Komatsu’s 20-ton PC210LCE electric excavator, soon to be featured at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, has been designed with the aim of helping customers reduce their carbon footprint and plan for implementing sustainable solutions through electrification.

First displayed last year at bauma 2022, the PC210LCE was created for businesses that need a high-performance machine while cutting fuel costs. Featuring lithium-ion battery technology developed by Proterra, the excavator has 451kWh of battery capacity, designed for up to eight hours of operating time.

Designed to reduce operator fatigue with less noise, exhaust emissions and zero engine vibration, the PC210LCE is ideal for use in urban areas and indoor environments. The low operating noise levels of the PC210LCE can allow for night-time site work both indoors and out.

The PC210LCE supports the company’s global sustainability targets of 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and complete carbon neutrality by 2050. The company is committed to helping customers manage energy transitions and increase efficiencies to help reduce fuel burn and emissions.

At the show, the PC210LCE will be displayed with Smart Construction Retrofit, an affordable guidance kit that gives operators in the field and managers in the office access to both 2D and 3D design and payload data to help drive accuracy, control load volumes and improve operations. Easily installed by a local Komatsu distributor, this technology upgrade is designed to improve grading performance and help drive productivity and profitability.

With the right products, latest technologies, actionable data and dealer support, Komatsu and its customers can create value together.
