The Belarus pavilion showcased modern equipment and technological developments reflecting the broad expertise of Belarusian industry. In particular, a model of a MAZ gas chassis was presented, with a 6x6 wheel configuration and an engine running on compressed natural gas. It is designed as a base for building vehicles for various purposes for use on public roads and off-road. Among the technological novelties is the high-capacity BELARUS 5425 tractor with 542 hp, one of the most powerful tractors in the world in its category.
Remote equipment control solutions received separate attention: high-ranking guests were shown an interactive driver-operator workstation with a remote control system that provides a direct communication channel and enables real remote control of a BelAZ quarry dump truck. Also among the innovative developments presented were a prototype unmanned helicopter with optional piloting capability, the FLY-TRUCK, and a system for applying crop protection products, the SKY AGRO X2 from the Unmanned Helicopters Design Bureau. Integral’s advanced developments were on display as well.
A collective section of scientific and technical developments was also featured at the exhibition. According to the press service of the State Committee on Science and Technology, the collective exposition was mounted by institutions of the Education Ministry, innovation infrastructure entities and organizations of the State Committee on Science and Technology.
