In pursuing increasingly sustainable and renewable energy resources, Komatsu leverages groundbreaking work from all areas of our global business for valuable cross-industry insights.

Komatsu’s founder, Meitaro Takeuchi, had a vision for a bright future. His vision relied on talented people, a dedication to quality, new technology and people working together around the world. This past vision helps keep Komatsu deeply connected to our planet Earth today.
We’ve set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, a journey that began years ago in how we design and produce equipment and continues through the life of our products and solutions.

As we work across our core industries of construction, mining and forestry to help customers improve the sustainability of their operations, we are focused on:

  • Reducing emissions and waste on existing fleets through technology and training
  • Building on our history to develop sustainable, lower-emission and emission-free solutions
  • Providing flexibility in how we get to a carbon-neutral future
For over 70 years, we’ve been innovating our product lines for core industries to break new ground with electrification and hybrid technologies. In that time, our products have helped customers move more than 100 billion tons of material with electric drive technologies. Today, there are more than 150 Komatsu surface wheel loaders worldwide across multiple jobsites using SR, hybrid electric drive technology.
Through our Komatsu Academy platform, we are committed to providing training virtually, in person or through a blended approach to help educate operators and other key staff on how best to use the equipment and technologies to increase efficiency and enhance sustainability by reducing fuel waste and emissions.
For existing fleets, we offer customers technology and training support solutions to help identify opportunities to reduce fuel waste, equipment hang time and much more. Our Smart Construction and Smart Quarry digital solutions help customers optimize the use of equipment to work more precisely and help operators move materials more efficiently.
