What do hydraulics and F1 race cars have in common? Development for both require continuous engineering, testing and innovation — something heavy equipment manufacturer Komatsu will demonstrate through its renewed partnership with the Atlassian Williams F1 Team.

As the F1 team’s Official Hydraulic Innovation Partner, Komatsu will bring its years of knowledge in developing hydraulic systems and other advanced technologies, including technical expertise in advanced manufacturing. Through its partnership with the Williams team, Komatsu is demonstrating how hydraulics technologies and engineering expertise can be applied to a range of applications.

What are some of the more interesting applications of hydraulics you’ve seen? How have you seen expertise in hydraulics adapted to new industries or use cases? Feel free to email me at [email protected] to offer your thoughts!
