Power plant power – more than 2000 hp
An international conference of BelAZ entitled «Electrification of mountain transport 2024» was held in the Belarusian Zhodino near Minsk. The company presented new products there, and the most interesting was the all-electric BelAZ-7513E with a payload capacity of 120 tons. We can say that this is one of the largest electric vehicles in the world.
«The energy source for the electric giant is 26 lithium-ion batteries with a total capacity of over 1,500 kW. BELAZ-7513E is equipped with an energy recovery system, which makes it possible to replenish energy reserves when braking on descents », — the developers said.
BelaAZ says that an electric vehicle is more profitable than a diesel-electric dump truck (albeit a 130-ton one) due to the difference in the price of electricity and diesel fuel.
