Mr. Vipin Sondhi, MD & CEO, JCB India, said:

Today is a very proud day for JCB India. Once again, JCB raises the bar in innovation with the launch of New Tracked Excavator – JS205LC. The new 20 tonne Excavator offers best fuel efficiency, coupled with better performance and productivity.

According to the company, the JCB JS205LC has a best-in-class fuel economy during excavation which saves a claimed 1.3 lakhs per annum on fuel. The tracked excavator can be used for earthwork, quarrying, and road construction among others.

The machine is powered by a 109KW (146 bhp) engine and has a bucket capacity of 0.8 cu.m to 1.02 cu.m. JCB’s Plexus Oil Filter System extends hydraulic oil life by up to 5,000 hrs, reducing the maintenance cost.
