As per the report, the Belarusian vehicles have been purchased to upgrade the fleet of mining transport and will be used at the mazoul mine in Krasnoyarsk Krai.

Rusal Achinsk commented: “New haulers will help increase labour productivity and reduce costs for the technological process of raw material extraction. This equipment has high performance characteristics. It is more economical in terms of fuel and lubricants consumption. The driver's cabs have an improved view and control system, and are equipped with comfortable seats and climate systems.”

Going forward, Rusal plans to purchase several dozens of haulers this year.
