In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, Kubota is taking significant strides towards sustainability. As the world grapples with pressing environmental issues, Kubota is committed to building a carbon-neutral society through innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies.
Expanding possibilities with carbon-free fuels
Kubota’s sustainability commitment goes beyond hydrogen, embracing carbon-free fuels as a key solution. In Europe, all Kubota diesel engines have secured approval for the use of paraffin-based fuels, meeting EN15940 standards. This eco-friendly initiative permits the utilization of gas-to-liquid (GTL) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuels, resulting in an impressive up to 90% reduction in CO2 emissions without necessitating engine modifications. Excitingly, Kubota extended this approval for HVO use in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards sustainability.
Hybrid solutions for greater fuel efficiency
At the forefront of hybrid technology, Kubota introduced the D1803 P1 Hybrid engine earlier this year – a compact and robust solution featuring an integrated motor generator. This engine strategically deploys the electric motor during high-output demands, effectively reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact.
The innovation continues with the D1105 P2 Hybrid engine, offering seamless transitions between diesel engine and electric motor drive. This not only enhances fuel efficiency but also addresses concerns related to emissions and noise in specific operational environments. Additionally, the P0 V3307 Micro-Hybrid Engine stands out with its simple design, incorporating a DC converter, a lithium-ion battery, and a motor generator – a testament to Kubota’s dedication in providing diverse power solutions.
A sustainable vision from Kubota
Beyond technological advancements, Kubota’s commitment to sustainability encompasses a broader vision. Recognizing the interconnectedness of food, water and the environment, Kubota views them as integral components of a single unit. The company’s sustainability style centers around creating balance in these vital areas, utilizing technology and solutions for proper circulation, contributing to the construction of a sustainable society.
“For Earth, For Life” – an ongoing commitment
Kubota’s responsibility towards the planet’s health transcends momentary concerns; it’s an enduring commitment encapsulated in the phrase “For Earth, For Life.” This commitment permeates every aspect of Kubota’s operations – from meeting stringent emissions regulations to incorporating environmentally-friendly engine designs.
As Kubota continues to lead the way in sustainable practices, the company invites everyone to join in their commitment. Together, we can create products that not only perform at the highest level for customers but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet. Through technology, innovation and a relentless pursuit of sustainability, Kubota is shaping a future where engines are not just powerful but also environmentally responsible – a testament to Kubota’s enduring pledge “For Earth, For Life.”
