Komatsu Displays PC210LCE Electric Excavator at CONEXPO

Komatsu featured its 20-ton PC210LCE electric excavator at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 to help customers reduce their carbon footprint and plan for implementing sustainable solutions through electrification.

First displayed last fall at bauma, the PC210LCE was created for construction businesses that need a high-performance machine. The excavator has 451 kWh of battery capacity and is designed for up to eight hours of operating time. The lithium-ion battery technology was developed by Proterra.

Designed to reduce operator fatigue with less noise, exhaust emissions and zero engine vibration, the PC210LCE is for use in urban areas and indoor environments. The low operating noise levels of the PC210LCE allow for nighttime construction work both indoors and out.

Coming soon to North America, the PC210LCE supports Komatsu's global sustainability targets of 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030 and complete carbon neutrality by 2050.​

At the show, the PC210LCE displayed with Smart Construction Retrofit, a guidance kit that gives operators in the field and managers in the office access to both 2D and 3D design and payload data. Installed by a local Komatsu distributor, this technology upgrade is designed to support grading performance and drive operations.
