The Komatsu PC200-8 Hybrid is an excavator manufactured by Komatsu Limited. It is the world’s first hybrid powered construction equipment.[1] It consumes 25% less fuel than comparable non-hybrid excavators and can consume up to 40% less fuel while carrying out certain functions.[2] It was released on 1 June 2008. It is exclusively available in Japan.[3]
Hybrid system[]
The Komatsu PC200-8 Hybrid uses the Komatsu Hybrid System. The system uses a capacitor bank to store energy generated by the movement of the upper structure of the excavator. The engine then utilises electricity discharged from the capacitor bank when it accelerates.[4]
