Powerful and environmentally friendly

Komatsu EU Stage V
The Komatsu EU Stage V engine is productive,
dependable and efficient. With ultra-low emissions,
it provides a lower environmental impact and a
superior performance to help reduce operating
costs and lets the operator work in complete
peace of mind.

Heavy-duty aftertreatment AdBlue® mixing tube

KDPF
The aftertreatment system combines a Komatsu
Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) and Selective
Clean exhaust
Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The SCR injects the
correct amount of AdBlue® into the system at the
proper rate to break down NOx into water (H2O)
and non-toxic nitrogen gas (N2). NOx emissions are
reduced by 80% vs. EU Stage IIIB engines.
Ammonia oxidation

Selective reduction

SCR KCCV High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR)

To achieve complete fuel burn and lower exhaust emissions,
the heavy-duty High-Pressure Common Rail fuel injection
system is computer controlled to deliver a precise quantity
of pressurised fuel into the redesigned engine combustion
VGT
chamber by multiple injections.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

Cooled EGR is a technology well-proven in current Komatsu
engines. The increased capacity of the EGR cooler now ensures
very low NOx emissions and a better engine performance.

KDPF Komatsu Closed Crankcase Ventilation (KCCV)

Crankcase emissions (blow-by gas) are passed through a
CCV filter. The oil mist trapped in the filter is returned back to
the crankcase while the filtered gas is returned to the air intake.
Cooled
EGR
Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT)
The VGT provides optimal airflow to the engine combustion
chamber under all speed and load conditions. Exhaust gas is
cleaner, fuel economy is improved while machine power and
performance are maintained.

* Load is limited by hydraulic capacity rather than tipping. Ratings are based on SAE Standard No. J1097. Rated loads do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lift
capacity or 75% of tipping load. Lifting capacity stated is based on lifting with bare arm. When lifting with additional equipment installed to the arm,
please subtract the weight of all additional equipment from the values stated.
