Abstract: The state-of-the-art of relevance and prospects of using alternative energy carriers for heavy-duty dump trucks as an effective way to reduce the anthropologic impact on the environment is considered. The analysis of the combination of factors (economic, technological, engineering, safety) de-termining the possibility and prospects of using alternative energy carriers in the operation of heavy-duty dump trucks in mining industry is carried out. The data are presented on the available experience of using environmentally friendly (alternative) energy carriers for heavy-duty dump trucks: electric energy, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG). A comparative analysis of a number of indicators is carried out with the identification of their advantages and disadvantages.The studies conducted show that liquefied natural gas (LNG), for a number of objective reasons, seems to be the most promising alternative to diesel of all possible energy carriers in the segment of heavy-duty haulage vehicles. It is said that in Russia, in the Kemerovo region, for the first time, within the framework of one group of companies, an integrated project for the production of liquefied natural gas and its consumption by BelAZ heavy-duty dump trucks was successfully implemented.
