The main trends are economy and ecology. 2026 – a productive year for Belarusian engineering
Among the novelties of this year is a crawler harvester, which has already been tested in the Amur Territory. As well as a series of high-speed elevators for skyscrapers and an updated crossover model from Belji.
From the people’s car to environmentally friendly dump trucks-multi-tons, the world’s most powerful tractor in the classical layout and tracked harvester. This year for the Belarusian machine-building industry, whose employees celebrated their professional holiday the day before, was marked by a significant portfolio of innovative products that have powerfully expressed themselves in the international arena.
The main trends are economy and ecology. In 2026, several high-profile novelties on alternative fuels were presented at once. The premiere from Belaz is the first dump truck in the world that is capable of carrying 220 tons of cargo and driving on gas. And intercity buses on electric traction by the end of the year will go to Fanipol and Smolevichi. Noted new products and the Minsk Automobile Plant. A serial sample of the innovative hybrid tractor MAZ-X went on the roads of the country, and the articulated electric bus of the third generation is already preparing to occupy its niche in the fleets of large megacities of Russia. Both solutions have no analogues in the world.
Andrey Savchits, Director of the Scientific and Technical Center – Chief Designer of the Minsk Automobile Plant: In this electric bus collected all the latest achievements in the field of development of electric transport. First, it is passenger capacity – one driver carries much more passengers, the second is environmentally friendly transport and domestic equipment. All these factors came together in one object.
The path from idea to assembly line is short. Loud new products of the Minsk Tractor Plant, which were presented this year, are already preparing for the series.
Andrei Kuznetsov, Minister of Industry of Belarus: Next year we will put on the series, on production. This, of course, tractor 5425, 540 horsepower. Of course, this is a combined press baler, which we do not have in the Republic of Belarus. That's 30 tractors, 50 pickers. We can be proud of this because it is a truly innovative product for our country.
