How did Belaz mining trucks end up in China?
Published:2025/1/6 21:06:49

    What are Belaz mining trucks like? Those who have worked in mines for a while are familiar with the Belaz brand. This is because in the early days after liberation, several major mines in China bore the marks of Soviet aid.

    At that time, China couldn't manufacture large mining trucks, and due to Western blockades, we had no way to obtain mining trucks from other countries. Therefore, all mining trucks were Belaz series from the Soviet Union.

   After theSino-Soviet split, China began to develop its own mining trucks, but the quality was unsatisfactory. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, trade between China and Russia was very active. At that time, a 30-ton mining truck cost about 200,000 RMB, and a 40-ton one about 300,000 RMB. Such low prices were very popular in mines, and as a result, more than 3,000 Belaz 30-ton to 40-ton trucks flooded into China's mining areas in a short period, becoming one of the most numerous brands of mining trucks in China.
