BelAZ mining dump trucks will switch from American engines to Russian ones

Due to the imposition of sanctions against Belarus, manufacturers from the United States stopped supplying components. The roadmap for the use of UDMZ engines in mining dump trucks has already been signed, the note says.

The Belarusian manufacturer already has experience working with UDMZ: in 2018, as part of the experiment, a 240-ton BelAZ-75319 was assembled with a 12-cylinder V-shaped diesel engine DM-185 with a volume of 70 liters and a power of 2536 hp. This dump truck has been operating in the Tugnuisky mine in Buryatia for several years.
