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 adopting the evolved 2-motor “electronically controlled HST” and the advanced "Komatsu Smart Loader Logic" cooperative control system that optimally controls the hydraulic system, the traveling system, and engine, this product achieves high levels in both productivity and fuel consumption, as well as significantly reducing fuel consumption.
In addition, securing a good field of view and improving safety with the new addition of a large pillarless ROPS cab to enlarge the lower area of the front glass and the rearview camera monitor (to check for incoming vehicles).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.
