The conversion process allows Komatsu machines to run properly in territories where diesel fuel has higher sulphur content than in Europe.
The Komatsu-approved engine modification process will be carried out by authorised Komatsu dealers.
“Innovative design, quality manufacturing and the Komatsu CARE programme mean that Komatsu preowned products are in demand across the world” says Jim Venerus, Komatsu Europe product marketing DGM.
“However, certain EU Stage IIIB engine technologies may not operate at peak performance levels in lesser regulated territories where non-ULSD fuel is used. The Komatsu-approved conversion process allows Komatsu dealers to provide a quick and easy solution to our customers without compromising product performance,” adds Venerus.
The conversion process deregulates the machinery, is permanent, and converted machinery cannot be used in regulated markets.
