The WA380-8 provides Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, a fully automatic engine control system. Without interfering with normal operations, this technology acquires data from various sensors in the vehicle and delivers optimal engine torque for each work phase. It limits torque during less demanding operations and reduces fuel usage without decreasing production.
Large-capacity torque converter with standard lock-up
With its large-capacity torque converter, the completely redesigned Komatsu drive train offers optimum efficiency and an unparalleled rimpull-to-weight ratio. By delivering high rimpull at low speeds, it makes child’s play of heavy jobs like penetration of dense material such as aggregate. This means higher productivity in V-Shape loading, even in confined spaces.
New E-Light mode
The new E-Light mode is switched on by default for low fuel consumption priority. The engine matches power to the current working phase to achieve higher fuel efficiency. For more fuel economy, the electronically controlled hydraulics pumps for the work and steering system prevent wasted hydraulic flow and deliver the exact amount of oil required for all movements of the machine.
