MiningNews.net + Komatsu cuts emissions
ADVANCED low-emission engines are the central feature of new generation articulated dump trucks introduced to the market by Komatsu Australia.
The 27-tonne HM300-2 is powered by Komatsu's low-emission, Tier 3-compliant SAA6D125E-5 cooled EGR engine, rated at 254kW, while the HM400-2 is powered by the Tier 3-compliant SAA6D140E-5 rated at 337kW."Komatsu's ecot3 (ecology and economy technology 3) approach combines advanced electronic control, engine, transmission and hydraulic technology," said Komatsu Australia national business manager quarries Charles Wheeldon.He said the new ecot3 technology engines delivered significantly lower emissions, improved fuel consumption and increased power and torque."Both trucks have more power, giving better performance in any combination of conditions, they have the highest braking capacity of any truck in their class, and are more comfortable than any other ADT on the market," he said.Dual-mode engine power settings, combined with automatic transmission with automatic control of gear-shifting, are said to further lower fuel consumption.Komatsu Australia is the Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonian distributor for Komatsu construction, utility and mining equipment.
