PERFORMANCE FEATURES
KDPF SCR
New Tier 4 Final Engine
The Komatsu SAA6D140E-7 engine is EPA Tier 4 Final
emissions certified and provides exceptional performance,
while reducing fuel consumption. Based on Komatsu
proprietary technologies developed over many years, this
new diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) by KCCV
more than 80%, when compared to Tier 4 interim levels.

Cooled EGR
Technologies Applied to New Engine
Heavy-Duty Aftertreatment System
This new system combines a Komatsu Diesel Particulate
Filter (KDPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The
SCR NOx reduction system injects the correct amount of Advanced Electronic Control System
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) at the proper rate, thereby The electronic control system performs high-speed
decomposing NOx into non-toxic water vapour (H2O) and processing of all signals from sensors installed in the
