Eastern Mining's 'Girls Rule' Campaign: A Pink BelAZ Truck Drives Diversity
The Eastern Mining Company on Sakhalin has made a bold statement with a recent initiative, dubbed 'Girls Rule'. The campaign, which aims to encourage more women into the industry, has seen a BelAZ dump truck repainted pink. Despite the colour change, the truck remains fully functional and is set to become even more advanced in the coming years.
The repainting process took several days and required over 50 litres of special 'pink cosmos' paint. This eye-catching transformation is part of the company's 'Girls Rule' campaign, which also includes female driver training. The campaign seeks to challenge traditional gender roles in the mining industry and promote diversity.
In addition to its striking new look, the BelAZ truck is also set to benefit from future technological advancements. By 2035, all BelAZ trucks are planned to run on hydrogen, a completely eco-friendly fuel. Furthermore, the company has developed autonomous trucks that can select routes, avoid obstacles, and communicate with other machines. These advanced trucks are expected to start operating in Russian quarries next year.
The Eastern Mining Company's 'Girls Rule' campaign has made a visible impact on Sakhalin with the repainted BelAZ truck. While the campaign's mastermind remains unknown, its message of promoting gender diversity in the mining industry is clear. As for the truck itself, it continues to serve its purpose while also serving as a symbol of change, and it will soon be joined by autonomous counterparts in quarries across Russia.
