We are introducing a new mining dump truck, which is considered absolutely environmentally friendly, allowing no harmful substances to be emitted into the atmosphere. We are only launching it into series production, and accordingly, we will continue to develop in other payload classes. 
Pavel Andreikovets, Head of the Innovation Organization Department of OJSC «BelAZ»

The development of the new dump truck has been underway for several years, with the participation of leading engineers and designers of the BelAZ enterprise. During the tests, the machine confirmed its high performance and reliability, meeting the standards for equipment operating in harsh quarry conditions.

It is noteworthy that BelAZ was the first in the world to present a development of this kind. The company plans to create a whole line of heavy trucks running on hydrogen, with a carrying capacity ranging from 90 to 450 tons. The dump truck is equipped with a hybrid power plant using hydrogen fuel cells. The first batch of these machines will go to Sakhalin.
