ABB process industries division president Joachim Braun says a formal pact with Komatsu to develop electrification and decarbonisation solutions for the mining industry can make a “revolutionary difference to the way mining companies operate their sites in the near future”.
The two manufacturing heavyweights say they will focus on integrated solutions, from renewable energy generation to fully electrified mining fleets.
“The companies will provide a portfolio of interoperable solutions for customers to meet their specific needs,” they said in a joint statement.
“The partnership will focus on haulage, loading and auxiliary machinery to establish a broad range of production and support equipment, expediting customer adoption.”
Braun said collaboration across the mining industry had “already been proven to enable real and faster progress and we look forward to driving what happens next”.
