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.
