The commissioning ceremony of three new BELAZ-7513D mining dump trucks with a payload capacity of 130 tons took place at the "Pavlovsky No. 2" coal mine of Primorskugol LLC.

As Elena Shish, Minister of Energy and Gas Supply of Primorsky Krai, noted, thanks to the new BELAZ dump trucks that have joined the coal mining company's fleet, more fuel will be supplied to the Primorskaya GRES Power Station, one of the largest energy facilities not only in Primorye but in the entire Russian Far East.

The foremen of the mine's most experienced driver crews received a special uniform to carry out the first coal haulage trips on the new BELAZ mining dump trucks.

Andrey Kostarev, General Director of Primorskugol LLC, emphasized that it’s not only an investment in the company's development and new jobs, but it’s also a source of light and heat for the homes of residents of Primorsky Krai.

BELAZ-7513D mining dump trucks are currently our brand's most popular models. The combination of innovation, advanced engineering solutions, and time-proven components and systems makes these vehicles reliable, efficient, and safe. This expansion of the BELAZ equipment fleet will allow Primorskugol LLC to increase its brown coal production.

Symbolically, for the first time in the history of coal mining of Primorye, Belarusian mining dump trucks have been named after their best miners. The BELAZ dump trucks "Valery Vokin", "Yuri Petukhov" and "Nikolay Frolov", named after renowned miners who made a significant contribution to the development of the coal industry of Primorsky Krai, have set off on the haul roads of the Pavlovsky brown coal mine.
