Komatsu Collaborative Research Cluster for Innovative Technologies is a collaborative research cluster established jointly by Komatsu and then Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2019. This cluster has been continuously enhanced and is currently focused on research and development related to improving the efficiency and electrification of construction machinery, with core technologies in tribology (the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion) and thermal management. The ultimate goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in construction and mining sites. In addition, collaborative research is being conducted with laboratories across a wide range of fields to develop new technologies and achieve breakthroughs in addressing challenges.
