KOMATSU has expanded its electric product range with the new PC20E-6 mini-excavator.
The manufacturer described the model as ‘ideal’ for both traditional job sites and noise-sensitive or indoor applications where zero emissions are required.
The 11.8 kW battery-powered machine boasts 23.2 kWh battery capacity and an operating weight of 2,110kg. The machine has a drive train developed by Komatsu in Europe and comes with Komatsu’s ‘E-Support’ customer programme.
Developed for owners of Komatsu electric mini-excavators, the programme consists of three parts: factory-scheduled, free maintenance by a Komatsu-trained technician using genuine Komatsu parts; three years or 2,000 hours warranty for the machine; and five-year or 10,000-hour parts warranty for components of the electric driveline.
Emanuele Viel, group manager utility at Komatsu Europe, said, “The Komatsu E-Support customer programme is included free of charge with every market-ready electric mini-excavator and offers exclusive machine support.”
Komatsu added that numerous data-driven findings have been incorporated into the development of the machine. The Komatsu fleet management system Komtrax was used to analyse 40,000 working days of mini-excavators of a comparable size.
Depending on operating mode, the PC20E-6 offers capacity for around 3:20 hours (operating mode P), 3:40 hours (operating mode E0) or 4:00 hours (operating mode E1).
Thanks to various charging solutions, the machine can also be recharged flexibly. The PC20E-6 has a system voltage of 77V. An on-board charging option for 230V and 3kW charging power compatible with various plug adapters is offered as standard, as well as the option of an external DC quick charger for 400V and 12kW charging power (from October 2025).
Each machine is supplied with a registration key and three operator keys. One machine can register up to 255 operator keys, while an operator key can be stored for an unlimited number of machines across all models.
