“Corum Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant” (Dnipro) is manufacturing 30 freight cars with a load capacity of 6 tons for the company’s mines in March, according to the machine-building Corum Group, a subsidiary of “DTEK Energy.”
“One mine car can carry up to 6 tons of cargo at a time, has a service life of up to 10 years, and covers over 16,000 km of underground routes,” the statement reads.
The post notes that after the plant’s relocation, this model had to be adapted: some parts were redesigned and adjusted to fit universal equipment.
Corum Group is a leading manufacturer of mining equipment in Ukraine. It is part of DTEK Energy—an operating company responsible for coal mining and coal-fired power generation within Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK energy holding.
“Corum DrMZ,” relocated to Dnipro in 2022, manufactured 358 units of underground mining transport in 2025, along with over 935,000 spare parts and components, and more than 400 metal structures. Repairs of KPD shearers have become a separate area of focus.
DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets include the Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant, the Kharkiv-based “Svitlo Shakhtaria” plant, and the Pershotravensk Machine-Building Plant.
