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.
The show has Komatsu, Scania and L&T displaying 18 machines and eight special attachments, making it one of the most comprehensive displays of construction, earthmoving and road machinery. Additionally, genuine spares, lubes, sand plants, aggregate crushing plants and special attachments from Movax, Rammer, Kemroc, Komatsu and L&T were showcased. Under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Initiative, a new range of CEV-IV emission compliant road machinery manufactured by L&T has also been made a part of the display. Komatsu machines are digitalised and equipped with KOMTRAX tracking systems that enable users to monitor equipment health and increase efficiency. The stall has an audio-visual room for customers to experience the depth of Komtrax reports and understand its benefits.
The senior management had led the participation at the Excon show, namely, Y Fujii, Managing Director, KIPL; Johan Schlyter, Managing Director, Scania CV India; and Arvind K Garg, Executive Vice-President & Head, Construction & Mining Machinery, L&T.

As part of the gender inclusiveness program, L&T has trained and deployed women at L&T workshops, where they support machines operated by our customers and have broken into a male-dominated bastion.
