Imagine the thrill of riding in a huge BELAZ! That's exactly how, on July 15, the 11th anniversary of industrial tourism at the plant, a special guest was welcomed – Irina Karmalkova from Minsk, who became the 5,000th female tourist to ride in the cab of 90-ton dump truck around the test ground.

Immediately after the ride, the brave lady was presented with a commemorative certificate and branded gifts. The event took on special symbolism because it happened in the Year of the Belarusian Woman, reminding us that there are no barriers to the courage and determination of our compatriots.

The award was a pleasant surprise for Irina:

– I still can't believe what's happening! Climbing into this giant dump truck is already an event, and finding out that I became the anniversary female tourist in the BELAZ cab is a real shock and delight! BELAZ and its vehicles are the pride of the Republic of Belarus. It was very interesting to visit here. Thank you very much for the gifts and unforgettable experience!
