BAS Mining Trucks has delivered a start package with parts & components. Repair and maintenance will be carried out on site by local mechanics. A trainer of BAS Mining Trucks has joined the team of mechanics for two weeks to provide them training on the job. Some of them are trained to become “mentors”, so that they can transfer their knowledge to other mechanics. To learn how to drive safely and sustainably with these 50-tonnes payload trucks, the truck drivers also received training: a theoretical training in a classroom and half a day 1 on 1 practical training.
