BELAZ and Nornickel will establish a joint venture. The relevant agreement was signed on Monday by the Belarusian company’s CEO Siarhei Lesin<\/strong> and Nornickel head Vladimir Potanin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It provides for the establishment of a company to produce mining equipment, introduce unmanned technologies, as well as a company with a full-service repair facility aimed at developing the production, repair and maintenance of underground mining equipment.<\/p>\n

BELAZ and Nornickel began active cooperation in underground mining equipment in 2022. The results so far include six test mining dump trucks (MoAZ-75851) and the first load-haul-dump machine (MoAZ-4076 LHD). They are undergoing trials in Norilsk. Factory tests are also currently underway for the newest underground machinery complex for loading and transporting mined material \u2014 a 45-ton mining dump truck (BELAZ-75855) and a loader with a 17.2-ton payload capacity (BELAZ-79550 LHD).<\/p>\n

In addition to conventional diesel-powered machines, BELAZ is already working on equipment using alternative energy sources. Next year, pilot industrial tests of battery-powered haul trucks are scheduled to begin, while a battery-powered load-haul-dump machine is undergoing factory tests.<\/p>\n
