Belarusian BelAZ showcases innovative solutions at business week in Russia's Ufa

Aleksei Moroz, the head of the department for promotion of underground and road-building vehicles at BelAZ, made a presentation during the session "Bashkortostan - Belarus: Potential of industrial cooperation".

"Major consumers of our equipment are mining enterprises of the Russian Federation. As of December 2022, 85% of the total volume of shipments went to Russia,” he stressed. Following the global environmental trends, BelAZ is implementing several projects to manufacture rock haulers powered by batteries and running on gas engine fuel. The use of "green" dump trucks will allow mining enterprises to save on differences in the prices for fuel and electricity, expenses on maintenance and fuels and lubricants."

The participants of the session from Bashkortostan expressed interest in the purchase of Belarusian machines and vehicles. This year the business week in Ufa brought together about 3,000 participants and almost 500 speakers from 24 countries.
