Investments allow BELAZ to improve production standards and the quality of its equipment. Systematic upgrading of manufacturing facilities makes it possible to quickly respond to customer demand and increase product competitiveness. It became a priority for the company's development in 2025.

Total fixed capital investment in 2025 reached 203.3 million Belarusian rubles, almost double the amount compared to the previous year (109.8 million). Over 60 units of high-tech equipment purchased as part of a large-scale modernization program ensured the systematic re-equipment of facilities and the implementation of advanced quality standards.

134.8 million Belarusian rubles were allocated to acquire 64 units of equipment with improved performance, accuracy, and other necessary parameters. The new equipment includes CNC machining centers, thermal cutting machines, metal-cutting and forging machines, modern welding machines, automated storage systems, and metal coating and painting equipment.

Among other things, the introduction of new equipment allows us to localize the production of key components on the company’s premises. Thus, through the implementation of import-substitution projects, the manufacture of components for large-size rear axle bearings for 90-240-ton dump trucks has been secured and the production of planetary hydromechanical gearboxes has been mastered.

Modernizing the production not only allows us to improve the quality of our mass-produced vehicles but also to test new models in a shorter timeframe and bring them to a new level of quality. Thanks to modern technologies, we have significantly reduced the time it takes to launch prototypes of promising models into mass production. Currently, we are already testing a 17.2-ton load-haul-dump vehicle for underground working, as well as new types of equipment: a heavy grader and a hydraulic excavator.

This year BELAZ will continue to implement projects to create new equipment, including modernized dump trucks with a payload capacity of 90, 180, and 290 tons, a complex of mining vehicles, and a 41-ton articulated dump truck.
