BelAZ dump trucks powered by hydrogen to go to Sakhalin

24.07.2024

BelAZ will supply hybrid mining dump trucks using hydrogen fuel to Sakhalin. The company signed an agreement with Russian partners providing for the supply of the first three 130-ton dump trucks to begin their trial operation. Last fall, BelAZ presented its own innovative technology, a test prototype with a hybrid operating system combining hydrogen fuel cells and batteries. Russia showed interest in the project, since according to the government's plans, Sakhalin should become the country's first carbon-free region.
