2010
As use of ICT for construction equipment became more common, things like crewless dump trucks, IT execution, and KOMTRAX were further developed. Hybrid equipment that decreased both fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission was introduced and marked a new generation of construction machines.
It is equipped with the new generation engine which meets emission regulation in Japan, North America and Europe, Etc. of Emissions From Non-road Special Motor Vehicles.
By use the two-motor electronic control Hydro-Static Transmission and the advanced cooperative control system "Komatsu Smart Loader Logic" that optimally controls the hydraulic system, traveling system, and engine, the product achieves high levels of both productivity and fuel consumption, reducing fuel consumption significantly.Furthermore, install Komatsu’s highly reputed electronically-controlled HST.
The machine monitors are now outfitted with clear and easy-to-read, high-definition 7-inch LCD monitors, and displaying fuel consumption rates and guidelines during operation to provide assistance in energy-saving operations.

Wheel loader
It was 1949 when the first wheel loader was manufactured in Japan, however, it was not until mid 1960's when Komatsu entered the wheel loader market aligning with International Harvester. From JH series in the beginning, to the 500 series, to Komatsu's original WA series, our wheel loaders have met the needs of construction sites by scaling up, coping with the environment and adopting advanced technology such as mechatronics and IT.
