Komatsu Previews the 930E-5 Mining Haul Truck

Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, previewed the 930E-5 haul truck at MINExpo today. Scheduled for availability in the second half of 2017, the 930E-5 joins a 930 line that is the world's most popular for ultra-class mining trucks, with more than 1900 sold worldwide. With a 2,700 HP, SSDA16V160-4, Tier 4 Final engine, owners can expect up to five percent less full consumed and a 320-ton payload. The 930E-5 builds on a long history of success with electric drive trucks, and reinforces Komatsu's position as a global leader in the ultra-class mining truck market. The 930E-5 is a good match in large-scale mining applications with big bucket shovels (49-55 yd3) – such as Komatsu's PC7000 and PC8000, loading out in six or five passes, respectively, depending on bucket size and material density. Examples of 930-5 features designed to improve truck performance and lower cost per ton include: > A powerful, 16 cylinder, Komatsu SSDA18V160-4, Tier 4 Final engine, utilizing DEF and SCR technology instead of mufflers for improved noise reduction. > Commonality between Tier 2 and Tier 4 engines, keeping reliability high and maintenance costs low. > Integration of DEF tank reservoir and delivery lines, plus level and quality sensors. - See more at: http://www.whyps.com/News/New-projects/komatsu-previews-the-930e/52308#sthash.wlufkZl0.dpuf
