Komatsu 930E diesel trolley dumper truck
The 930E diesel trolley power agnostic truck was commissioned at Boliden’s Aitik Mine
The Komatsu 930E dump truck passed its quarry test after being presented at last year’s Minexpo in Las Vegas. The Komatsu 930E truck was officially deployed on April 23, 2025, at Boliden’s Aitik mine in Gallivare, Sweden. In this case, as is often the situation in industrial engine manufacturing, the designation of ‘Power Agnostic’ was assigned to it.

Operating at one of Europe’s largest and most productive open-pit copper mines, this next-generation haul truck is set to undergo a 12-month field trial. Built on Komatsu’s new modular platform, the Power Agnostic (PA) 930E which enables users to begin with diesel power and later transition to alternative energy sources such as battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell technology, depending on their operational needs, technology readiness, and pace of decarbonization efforts. The integration of diesel trolley assist functionality further enhances performance by reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while paving the way for a future electrified mine.
The words from those directly involved, Komatsu and Boliden
“Integrating the Power Agnostic 930E into our fleet reflects Boliden’s ambition to be at the forefront of sustainable mining,” said Jonas Ranggard, Sr. Project Manager, Boliden. “Partnering with Komatsu on this pilot helps us explore innovative solutions that align with our climate goals while continuing to deliver productivity and performance. We see great potential in this technology and look forward to where it can lead us next.”
“This is more than just a technical achievement, it’s a meaningful step forward in our joint commitment towards zero-emission mining,” said Jeroen De Roeck, Senior Mining Manager, Komatsu Europe. “By commissioning the first diesel trolley truck in our Power Agnostic series at Boliden’s Aitik Mine, we are turning vision into reality. Our partnership with Boliden is a shining example of how collaboration can drive sustainable innovation in mining.”
