KOMATSU AND ABB COLLABORATE THROUGH OPEN ELECTRIFICATION PLATFORM
The agreement comes as mining companies worldwide seek solutions to enable net zero emissions for heavy industrial machinery. global.abb Komatsu and ABB have signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to jointly develop and bring to market integrated solutions that will help move net zero emissions for heavy industrial machinery a step closer to reality. The two global leaders will leverage industry expertise and equipment in a bid to create world-class interoperability, ranging from renewable energy generation to fully electrified mining equipment for customers, through an open platform. Multinational company Komatsu is known as one of the world’s largest providers of construction and mining machinery and will now link up with global leader ABB for its expertise and technologies for automation and electrification. Both companies bid to accelerate decarbonization in mining alongside customers, partners and suppliers, enabling continued productivity, energy efficiency and value across the industry. The global mining industry remains responsible for up to seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to strategy and management consultancy McKinsey & Co., with a large volume attributed to diesel-driven vehicle movements in open-pit and underground mines. It’s widely recognized that 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. ABB and Komatsu are developing innovative solutions such as fully electrified mining machinery and advanced energy management systems. Innovation is the primary catalyst for ABB and Komatsu to help the industry reach carbon reduction goals. Each company will nominate specialists from their teams for a working group to develop recommendations and strategies on what the road to net zero emission systems for grid to wheel could require. For a firsthand look of this collaboration, ABB’s Robot Automated Connection Device (ACD) will be featured on the Komatsu MINExpo 2024 booth from September 24th to 26th. The Robot ACD is planned to be a fully automated interoperable connection device working in tandem with the ABB eMine™ FastCharge solution for future battery-electric trucks. new.abb.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
