Description
Komatsu HB215LC‑1 Hybrid Excavator
Komatsu HB215LC-1 HYBRID is a market-leading hybrid hydraulic excavator featuring Komatsu’s unique swing-regeneration system. Ideal for truck loading, trenching, and repetitive lift-swing-drop cycles, it delivers up to 33 % increased fuel efficiency over conventional models—while maintaining robust power and low emissions.
Innovative Hybrid System
Energy is captured via an electric swing motor/generator during braking and stored in ultra-capacitors. That stored power is then discharged to assist engine acceleration—reducing fuel consumption and enhancing swing speed and responsiveness.
Hybrid components are designed in-house by Komatsu and backed by a 5‑year or 7,000‑hour warranty.
