Komatsu ’ s 980E-5SE ultra-class electric drive mining truck offers the highest-in-class horsepower available

Redesigned , ergonomic automotive-style cab offers an upgraded driving experience

The economics of surface mining require the highest production at the lowest lifetime cost per ton ( CPT ). By combining outstanding build quality with multiple features designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce downtime , the 4,400-HP Komatsu 980E-5SE electric drive mining truck offers increased speed on grade in deep pit applications . The truck ’ s redesigned ergonomic automotive-style cab works to increase operator comfort and lessen driving fatigue .

Leveraging Komatsu ’ s electric drive truck experience , the 980E-5SE offers the highest-in-class horsepower available on an ultra-class truck . Engineered to promote increased productivity and a reduced carbon footprint , the 980E-5SE ’ s electric drive means fewer mechanical components , less maintenance and potentially reduced life cycle costs .
Quick specs for the 980E-5SE electric mining truck :
• Gross horsepower : 4,400 HP ( 3,281kW ) @ 1,800 rpm
• Operating weight : 1,400,000 lbs . ( 635,029 kg )
• Capacity : 400 st ( 363 mt )
When cycling through big loads , durability is key . The 980E-5SE was developed using advanced computeraided design , finite element analysis and full-scale dynamic testing . Its truck frame is verified to carry a rated payload with the utmost structural reliability .
Cruise and traction control Automotive-style cruise control governing acceleration and deceleration helps operators maintain a constant speed while concentrating on steering and situational awareness . Traction control helps operators stay on task and operate more efficiently , 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 .
Monitor efficiency with payload data To support increased production and optimized payload , Payload Meter IV ( PLM IV ) can help maximize cycle efficiency to reduce the machine ’ s life cycle costs . Standard on Komatsu mining trucks , PLM IV tracks and records key production parameters , including payload weight , empty carry weight , haul cycle time , average speed and much more .
