About Komatsu
Komatsu combines heavy machines with fleet control, positioning, remote operation and jobsite software. FrontRunner coordinates autonomous ultra-class haul trucks at commissioned mines, while Smart Construction connects design data, surveying and machine-control workflows. The company is also expanding autonomous water trucks, remote excavator operation and software-defined vehicle development across construction and mining equipment.
In April 2026 Komatsu reported its 1,000th commissioned FrontRunner truck, a 290-tonne-payload 930E-5AT at Nevada Gold Mines. Customer fleets had moved more than 11.5 billion tonnes of material across sites in North America, South America, Australia and Europe. These cumulative figures describe the deployed system portfolio; mine-specific productivity, safety and maintenance outcomes depend on fleet composition, site design and operating controls.
