Giant dump truck!

The giant, Liebherr T 282B. The Liebherr T 282B is a large earth-hauling truck designed by Liebherr, a German manufacturer of heavy equipment and household appliances.Designed in 2004, it became the largest truck in the world, with a capacity about 20 tonnes greater than its nearest competitor, the Caterpillar 797B. The T 282B has an empty weight of 203 tonnes, and a maximum capacity of 365 tonnes. It is 14.5 meters long and 7.4 meters tall over the canopy, with a wheelbase of 6.6 meters. The top level model is driven by a 10.5 tonne diesel engine, developed by Detroit Diesel and MTU (Germany), producing 3650 horsepower (2700 kW). This engine powers two Siemens electric traction motors in the rear axle. It is the first such truck to use an AC drive system that was originally developed for use in locomotives. The top speed of the truck is 40 mph (65 km/h). The truck costs about US$ 3.5 million. CD-player and air conditioning systems are optional, unusual in the world of professional hauling. Liebherr expects to sell several tens of them every year, primarily to coal, copper, iron and gold mines in the USA, Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia...
