Trimble and Hyundai expand factory-ready 3D grade control option globally

TESSENDERLO, Belgium - Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB), the $19.7 billion technology company whose stock has surged 48% over the past year, and Hyundai Construction Equipment announced Tuesday that Hyundai’s HD130A bulldozers will now be available with a Trimble Ready 3D option for customers worldwide, expanding beyond North America where the option was introduced in late 2024.

The factory-installed Trimble Ready kit allows for simplified on-site installation of the Trimble Earthworks grade control platform on both the HD130A XL and HD130A LGP models. The technology automatically adjusts the bulldozer’s blade position based on project designs loaded into the cab system. According to InvestingPro data, Trimble has maintained strong financial health with $3.57 billion in revenue over the last twelve months, while five analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward.

"The Trimble Ready Hyundai HD130A bulldozer is another way earthmoving contractors can seamlessly connect their digital and physical worlds," said Scott Crozier, vice president of civil construction field systems at Trimble.

Gert Peeters, product manager at Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe (HCEE), stated that the collaboration represents "a further step forward in delivering intelligent, high-performance machines to our customers."

According to the press release, the companies are also working on operator assist features and cloud collaboration capabilities for construction machines.

The Trimble Earthworks 3D grade control system supports multiple sensor configurations, including dual GNSS with cross slope, UTS with cross slope, single GNSS with cross slope, dual laser with cross slope, and single laser with cross slope.

Installation services, training, and technical support for the system will be provided through Trimble’s SITECH dealer channel and select authorized resellers. While trading near its 52-week high, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is slightly overvalued at current levels.
