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.
Complies with the standards of the 2014 Non-Road Regulations.
Significantly reduced NOx and PM emission and equipped with a new engine.
The FH series features the hydraulically-driven transmission called "Electronic Control HST (Hydro-Static Transmission)" and the hydraulic system that efficiently uses engine output without waste called "Variable Pump CLSS (Closed-center Load Sensing System)." In addition, by adopting a control system that enables highly sophisticated control of such features, fuel consumption during high-load work is reduced.
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.
