Jakarta, September 13, 2023 – As a manifestation of its commitment to achieving a carbon-free Indonesia, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) introduced the New 20 Ton Class Electric Excavator product at the Mining Indonesia 2023 exhibition, located at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. This concrete step is UT’s effort to support the Indonesian Government’s target of achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060.
UT is a company and distributor of heavy machinery under the Komatsu brand in Indonesia. Komatsu, as a manufacturer, consistently brings sustainable and environmentally-friendly products. In 2005, Komatsu first introduced the Wired Electric Excavator for the 13-20 ton class. Then, in 2020, they launched the Mini Excavator Battery Electric, and in 2022, Komatsu introduced its first hybrid excavator for the 30-ton class, the HB365-1. This year, Komatsu continues to consistently create innovations and new breakthroughs by introducing the New 20 Ton Class Electric Excavator, which will be tested in Indonesia.
The New 20 Ton Class Electric Excavator offers several advantages, including net zero emissions, safety, and operational comfort that can be used across various sectors. Additionally, this product is supported by Komtrax features and technology, which is a telematics technology for wireless-based monitoring of Komatsu heavy machinery accessible from anywhere and anytime through computers or mobile phones.
The electric excavator operates using electric power for excavation and material movement. Furthermore, this product does not use internal combustion engines like conventional excavators that rely on fossil fuels. The electric power source for the electric excavator is stored in batteries that receive electric power from an external source, such as the National Power Company (PLN) or generators through portable charging tools or stationary charging.
The key component of this product is an electric motor that receives power from the battery to drive the hydraulic main pump. Other hydraulic components control various movements such as the boom, arm, bucket, forward and reverse travel, and swinging (similar to conventional excavators). In terms of maintenance, this product is easier and cheaper to maintain compared to diesel engines because it has fewer moving parts and does not require periodic maintenance like engine filter replacements, oil changes, or injector replacements.
Sara K. Loebis, Corporate Secretary of United Tractors, stated that UT will continuously innovate and actively contribute to minimizing negative environmental impacts and gradually achieving a carbon-free Indonesia. Additionally, UT will continue its efforts to develop and utilize technologies that can reduce carbon emissions, including utilizing electric energy in industrial activities.
“As a company engaged in heavy machinery sales for the industry, UT has a special concern for environmental issues as part of the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Therefore, the presence of the New 20 Ton Class Electric Excavator is a manifestation of the company’s commitment to developing environmentally friendly products,” said Sara K. Loebis.
