Komatsu has launched the 980E-5SE electric drive mining truck for mining operations. This work vehicle delivers 4,400 hp during use and offers increased speed on grade in deep-pit applications.

The truck’s automotive-style cab works to increase operator performance under rugged working conditions. Capable of traveling at a maximum speed of 40 mph, this mega hauler is equipped with a 16-cylinder diesel engine with options for U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final components. The 980E-5SE’s electric drive means fewer mechanical components and reduced maintenance.

General specifications:

Gross horsepower: 4,400 hp (3,281 kW) @ 1,800 rpm

Operating weight: 1,400,000 lbs. (635,029 kg)

Capacity: 400 st (363 mt)

The Komatsu mining truck was developed using advanced computer-aided design, finite element analysis and full-scale dynamic testing. Its truck frame is verified to carry a rated payload with structural reliability.

Cruise and Traction Control

Automotive-style cruise control facilitating acceleration and deceleration helps operators maintain a constant speed while concentrating on steering and situational awareness. Traction control helps operators stay on task, even in slippery conditions. Wheel traction control technology detects and corrects wheel spin or slide events and engages automatically and independently of the service brakes.

Monitoring Payload Data

The Payload Meter IV (PLM IV) supports production and payload handling. Standard on Komatsu mining trucks, PLM IV tracks and records production parameters, including payload weight, empty carry weight, haul cycle time, average speed and more.
