BH205-E has been developed for large-scale mining operations. It is powered by Tier-II emission complaint modular common rail electronic engine with 2300HP.
The AC drive system has been engineered to provide exceptional haul road performance with reduced maintenance, according to the BEML.

Other features include good visibility in addition to safety with provisions for emergency steering, breaking and proximity warning.
