Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML) has launched the country’s first 150T electric drive rear dump truck. The company’s new product, indigenously developed, is expected to address the growing demand for higher capacity equipment in the mining industry. Deepak Kumar Hota, CMD BEML, flagged off the 150T dump truck for use in the coal fields of CIL’s subsidiary — South-Eastern Coal Fields, for the Gevra Project. “This innovative product not only showcases the technical prowess of BEML but also is qualitatively comparable to any global brand of its kind,” said Hota.
The product has significant features like high power performance, enhanced productivity, increased reliability, excellent serviceability, exceptional manoeuvrability, superior operating comfort and improved safety,” said Hota.
The launch of this higher capacity dump truck will surely put BEML in a select band of companies globally. It helps not only in saving foreign exchange as an import substitution, but also the lead time in delivery of the equipment at site and life cycle service support would improve considerably,” he added.
