Teyskiy subsidiary of Evrazruda (Russian ore maker and part of Evraz Group) received two new 35-ton Volvo dumpers. This is the second portion of foreign dumpers meant for transporting ore from Izykh-Golskoye deposit obtained by the company; the first four cars arrived last November.

These new cars are unique in that they are fitted with electronic equipment allowing to keep record of all the operations a dumper performs throughout a shift, such as the time spend driving to and from the place, the amount of time a dumper is not moving but has the engine on (or off), the number of kilometers covered, the amount of fuel spent, etc.

These cars will be driven by two four-people crews; all the drivers had to compete to get the position and have already undergone additional training by the mechanics from the transport shop pf Teyskiy subsidiary (who, in their turn, took part in the professional development workshop in Volvo’s Moscow-based representation).

Six Volvo cars are now used for ore transportation altogether, and two more dumpers are expected to arrive this year, says the spokesperson for Evrazruda.
