ABB and Komatsu have entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to jointly develop integrated solutions aimed at achieving net zero emissions for heavy industrial machinery. This partnership brings together the expertise of both companies to create innovative solutions that address the need for decarbonization in mobile mining equipment. By focusing on reducing diesel consumption through the electrification of mine operations, ABB and Komatsu aim to support the mining industry's efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The collaboration will prioritize the development of interoperable solutions tailored to the varying stages of electrification across the mining sector, with an emphasis on haulage, loading, and auxiliary equipment. This approach is intended to build a comprehensive portfolio of production and support equipment, facilitating the adoption of electrified solutions and helping mining operators meet their environmental targets.
"We're pleased to embark on this collaboration with ABB and are excited to leverage one another's industry-leading products and technological expertise to help move mining operations toward net zero emissions," said Dan Funcannon, Senior Vice President of Surface Haulage for Komatsu.
