'''MAZ-525''' ('''BelAZ-525''' from 1959) was a Soviet heavy truck produced by the [Minsk Automobile Plant](/source/Minsk_Automobile_Plant). Development started in 1949 at the [Yaroslavl Automobile Plant](/source/Yaroslavl_Motor_Plant) Design Bureau as the '''YaAZ-225'''. It was planned to install a cab from the [YaAZ-200](/source/MAZ-200), offset to the left. Further technical documentation was passed on to MAZ where the design was substantially enhanced.

==Appearance==
The cab appearance changed slightly during production. On the early models, the hood was the same width as the cab; in the later editions, it became much narrower. Initially, a guard was installed on the hood sides for safety while the engine was serviced, but it was later removed. 

==Variants==
In 1952, the MAZ-E-525D was developed to work in tandem with a {{Convert|15|m3|abbr=on}} D-189 [tractor-scraper](/source/Wheel_tractor-scraper). In 1954, the joint efforts of MAZ, Institute of Mining and Kharkov Trolleybus Depot developed a trolley dump truck equipped with two D-202 trolleybus electric motors with a total capacity of {{convert|172|kW|hp|abbr=on}}. In 1964, NAMI developed a similar truck called the DTU-25. In 1959, the MAZ-525 was used as a basis for the [MAZ-541](/source/MAZ-541) aircraft tug, of which three were built. Also in 1959, the MAZ-525A tractor was developed as part of a road train with the 45-ton BelAZ-5271 semitrailer, but this did not enter production because the engine was not powerful enough.

==Production moved==
In 1959, production was transferred to the [Belarusian Automobile Plant](/source/BelAZ), where the truck was produced until 1965 under the name BelAZ-525. 

==Use==
The truck continued to operate until the early 1970s.
