MEETING EMISSION CONTROL REGULATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MINING EQUIPMENT “Diesel engines are an important component of construction and mining equip- ment as they significantly affect the differentiation of equipment performance. Komatsu, equipped with technological expertise in off-road, industrial-use engines, has built on its leading-edge RD structure and a global sourcing net- work through a strategic alliance with Cummins Inc. of the United States, which has superb technologies for on-road truck engines. Our in-house development and production of diesel engines give us a decisive advantage in developing the best-matched engines for our earthmoving equipment, which is ahead of ever- demanding emission control regulations around the world. We will continue to capitalize on this advantage fully through technological innovation to reduce exhaust emissions for future regulations as our top priority in engine develop- ment. By providing our customers worldwide with products that both reduce environmental impact and improve product efficiency, we are working to con- tribute to conservation of the earth’s environment.” Dr. Kunihiko Komiyama, Director and Senior Executive Officer, President of the Development Division and President of the Engines Hydraulics Business Division Emission Control Regulations for Diesel Engines Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines offer superior characteristics, such as higher thermal efficiency and a smaller amount of carbon dioxides (CO2) emissions, known as a cause of the greenhouse effect on the earth, due to a lower consumption of fuel. Meanwhile, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM)
