Komatsu leads the way
The Japanese company
Komatsu is the real pioneer in
the development of autonomous
systems. In 2008, Komatsu
launched its first Autonomous
Haulage System (AHS), installed
within its electric drive haul trucks.
The AHS haul trucks are equipped
with precise navigation satellite
positioning systems paired with
advanced sensors. Integrated
controllers enable remote control
of the machine from a distance

their opinion on the outcomes of the crisis in
connection with their business.
LECTURA conducted a complex survey in cooperation with the European Rental Associ-
ation (ERA) and Committee for European Equipment (CECE) focused on the aftermath
of the pandemic situation in the construction sector. The survey targeted European

Regarding the VSE screening
buckets, the output size can be
