Canada Nickel Announces Selection of SMS Equipment Inc. and Komatsu for $1.5 billion Load & Haul Fleet Purchase
Canada Nickel selected Komatsu and its largest Canadian dealer SMS Equipment to supply the load-and-haul and support mining fleet for its Crawford Nickel Project, with more than 300 machines worth roughly C$1.5 billion expected to be purchased over the 40-year project life. Komatsu won out over proposals from four vendors, chosen for proven automation and electrification technology including DISPATCH fleet management and FrontRunner autonomous haul trucks, plus trolley-assist experience that cuts diesel consumption and eases a transition to battery-electric trucks.
