Scoped entry: covers only Komatsu's FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) program; parent-wide business data is not tracked.

Komatsu's FrontRunner AHS is a commercially deployed AI-native autonomous haulage system for ultra-class mining trucks. The system uses onboard perception, AI path planning, and fleet management to enable Komatsu 830E, 930E, and 980E dump trucks to operate without drivers across active mine sites. As of April 2026, Komatsu commissioned its 1,000th ultra-class autonomous truck — the first OEM to reach this milestone. Deployments span North America, South America, Australia, and Europe across coal, copper, gold, and iron ore mining operations.
