On 3 July the traditional military parade, which was dedicated to the country’s top holiday and demonstrated the defensive might, was followed by an event as impressive a parade of civilian vehicles. The organizers gave guests and TV viewers an opportunity to see many of the things, which are created in the peaceful and independent country of Belarus. It was no accident: the Year of Science continues in the country and a lot of innovative projects have already been presented as part of the campaign.

The parade featured a total of about 70 civilian vehicles made by the leading Belarusian and joint brands, with MAZ, MTZ, and Amkodor among the leaders. By the way, some of the models are still getting ready for batch production. The festive column included the Belarusian-Chinese automobile crane ZMC-25 with an extremely long lifting arm (33 meters), MoAZ haul trucks for underground operations, legendary BelAZ trucks, and a new aircraft tug, which can haul aircraft weighing up to 600 tonnes. The column continued with electric buses made by Belkommunmash, a MAZ-257 school bus, Geely cars, a powerful BELARUS-4522 tractor, new-generation Palesse harvesters… The parade was crowned by a ballet of MTZ tractors, which is rapidly growing popular.
