The new heavy heavy-duty trucks BELAZ-7513T are already operating at one of the world’s largest gold deposits in Eastern Siberia. This addition is intended to enhance the mining logistics of the Sukhoi Log project in the Irkutsk region.
BELAZ-7513T, the technological ally for extreme conditions
Capable of carrying up to 140 tons per trip, these vehicles are designed to cope with the severe climatic conditions of the Siberian environment, with temperatures that can drop as low as -50 °C (-22 °F). Their configuration includes an electromechanical transmission and an 1168 kW (1588 hp) diesel engine, ensuring a high level of traction on steep terrain.
The entry into operation of these trucks allows the mining company to improve the volume of cargo moved per shift and optimize the efficiency of the extractive processes. A single vehicle can reach up to 1,100 ton-kilometers in a working day, significantly strengthening the logistics system of the gold deposit. gold deposit..
The trucks BELAZ-7513T represent a commitment to technology applied to heavy-duty large-tonnage transport. This fleet renewal allows to better face operational challenges and ensure production continuity in environments with high thermal and mechanical demands.
