The machine, from Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe, is a Japanese version, but gives an idea of what can be expected from the latest addition to the product range.

KCME says it is targeting outstanding fuel consumption with the Generation 10 base model, with savings of 15% compared with a conventional energy-efficient Generation 10 model.

The Kobelco machine’s design incorporates battery power, and the company claims that the battery can retain a greater volume of energy for longer to support higher engine output and improved fuel consumption, without compromising on the machine’s digging performance capabilities.

“Additional benefits of the Kobelco hybrid hydraulic excavator technology include its ability to even out loading on the engine, which in turn saves excess energy from light loads to assist when needed for a heavy load,” says the company.

“The intelligent machine recovers energy from swing deceleration and stores it for maximum performance and operator support.”

    Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) is evaluating demand for its ZH200 Hybrid excavator in Europe. The 20 tonne excavator, which is already sold in Japan, uses a hydraulic/electric swing motor to generate electrical power under braking, which is stored in a capacitor alongside the machine’s cooling pack. The electrical power is used to boost slew speed and also feeds a secondary hydraulic motor, to assist the diesel engine when there is a demand for hydraulic power.
