of 25% reduction in fuel consumption. (*3) Furthermore, in the operation tests by customers, we have confirmed the maximum reduction of 41% at a jobsite where the machine's upper structure turns more frequently.

* Notes
1. Based on our research on seven major products (crawler-type hydraulic excavator, wheel-type hydraulic excavator, wheel loader, bulldozer, rigid-type dump truck, articulated dump truck and motor grader as of May 13, 2008.
2. This figure varies depending on the nature of work.
3. Computed according to our internal-use standard concerning average ways of using construction equipment.

2. Outline of the Komatsu Hybrid System

Our proprietary Komatsu Hybrid System converts energy generated when the upper structure reduces its speed while turning, stores the energy in the capacitor, and uses it to assist the power of the engine via the power generation motor when the engine accelerates.

All components of the Komatsu Hybrid System are made in-house , ensuring high reliability and durability.(*4)

* Note 4.Excluding capacitor cells.

3. Major Characteristics of the PC200-8 Hybrid when Compared to Standard Construction Equipment and Hybrid Cars

1) Comparison with Standard Construction Equipment
While standard equipment normally uses a hydraulic motor to turn the upper structure, for this movement, Komatsu has newly developed an electric motor for the Hybrid. By using this electric motor which collects energy generated when the upper structure's turns slow down, we have achieved a hybrid excavator.
While standard construction equipment uses only diesel engines for power, our new hybrid excavator utilizes regenerated energy to assist the engine when it is accelerating, enabling the use of the engine in a low revolution zone with high-efficiency combustion. In addition, while the engine runs idle, our hybrid excavator keeps the revolution at a super low level, achieving impressive reductions in fuel consumption.

2) Comparison with Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars require a large amount of electric energy when they start moving and accelerating, then they can run with relatively stable engine revolution. By comparison, construction equipment has to accommodate dynamic and frequent fluctuations of the engine revolution, for example, for excavation work. To assist the engine for such fluctuations, the PC200-8 Hybrid is mounted with a capacitor.
Automotive batteries work on the principle of chemical reactions, thus it takes time for them to discharge electricity, lacking sufficient support when applied to construction equipment. Meanwhile, capacitors can instantaneously and efficiently collect, store and discharge electricity.

Komatsu Introduces its Parallel Link Undercarriage System on Mid-Size Dozers

Rolling Meadows, IL, May 19, 2009 — Komatsu America Corp. introduced the new Parallel Link Undercarriage System (PLUS) on its D51EX/PX-22, D61EX/PX-15 and D65EX/PX/WX-15 crawler dozers. Komatsu’s revolutionary PLUS undercarriage can significantly increase wear life, reduce machine downtime and lower repair and maintenance costs.
With PLUS, undercarriage wear is more balanced across all components. Bushings will no longer wear faster than the rails. The system is designed to wear evenly so that the machine provides close to 100% usage of undercarriage components, lowering undercarriage maintenance costs by up to 40%.
Other advantages of PLUS include no maintenance between track changes other than track tension adjustments and no more bushing turns. The PLUS undercarriage is suitable for all applications including high impact applications and applications where the AR (abrasion resistant bushing) track assembly was previously required. Should service be required, the master links allows quick access to undercarriage components. PLUS also reduces noise heard by the operator, improving operator comfort.

PLUS’s strutted link provides a solid base for the box section type track and a taller, hardened link height provides longer wear. Because individual links can be replaced in the field, down time is minimized. Segmented sprockets are designed to shed material which minimizes packing. Carrier rollers have a larger diameter to increase their wear life, while track rollers with larger flanges and track roller guards that contact the link instead of the pins help maintain track alignment.
Building on Komatsu’s already robust track frame design, PLUS can be interchanged with a conventional undercarriage which makes retrofitting an existing machine simple and fast. Machines equipped with PLUS have undercarriage replacement options which include using the conventional undercarriage or using PLUS.
Komatsu America Corp. is a U.S. subsidiary of Komatsu Ltd. which is the world’s second largest manufacturer and supplier of construction, mining and compact construction equipment. Komatsu America also serves forklift and forestry markets. Through its distributor network, Komatsu offers a state-of-the-art parts and service program to support the equipment.

Komatsu Introduces Hybrid HB215LC-1 Hydraulic Excavator

Komatsu America Corp has introduced the Hybrid HB215LC-1 hydraulic excavator into the North American market. Now in its second generation, the HB215LC-1 builds on the first generation Komatsu hybrid excavator.
The HB215LC-1 is powered by the Komatsu hybrid system, which includes Komatsu’s electric swing motor, power generator motor, capacitor and a 141 hp (104 kW) diesel engine. Komatsu developed its hybrid system to work on the principle of swing energy regeneration and energy storage using the Komatsu ultra capacitor system. Komatsu’s ultra capacitors provide fast energy storage and instantaneous power transmission.
The kinetic energy generated during the swing-braking phase is converted to electricity, which is sent through an inverter and then captured by the ultra capacitor. This captured energy is then discharged very quickly for upper structure rotation and to assist the engine as commanded by the hybrid controller when accelerating under workload conditions.
The HB215LC-1 has an operating weight of 47,530 lbs. (21,559 kg) and a bucket capacity of 1.57 cu. yd. (1.2 cu m). Komatsu’s second-generation hybrid excavator has been designed for even easier serviceability. The HB215LC-1 has an additional service valve for use with hydraulic attachments and a pattern change valve as standard equipment. Also, the hybrid power train components are backed by a 5 year/7,000 hour warranty.
The HB215LC-1 saves an average of 25 percent fuel with an equivalent reduction in CO2 emissions as compared to the standard excavator model.

The new Hybrid HB215LC-1 offers power and efficiency, yet reduces environmental impact, according to the manufacturer.
The HB215LC-1 comes standard with the Komtrax technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. The Komtrax fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.
