The Lowest Cost of Ownership Awards are the industry’s only accolade of their kind, based on empirical data regarding the long-term cost of heavy and compact equipment. Nominees were recognised within 15 different categories of machine that exhibit the lowest cost of ownership over a five year span.
Total cost of ownership is one of the most important aspects that buyers take into account when they purchase equipment and the award won by the DX300LC-5 shows why Doosan equipment is always rated highly for great performance and value-for-money. The award is a further illustration of why the South Korean manufacturer is one of the world’s top construction equipment manufacturers.
Many of the reasons behind the DX300LC-5 winning the Excavators Crawler Medium Award are evident in the greatly improved performance it offers compared to the previous ‘LC-3’ Stage IIIB model.
The DX300LC-5 is powered by the Doosan DL08 6-cylinder diesel engine, with an output of 202kW of power at 1800 rpm, providing a huge 27% increase in engine power and a massive 30% boost in torque over the LC-3 model. The engine meets Stage IV emission regulations without the need of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), through the use of cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) after-treatment technologies.
