Doosan states that it sees ‘Green Energy Technologies’ as a platform for strong growth in the future. At Intermat 2012, Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment will launch several new products meeting the requirements of the latest EU emissions legislation. As well as meeting the new regulations, these new generation Doosan machines offer many features to increase productivity while reducing fuel consumption.

The main focus of Doosan Infracore (DI) in the green energy technology field is to develop the optimum intelligent excavator system for maximising operational efficiency. Hybrid excavators, equipped with a diesel engine and a device to store electricity to help reduce CO₂ emissions and improve fuel efficiency, are now under development. In addition, Doosan Infracore statest that its commitment to ‘Green Energy Technologies’ will continue with the development of a concept excavator known as CX, which is designed to be environmentally friendly and economically efficient. Also being developed by Doosan Infracore are unmanned robot excavators that combine ‘i-Hand’ technology and an intelligent excavator system. The key to developing i-Hand technology is the ‘Master-Slave’ excavator control system, whereby an operator wears an electronic sensor detection device to manipulate the excavator remotely by moving their hands and arms. The first-stage model for this system, the first of its kind in the
world, was developed in 2007.
