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.
A self-propelled resource recycling machine, used mainly for applications including improvements of soil generated through construction and ground improvement, enabling the work capabilities to produce high-quality soil efficiently and to recycle within the work sites.
The fuel consumption is reduced by 10% compared to our conventional equipment, by maximizing the mechanical potential through the use of an advanced engine, optimized control of the hydraulic system, reducing losses in the main valve and hydraulic circuit, and adopting a highly efficient large-capacity hydraulic pump.
The mixers that are compatible with a wide range of soil types, the raw material soil hoppers and feeders to reliably supply a fixed amount, and the solidifier hoppers and feeders with excellent additive performance are all inherited from the previous models, while the adoption of the secondary engine stop switch and fall prevention handrails further improve the safety. A high-definition 7-inch LCD monitor and KOMTRAX (Komatsu Machine Operation Tracking System) are newly installed as standard features, and the amount of remaining AdBlue®(*1) required for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system can be confirmed, in addition to the amount of work and the amount of solidifiers used.

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.
