• The electric mini excavator range offers diesel-equivalent performance with zero exhaust emissions and reduced noise.
• The PC26E-6 supports fast charging from standard electrical supplies, enabling versatile use without complex infrastructure.
• Komatsu provides extended customer support including a five-year warranty on electric components.
• The company aims to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 through a mix of electric, hybrid, and efficient diesel products.

Manufacturing specialist, Komatsu Europe, has announced the completion of its third wave of electric mini excavator as it finalises the introduction of the PC26E-6 to the European market.

A key milestone in the company’s electrification roadmap, the mini excavator range was created to respond to pressure for low and zero-emission operations. These new vehicles remove barriers to electric adoption, including charging infrastructure and performance.

The range comprises the PC20E, PC26E and PC33E-6 – bespoke machinery built for emissions-sensitive environments that deliver diesel-equivalent performance without exhaust emissions and with reduced noise and vibration.

Emanuele Viel, Group Manager Product Marketing at Komatsu Europe, said: “As demand for electric compact machinery continues to rise, particularly in urban, indoor and environmentally sensitive environments, Komatsu is proud to unveil the third wave of its electric machines.”

Offering solutions that can be charged from a standard electricity supply without the need for heavy or complex infrastructure, the PC26E is designed for all environments, offering versatility rather than a niche solution. 

“Crucially, the third wave of machines have been engineered to offer fast charging times, smooth performance and a high-grade specification to ensure it fits seamlessly into existing operations.”

To reinforce its commitment to customers purchasing from the range, Komatsu is offering extended “E-support”, including a five-year warranty on new electric components.

Komatsu Europe continues to work towards a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 as it offers a combination of electric, hybrid and highly efficient diesel products.
