ABB and Komatsu have signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to collaborate on the development of integrated solutions that will help bring net zero emissions for heavy industrial machinery a step closer to reality. The collaboration brings two global leaders together to share industry expertise and products in a bid to create world-clas solutions, ranging from renewable energy generation to fully electrified mining equipment.
Decarbonization of mobile mining equipment is needed to help mine operators achieve their greenhouse gas reduction targets. ABB and Komatsu’s collaboration is geared towards reducing diesel consumption and ultimately eliminating it through the electrification of mine operations. Innovation has been, and will continue to be, the primary catalyst for ABB, Komatsu, and our mine customers to reach their carbon reduction goals.
With the collaboration, ABB and Komatsu are deeply committed to providing customers with a portfolio of interoperable solutions to meet their specific needs. Recognizing the varying stages of electrification standards across the mining industry, ABB and Komatsu are focusing on haulage, loading, and auxiliary equipment. This approach aims to build a comprehensive portfolio of production and support equipment to accelerate adoption into our customers’ operations.
