Hybrid technology applications for construction equipment After a long time of research, this market hybrid excavator PC200-8 is the first construction equipment using hybrid technology. Komatsu Hybrid System to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. While the standard equipment often use hydraulic motors to spin structure above the Komatsu Hybrid System developed special purpose electric motors. Through this new motor accumulated energy is used again. It is fundamental to develop hybrid hydraulic excavators. Compared with the excavator PC200-8 Hybrid technology has decreased an average of 25% of the rate of fuel consumption. Furthermore, in some conditions the customer, the biggest drop is 41% when the superstructure on the go with great frequency. In fact, the hybrid system on hydraulic excavators more efficient cars. As the car moves on the road normally, the drivers often brake pedal to reduce the average speed of 5 - 10 minutes / time. In contrast, the upper structure Less
