Sustainable Technology is the focus at Komatsu, Scania and L&T. As part of our initiative to introduce sustainable technologies; all these machines have been designed to run on B20 Biodiesel.

These new models incorporate Komatsu’s cutting-edge technology and have been specially developed to suit tough Indian applications and conditions. The new high performance Hydraulic Excavators have generated  tremendous interest among buyers and have been lauded for introducing highly productive machines.
