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 earthmoving 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.

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. .
Learn more about the challenges of landmine removal, how Komatsu equipment was adapted to meet the needs and hear from our team members involved with this important work at Explore.Komatsu/demining.
For decades, Komatsu equipment has supported the maintenance of healthy forests. Leveraging sophisticated automation, design and engineering, our forestry machines move with precision and care to remove diseased trees, harvest mature ones and, most recently, plant saplings.
With our acquisition of Bracke Forest AB in 2022, we brought in-house additional capabilities to further development of mechanized planting methods as we look to help find new ways to meet the “endless need” for healthy trees to combat climate change. In collaboration with forestry customers and nonprofit reforestation partners, our work continues to a advance development of sustainable forest machines for the future.
