This was agreed upon yesterday during a visit by the Arkhangelsk delegation to a Belarusian machine-building enterprise.
Governor of the Arkhangelsk region Alexander Tsybulsky led the regional delegation to one of the leading machine-building enterprises in Belarus. Together with him, representatives of large industrial companies in the region, such as Severalmaz, Arkhangelsk Sea Commercial Port, APPM and PKP Titan, visited the plant.
BelAZ is the world’s largest enterprise producing mining dump trucks and transport equipment. Its main facilities are located in the city of Zhodino, Minsk region. To date, BelAZ has developed more than 550 modifications of quarry equipment for operation in different climatic conditions.
“Last year we modernized the assembly shop: previously, vehicles with a carrying capacity of 30, 40 and 55 tons were assembled here, and since October last year we have been producing dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 90 tons from the assembly line,” said Sergei Lesin, General Director of BelAZ OJSC. — We have maximally improved production using advanced technologies. The most popular is the model with a lifting capacity of 130 tons: last year we sold 150 of these machines, 300 dump trucks with a lifting capacity of 220 tons and 94 vehicles with a lifting capacity of 90 tons. The main market for us is the Russian Federation: 92 percent of deliveries over the past two years were made to your country.
The equipment is suitable for use in the Arctic region, which is confirmed by the experience of enterprises in the Arkhangelsk region engaged in the extraction of natural resources. For example, the Severalmaz company has been actively cooperating with BelAZ since 2022, having acquired 11 units of equipment. In 2023, 10 more vehicles were purchased, and it is planned to continue replenishing the fleet with Belarusian dump trucks capable of effectively developing diamond quarries.
The AGD Diamonds company also actively uses BelAZ mining dump trucks. Its fleet includes more than 40 units of Belarusian equipment.
In addition to diamond mining enterprises, BelAZ mining dump trucks are used at the North Onega bauxite mine, which produces bauxite and refractory clay, and at the Onega-Nerud enterprise, which mines granites.
During a visit to the plant, the Governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Alexander Tsybulsky, took part in a test drive and personally tested the control of the BelAZ. He emphasized that it is planned to expand diamond mining in the region, as well as develop a large lead-zinc deposit and deposits of building materials. This opens up prospects for further cooperation between industrial enterprises in the region and Belarusian machine builders.
Earlier, the delegation of the Arkhangelsk region visited the Minsk Amkodor plant. They produce special vehicles for the road construction, logistics, peat mining, forestry, municipal, and agricultural industries.
Let us remind you that yesterday the Arkhangelsk and Minsk regions signed a cooperation agreement. The heads of the Arkhangelsk and Minsk regions signed an action plan for the implementation of the agreement between the regional governments.
We also wrote that the Arkhangelsk region took part in the Russian-Belarusian business forum. Governor of the Arkhangelsk region Alexander Tsybulsky, members of the regional government and regional enterprises presented the investment and industrial potential of Pomorie.
Yesterday it became known that Pomorie and Belarus will cooperate in the field of youth policy. The corresponding agreement was signed by the youth center of the Arkhangelsk region and the republican youth center.
Alexander Tsybulsky also held a working meeting with Alexander Lukashenko. The President of Belarus noted that the arrival of the delegation of the Russian region in Minsk is a positive event for the further development of interaction within the Union State. Also, the Northern Russian Folk Choir held a concert in Minsk. It took place yesterday at the Republican Palace of Culture and Trade Unions.
