In its drive to become carbon neutral by 2050, Komatsu regards the market introduction of this new model as an opportunity to develop a market for electric construction equipment, as soon as possible. Komatsu had been jointly developing this electric model since January 2021 and is now ready to introduce it to the rental market. By using it under various operating conditions and with different power supply environments in regions where the electrified market is expected to be formed in the future, customers will be able to experience its environmental friendliness and safety, while Komatsu will compile feedback, opinions, and knowledge to lead to the formation of the electrified market.

Komatsu has marked FY2023 as the first year for the market introduction of electric construction equipment, and the launch of the PC210LCE-11 model follows the recent introduction of the Komatsu 3-tonne class electric mini excavator. Hydraulic excavators are the most versatile type of construction equipment, with the 20-tonnes class excavators in particular being used for a wide range of jobsites and applications, centering on excavating and loading earth and sand. By launching this model in Europe, Komatsu is working to create an electrified machine market for medium-sized class construction equipment.
