What drives innovation across our global business
No matter the challenge presented, Komatsu’s global team members have spent more than a century creating machines and technology to answer the questions of “how?” for tomorrow. Harnessing our collective expertise to go further, we stay true to our brand promise: Creating value together.
How do you design an excavator for construction on the moon?
In communities around the world, Komatsu excavators use smart technology to clear debris and move earth with precision. They are designed to make every pass count while conserving energy and reducing disturbance to the environment.
Increased use of automation and remote technology are advancing productivity, safety and possibilities.
But how will an excavator perform when taken outside of Earth’s atmosphere?
Can the same innovations that drive earth-moving on our planet be applied to others?
Komatsu technicians and engineers are hard at work exploring smart equipment solutions and developing digital twin technology to help inform equipment development to support society’s needs beyond the bounds of our planet.

How can a machine help protect people from dangerous landmines?
Machine engineering and technology that help extract materials essential to daily life are also helping preserve lives and reclaim land. At customer sites around the world, Komatsu dozers merge decades of engineering expertise with cutting-edge technology to carry out their work with power, precision and efficiency.
The results shape much of our modern life, providing core minerals that power our cellphones and new generations of electric vehicles.
Learn more about the use of minerals in every day life and the importance of minerals for a sustainable future.
Some of the same engineering advancements at the core of everyday use of Komatsu dozers and excavators was then put to use for an entirely different challenge: helping rid countries of landmines resulting from wars and other conflicts.
