In Komatsuʼs unique hybrid system, the electric
swing motor/generator captures and regenerates
energy as the upper structure slows down and
converts it into electric energy. The regenerated
energy is stored in the capacitor
and used by the generator/motor to
assist the engine when it needs to
accelerate. Thus, the hybrid
system reduces fuel consumption
significantly. Most components of
the system are developed and
manufactured by Komatsu
