Komatsu’s First Machine Recognized for its Historical Technological Contribution
A unique
mechanical engineering version of UNESCO World Heritage has been established
in Japan. Known as the Mechanical Engineering Heritage program, historically
significant items are listed and certified by The Japan Society of Mechanical
Engineers. To date, only 25 items have been designated as heritage assets contributing
to the development of mechanical engineering in Japan. One of these is the Komatsu
Bulldozer G40, the first bulldozer made by Komatsu in 1943. Komatsu’s unique
technology and originality at the time of development, outstanding quality and
high historic value in terms of technology in addition to ensuring the preservation
of the G40 are key reasons for receiving accreditation. The first machine was
found by chance in 1978 being used in Australia and is currently exhibited at
the Komatsu Techno Center in Japan. It took the tremendous efforts and hard work
of dedicated Komatsu engineers to carry out the machine’s development. |
