The team of operators of the Bachatsky coal mine of the Kuzbassrazrezugol company transported a record amount of rock mass on a BELAZ-75306 dump truck, the BELAZ media centre reported
“The cargo turnover of a 220-tonne dump truck in March amounted to 1,653,428 tonne-kilometres – an absolute record!” the company informed.
