MINSK, 18 May (BelTA) – The Belarusian automobile engineering company BelAZ is getting ready to ship a large batch of vehicles to coal-mining enterprises in Russia. Eleven vehicles from this batch will be painted in colors of the flag of the Russian Federation, BelAZ representatives told BelTA.
As many as 16 BelAZ haul trucks with the carrying capacity of 130 tonnes and 220 tonnes will be shipped to coal-mining enterprises in the Republic of Khakassia, the Trans-Baikal Territory, and the Khabarovsk Territory. 130-tonne BelAZ 7513D haul trucks and 220-tonne BelAZ 7530G haul trucks enjoy well-deserved popularity in coal strip mines in Russia. These modern haul trucks are delivered as semi-knocked-down kits (SKD) to their destinations along the world’s longest railway – the Trans-Siberian Railway, which unites Russia’s central part with Siberia and the Far East.
Five haul trucks were already shipped to a Russian customer in March-April. Eleven more heavy trucks will be shipped in May-June. The driver’s cabs and platforms of these vehicles have been painted with colors of the Russian flag to the customer’s specifications.
BelAZ’s 130-tonne and 220-tonne trucks handle most of the work involved in hauling mined rock as part of coal-mining operations in the Republic of Khakassia and in the Far East. These reliable and competitive vehicles with low operational costs and high performance provide a high level of workplace safety to coal miners in complicated conditions of coal strip mines.
