BHP will provide engineering and technical resources to Komatsu to support the development phase as required, which in turn will provide BHP with real-time access to technology in development.
In the media statement, BHP said it will collaborate with Komatsu through the BHP FutureFit Academy to develop the future-facing skills within its teams to operate and maintain the pioneering equipment.
“Tackling climate change requires strong collaboration and collective effort across the supply chain,” BHP’s Chief Commercial Officer, Vandita Pant, said in the statement.
“Reducing vehicle emissions is key to our climate strategy, and we are thrilled to join with Komatsu and our peers in the global mining sector on real, tangible action to help accelerate our transition to a low carbon future,” Pant said.
