Calling the new loader “versatile” and “useful in virtually any application,” Komatsu has introduced the WA200-8 with improvements to fuel efficiency and operator comfort.
Powered by a 4.46 liter, 126-horsepower Komatsu SAA4D107E-3 Tier 4 Final engine, the WA200-8 can drop fuel consumption by up to 4 percent in V-cycle and in load-and-carry applications. Further aiding in reducing fuel consumption is programmable auto idle shutdown.
The engine is paired with a hydrostatic drivetrain with variable traction control. Placing the WA200-8 into S-mode reduces wheel spin, boosting performance in snow, icy or slippery conditions.
Navistar will cease engine production at its Melrose Park, Illinois, plant by early next year as the truck maker continues that facility’s transformation into a technical center.
The move will bring production of the company’s medium duty 9- and 10- liter engines to an end.
