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.
Compliant with the 2011 Standards for Large and Small Special Vehicles, Etc. of Emissions From Non-road Special Motor Vehicles. The FH series features its HST (Hydro-Static Transmission) along with the CLSS (Closed-center Load Sensing System) that efficiently utilizes engine output, in addition to adopting a control system that enables sophisticated controls to reduce fuel consumption during high work loads.
Comes equipped with the “KOMTRAX” to assess the operation conditions of the vehicle. A clear and easy-to-see full color multi-monitor is outfitted for this vehicle, displaying eco-gauges to provide support for energy-saving operation.
Maximum loading mass: 4000kg (FH40-2)
Other Equipment
There were other construction machines built by Komatsu over the years. We can see how the various designs mirrored different eras if we look at them set against the flow of history.
