Cooled EGR is a technology well-proven
in current Komatsu engines. The increased
capacity of the EGR cooler now ensures
very low NOx emissions and a better engine
performance.
KVGT
KDPF
AdBlue® injector
Komatsu Closed Crankcase Ventilation
(KCCV)
Crankcase emissions (blow-by gas) are
passed through a CCV filter. The oil mist
trapped in the filter is returned back to the
crankcase while the filtered gas is returned
to the air intake.
HM400-5
Komatsu EU Stage IV
The Komatsu EU Stage IV engine is
productive, dependable and efficient.
With ultra-low emissions, it provides
a lower environmental impact and a
superior performance to help reduce
operating costs and lets the operator
work in complete peace of mind.
Heavy-duty aftertreatment
The aftertreatment system com-
bines a Komatsu Diesel Particulate
Filter (KDPF) and Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR). The SCR injects
the correct amount of AdBlue® into
the system at the proper rate to
break down NOx into water (H2O)
and non-toxic nitrogen gas (N2). NOx
emissions are reduced by 80% vs.
EU StageIIIB engines.
AdBlue® mixing tube
High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR)
To achieve complete fuel burn and lower
exhaust emissions, the heavy-duty HighPressure Common Rail fuel injection
system is computer controlled to deliver a
precise quantity of pressurised fuel into the
redesigned engine combustion chamber by
multiple injections.
Adjustable idle shutdown
Clean exhaust
Komatsu Variable Geometry Turbo
(KVGT)
The KVGT provides optimal airflow to the
engine combustion chamber under all speed
and load conditions. Exhaust gas is cleaner,
fuel economy is improved while machine
power and performance are maintained.

Maximised Efficiency
Komatsu Traction Control
System (KTCS)
For its world renowned rigid dump
trucks, Komatsu developed vari-
ous wheel slip control systems that
were refined and combined with new
technologies to produce the ad-
vanced traction control system that
equips all HM400-5 machines. KTCS
automatically provides optimum
traction in any ground condition. If
tyre slippage is detected by one of
the speed sensors located on four of
the wheels, it triggers the automatic
application of the inter-axle differ-
ential lock. If slippage persists, the
intelligent brakes systems automati-
cally control the slipping wheel and
regain traction on the opposite side.
This improves productivity and tyre
durability.
K-ATOMiCS transmission
Komatsu’s exclusive electroni-
cally controlled transmission, or
K-ATOMiCS, is tuned perfectly for
the HM400-5. The “total control
system” manages both the engine
and transmission by monitoring the
vehicle’s condition. This Komatsu-
designed technology guarantees
smooth shifting and maximises
transmission life.
Large capacity body
The HM400-5 has a payload of
40tonnes that combines with a load-
ing height of only 3.165mm to en-
able easy loading. The truck features
a low centre of gravity and a high
ground clearance.
Selectable working modes
“Power mode” is for high production
jobs and uphill hauling. It increases
the engine’s maximum output and
raises the upshift and downshift
engine speeds during operation.
For lighter work on flat ground, the
“Economy mode” will lower the
engine’s maximum output and the
upshift and downshift speeds.
Payload meter (optional)
The loaded weight is displayed on
the cab monitor, and its status is also
communicated to the loader operator
with an external light, located on top
of the cab. PLM data is stored in the
truck’s controller: it can be directly
downloaded to a PC and is included
in the KOMTRAX™ data you can ac-
cess via the internet.

First-Class Comfort
Wide and comfortable cab
The wide Komatsu SpaceCab™
with user-friendly controls provides
a comfortable and safe work en-
vironment. A fully adjustable air-
suspended seat dampens vibrations
and reduces the fatigue of long
shifts. Large front and electric side
windows give a superior visibility
and increased confidence. The rear
window can be electrically heated for
quick defrosting.
Unique hydro-pneumatic
suspension
On both the front and rear axle,
Komatsu’s unique trailing arm hydro-
pneumatic suspension gives the
HM400-5 a smooth ride with re-
duced pitching and excellent driving
comfort. Less shocks for the opera-
tor and for the machine components
also mean less spilled material and
increased durability, comfort and
productivity.
Low-noise design
To reduce noise levels, the cab is
mounted on viscous dampeners.
Further noise reduction is achieved
by the integrated cab floor: it makes
the cab air-tight and seals off the
engine compartment. A low-noise
and sound-insulated muffler helps to
bring sound levels way down, to just
72 dB(A).

comfortable position

well-being during the entire work shift. Both seats
can be heated, for an easy start on cold winter days.

