KPM UK manufactures its pump products under license from Japan and this has therefore kept R & D efforts in Japan. However, in the last two years the UK business has been authorized to develop some Japanese designed products at KPM UK, which Lee outlines as an exciting opportunity:“ We’ re in the process of developing a higher power medium duty pump, increasing the power from 32 to 35 megapascals, to compete in the European market. We’ re also developing a digitally controlled motor called Smart Motor, and that subsequent success means we’ ve been given authority from Japan to start developing digitally controlled pumps. In general, the hydraulics industry is moving to digital control, so when it comes to our radial piston motor, we recognize that the hydraulic motor is in competition with electric motors. Both options have their own strengths, but the hydraulic motor has a higher power envelope, so we created a hybrid hydraulic motor that is controlled digitally.
“ Additionally, the mobile construction market is all about efficiency gains, reducing costs, and improving sustainability. As such, we also sell hydrogen fuel cell technology
