The unique dump truck BELAZ-7513M with payload capacity of 130 tons has successfully completed all stages of factory tests and now will confirm the declared performance and technical-economic indicators in practice, working at BELAZ industrial testing site near Mikashevichy.




According to the plan of operational tests for 2025, the dump truck will be used in Sitnitsa to deliver crushed stone screening and transport overburden. According to geological research granite deposits at the deposit “Sitnitskoe” cover 18-meter layer of overburden and 12 meters of white clay. Therefore, the work front for BELAZ prototypes is very serious here.
The hybrid BELAZ-7513M is equipped with a low-power engine and rechargeable batteries that ensure uninterrupted operation of the dump truck during the whole shift. The dump truck is equipped with an energy recovery system that allows redirecting the energy of electrodynamic braking to the battery charging system. During the braking, the electric motor acts as a generator and adds energy to the traction battery. During the downhill and while the truck is parked under loading/unloading, it also recoups the energy in the battery.
Having demonstrated its performance and efficiency in real work, in future the hybrid can be included in the fleet of technological transport of RUPE “Granit” in the operating mine “Mikashevichi”.
