Tokyo/Japan – 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-class 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 are 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.

"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, empowering a sustainable future where people, business, and the planet thrive together," said Dan Funcannon, Sr. Vice President of Surface Haulage for Komatsu.
