Komatsu Sets Its Sights on Cat's D10T

摘要

Komatsu's thorough product-development survey said the D375A-5 crawler dozer's replacement would have to demonstrate production equal to or better than Caterpillar's D10T to take market share from the cross-Peoria rival.rnSo the Dash-6 version of the D375 A was launched with its Komatsu SAA6D170E-5 engine boosted 85 horses to 610 net horsepower - 30 more than the D10T. In fact, Komatsu claims that even with parasitic load at maximum (the SAE standard for measuring net horsepower prescribes an intermediate load level), the D375A-6 still delivers 580 horsepower, which equals the DIOT's SAE net power output.
