Russia has an abundance of coal, metal and minerals - it is home to 17% of all mineral deposits, 18% of all coal reserves, and produces more chromium, nickel and palladium than any other nation.

Vladimir Startsev, chief of service at Mining Eurasia, said: "Russia is a tough market, with many of our customers running 24/7 operations. This firstly requires reliable equipment, but it also requires a lot of support from us. The harder you make machines work, the more you'll need access to spare parts and knowledgeable technicians. We've always prided ourselves on the quality of our aftermarket support. This has helped us to build a strong reputation within our sector and strike up partnerships with companies like Terex Trucks."

John Rotherford, global key accounts director at Terex Trucks, added: "Terex Trucks is delighted to appoint Mining Eurasia as one of its newest dealers. In close collaboration with their team in Russia, we'll be working together to improve availability as well as return on investment for our customers."

Mining Eurasia has its headquarters in Moscow, Russia. The company also has a repair centre, four regional offices and 11 service centres situated across the country. Startsev commented: "The majority of our employees are dedicated service specialists. We plan to use that expertise to ensure that our customers can get the most out of their Terex Trucks machines."

Mining Eurasia will be distributing Terex Trucks' TA300 and TA400 articulated haulers throughout Russia.
