Komatsu G40 Bulldozer - Japanese Navy
Item #32565

During WWII, Japanese forces developed the Komatsu G40 Bulldozer
to aid in airfield construction. This was the first bulldozer
manufactured by the Japanese. One hundred and forty-eight G40
bulldozers were built throughout the war. The G40 was sent to the
northern and southern fronts, but due to the war few managed to
reach their assigned airfields. Only one G40 survived the war,
and can be seen at the Komatsu Techo Center in Shizuka, Japan.
The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers recognized the vehicle
in 2007 as a Mechanical Engineering Heritage item.
