Through the Yanmar Green Challenge 2050, Yanmar will achieve its goal of zero environmental impact goal, offering a range of solutions to customers.
The eFuzion concept, primarily developed by Yanmar’s robotics research team, is a working demonstration of a precision machine with a robot arm that shows the possibilities of autonomous construction machinery of the future.
The first excavator in the 8t class to be equipped with an independent 2-pump load-sensing hydraulic system that realizes 20% fuel efficiency without sacrificing power.
With beginnings in Osaka, Japan in 1912, Yanmar was the first ever to succeed in making a compact diesel engine of a practical size in 1933.
