Kubota Introduces P1 Hybrid System at CONEXPO
Combining engine and electrical power to reduce CO2 emissions
Las Vegas, NV, USA
March 1, 2023
Kubota is excited to preview the new D1803 P1 Hybrid engine at this year’s CONEXPO trade show.
The engine is a compact, highly robust power source with a belt-less motor generator and a maintenance-free design. The integrated motor generator embedded in the flywheel housing keeps the engine size compact making installation into existing applications simple. With the P1 Hybrid engine, the motor generator only assists for the brief periods in which high output is required. Additionally, the necessary hybrid components are provided by Kubota, so customer development resources can be kept to a minimum.
The D1803 is a turbocharged engine with a turbo after-cooler and DOC only after-treatment. It has an output of 49.6 HP (37.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2700 rpm. The motor generator offers an additional boost of 10kW when needed and utilizes a 48V lithium-ion battery pack with integrated control. Kubota believes that a hybrid system combining engine and electrical power is an effective option for customers in reducing CO2 emissions from industrial engines. Kubota is happy to add this option to its current lineup of hybrid offerings.
At CONEXPO, Kubota will be featuring this newest hybrid option along with many other carbon-reducing solutions. We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming exhibition in Las Vegas!
Make sure to stop by and visit Kubota in the South Hall at booth #S84415 starting March 14.
