Repair and maintenance is carried out on site by Macasa, official distributor of Volvo Trucks and commercial agent of BAS Mining Trucks in Ecuador. To learn how to drive safely and sustainably with these 50-tonnes payload trucks, the truck drivers got half a day theory training in a classroom and half a day 1 on 1 practical training. The BAS Mining Trucks trainer joined the team of mechanics for two weeks to provide them training on the job. There were two training periods: first time at the delivery of the trucks and second time when first service was carried out.
