At this year's MINExpo, Komatsu is proud to present the PC4000-11E hydraulic mining excavator. The electrically powered hydraulic mining excavator merges the powerful digging force of high-performance diesel machines with the lower carbon footprint of an electrically powered machine.

Komatsu, in collaboration with Boliden, is proud to announce the commissioning and start of field trials for the first diesel trolley truck in its new Power Agnostic (PA) series. The Komatsu Power Agnostic 930E truck was deployed at Boliden’s Aitik mine in Gallivare, Sweden, marking a major step forward in the journey toward decarbonizing surface mining operations.

Check out how the PC5500 is redefining the game — delivering unmatched performance while generating 95% less emissions! Powered by green energy and with nearly 70,000 operating hours, it’s proving that zero-emission mining is not just a vision, but a reality.

Leveraging Komatsu’s electric drive truck experience, the 980E-5SE offers the highest-in-class horsepower available on an ultra-class truck. Engineered to promote increased productivity and a reduced carbon footprint, the 980E-5SE’s electric drive means fewer mechanical components, less maintenance and potentially reduced life cycle costs. 

On mining sites, support machines, like dozers, can directly impact productivity by keeping blasting, loading and dump areas clean, enabling loading and hauling equipment to work more efficiently. If your operation needs a versatile mining dozer that can go from ripping solid rock to cleaning up around the dragline, take a look at the new Komatsu D475A-8.

January 27, 2022 – Each year, “Mining Magazine” recognizes excellence in the mining industry with its annual awards list.

This year’s winners were recently announced.

Komatsu’s rigid frame off-highway haul truck, the HD1500-8E0, is purpose-built for mining, quarry and aggregate applications. Delivering performance with a 1,580 gross horsepower (1180 kW), Tier 4 final Komatsu SDA16V159E-3 engine, the HD1500-8E0 helps drive high levels of productivity.

The triennial bauma in Munich introduces construction machinery and building materials of the highest quality to the world market. Anticipation is building for bauma 2022, which was initially scheduled for April 2021, but was subsequently postponed to the dates 24 – 30 October 2022 at Messe Munich. The fair week will bring together more than half a million industry professionals and all key players in the sector. With 18 halls and an overall exhibition space of 614,000 sq.m., bauma Munich 2022 will offer participants more space for doing business than ever before. The exhibition will encompass the entire industry in one spot, with a comprehensive assortment in the areas of construction site equipment and machinery, mining, extraction and processing of raw materials, production of building materials, and components and services. The splendid showcase guarantees that participants will find the solutions they need and offers exhibitors a chance to connect with new clients and close crucial deals.

Today, all business organizations are responsible for being good environmental stewards. When the decision was made several years ago to move from Komatsu’s existing National Avenue facility to a new location in the South Harbor area of Milwaukee, sustainability was top of mind. The result is an innovative building and dynamic campus that delivers sustainable solutions, energy efficiency and opportunities to learn about the past, present and future of the mining industry.
