Do more, without using more.
Engineered for the toughest mining environments, the Komatsu PC950 sets a new benchmark in performance and fuel efficiency. With advanced technologies, it enables mining operators to significantly boost productivity while cutting fuel consumption.
This system separates the swing and work hydraulic circuits, reducing pressure losses. The result: smoother, faster, and more precise movements, all while lowering energy use.
During swing braking, the system recovers energy and redirects it to support the engine. This smart regeneration reduces fuel consumption, minimizes engine wear, and extends component life.
