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.
Compared to the Company’s previous machineries, it optimally controls the engine and transmission to greatly reduce fuel consumption. In addition, improves productivity through the addition of a function to prevent engine-stalling (failure).
Improving safety through the new addition of a rearview camera monitor to check for incoming vehicles and a secondary engine suspension switch. 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.

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.
