 ECOLOGY & ECONOMY

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ENGINE

The Komatsu SAA4D95LE-6 engine is EPA Tier 4

Final and EU Stage 3B emissions certified and
provides exceptional performance while
reducing fuel consumption. Based on
Komatsu proprietary technologies developed
over many years, this new diesel engine
reduces exhaust gas particulate matter (PM)
by more than 90% and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
by more than 15% when compared to Tier 4
Interim levels. Through the in-house
development and production of engines,
electronics, and hydraulic components, Komatsu
has achieved great advancements in technology,
providing high levels of performance and
efficiency in virtually all applications.

Efficient Hydraulic System

The PC78UU-10 uses a Closed-centre Load Sensing System (CLSS) that improves fuel efficiency and provides quick
response to the operator's demands.

The PC78UU-10 also introduces new technology to enhance the engine and hydraulic pump control. This total control
system matches the engine and hydraulics at the most efficient point under any load condition. There have also been
improvements in the main valve and hydraulic circuit to reduce hydraulic loss, resulting in higher efficiency and lower
fuel consumption.

Reduced up to 5% fuel consumption

vs PC88MR-8
Based on typical work pattern collected via KOMTRAX. The fuel
consumption reduction may be less than the above value during
actual work, depending on the contents of the work.