Information & Communication Technology
Lower operating costs
Komatsu ICT contributes to the
reduction of operating costs by as-
sisting to comfortably and efficiently
manage operations. It raises the level
of customer satisfaction and the
competitive edge of our products.
Large TFT colour monitor
A large user-friendly colour monitor
enables safe, accurate and smooth
work. Multilingual and with all essen-
tial information available at a glance,
it features simple and easy-to-oper-
ate switches and multifunction keys
that provide fingertip access to a
wide range of functions and opera-
ting information.
Eco guidance
The monitor panel displays instant
guidance messages to help promote
energy saving, and the Eco-gauge in-
dicates the actual fuel consumption:
keep the Eco-gauge in the green
zone for better fuel efficiency. To
further improve savings, logs can be
consulted for operations, Eco guid-
ance and fuel consumption.

HM400-5
Tough and Reliable
Market leading Komatsu design
The HM400-5 is built from Komatsu-manufac-
tured components that successfully demonstrate
their durability, day after day. Tested and proven
by several generations of Komatsu trucks, this
top-selling technology sets the mould for all
Komatsu ADTs. The entire power train of the
HM400-5 is Komatsu-designed and the engine,
transmission and axles are perfectly matched, for
unsurpassed productivity and durability.

Safety First
Safer with KTCS
By operating only the accelerator,
Komatsu’s unique Traction Control
System (KTCS) allows full-time all-
wheel drive, along with safe and easy
turning on soft ground and slippery
roads. Thanks to this superior steer-
ing, no extra skill is required to drive
an HM400-5.
Wet multiple-disc brakes
and retarder
Wet multiple-disc brakes are tai-
lored for the HM400-5, with proven
performance in larger articulated
and rigid trucks. The large-capacity,
continuously cooled, wet-multiple
disc brakes also function as a
highly responsive retarder for greater
confidence when travelling downhill
at higher speeds. (Retarder absorb-
ing capacity, continuous descent:
510kW 684HP)
Excellent all-round visibility
To keep the working area under con-
trol, a laminated-glass windshield,
wide side windows, a standard rear-
view camera and monitor, 3addition-
al under-view mirrors and 4 rear-view
mirrors combine to minimise blind
spots.
Rear frame inclination sensor
To help avoid personal and machine
damage, the system will issue a
warning if ever there should be a risk
of body tip over.
Supplementary steering and
secondary brakes
Standard features on the HM400-5
include supplementary steering and
secondary brakes. They help to guar-
antee safety in emergency situations.
Built-in ROPS/FOPS to ISO 3471 and SAE

Easy Maintenance
Basic maintenance screen
Ground level access
Transmission oil filters and brake
systems can be serviced from
ground level.
Ground clearance
With 710 mm free space, the hinge
connection on the HM400-5 stays
out of the mud and its robust mainte-
nance-free build gives it a longer life.
AdBlue® tank
For simple access, the AdBlue® tank
is installed next to the fuel tank.
Lowest brake maintenance
cost
No matter how abrasive the applica-
tion, no need to worry about an early
replacement of the brake disc packs.
Brakes on the HM400-5 are embed-
ded in an oil bath and sealed off from
the environment. Their exceptionally
long overhaul period minimises main-
tenance costs.
Tilting cab
The cab can be electrically tilted
rearward 27 degrees to provide easy
maintenance and service to the en-
gine and transmission.
Radiator fan mode

Reversible radiator fan
By a touch on the monitor panel, the
radiator can be cleaned easily with a
reversible, hydraulically driven cool-
ing fan. A clean radiator reduces fuel
consumption and increases overall
machine performance.
