KOMATSU Europe is extending its electric mini-excavator range with the new PC26E-6.
The move has been described as marking a key milestone in the manufacturer’s electrification roadmap.
The electric mini-excavator range comprises the PC20E, PC26E and PC33E-6. The models are built for emissions-sensitive environments that deliver ‘diesel-equivalent performance’ without exhaust emissions and with reduced noise and vibration.
Emanuele Viel, group manager product marketing at Komatsu Europe, said, “As demand for electric compact machinery continues to rise, particularly in urban, indoor and environmentally sensitive environments, Komatsu is proud to unveil the third wave of its electric machines. Offering solutions that can be charged from a standard electricity supply without the need for heavy or complex infrastructure, the PC26E is designed for all environments, offering versatility rather than a niche solution.
“Crucially, the third wave of machines have been engineered to offer fast charging times, smooth performance and a high-grade specification to ensure it fits seamlessly into existing operations.”
Komatsu revealed it is offering extended ‘E-support’, including a five-year warranty on new electric components. The firm is working towards a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030.
