Joint Venture with Hitachi
Edit
KCM and Hitachi Construction Machinery have been working together to develop next-generation wheel loader models that meet new emissions standards as well as to sell Kawasaki wheel loaders in the Japanese market based on a partnership agreement announced on October 31, 2008. As part of the agreement, KCM will supply three large-size wheel loader models, which have been widely used for aggregate processing and stone crushing purposes as well as in marble quarries, to Hitachi Construction Machinery on an OEM basis. Hitachi Construction Machinery began selling these wheel loaders in the European market via its local subsidiary in January 2010.[1]
