The couple saw the mining vehicles exhibited in the demonstration site, took a guided tour around the production floors and took a ride in a 450-tonne rock hauler around the testing ground. “We give an opportunity to our guests of honor to get behind the wheel of such a huge truck and feel its power,” the company said.
