Liebherr T 282B''' is a large earth-hauling
truck designed by
Liebherr, a
Germany German manufacturer of
heavy equipment and
household appliances, established in
1949.
Designed in
2004, it became the largest truck in the world, although
Caterpillar Inc. had developed a similar model with the capacity of about 20
tonnes less. It has an empty
weight of 203 tonnes, and a maximum
mass capacity of 365 tonnes. It is 14.5
metres long and 7.4 metres tall over the
canopy_(aircraft) canopy with a wheelbase of 6.6 metres. In its most powerful configuration the truck is driven by a 10.5 tonne 3650
horsepower (2.7
Megawatt MW)
diesel engine developed by
Detroit Diesel and MTU (Germany) that powers two
electric motors in the rear
axles. It is the first such truck that uses a more efficient
Alternating current AC electric system. The top
speed is 40 mi/h (65
km/h).
The truck costs about
US dollar US$ 3.5 million.
CD-player and
air-conditioning systems are optional, usual in the world of professional hauling. Liebherr expects to sell several tens of them every year, primarily to
coal,
copper,
iron and
gold mining mines in the USA,
Chile,
South Africa and
Australia.
The trucks are hand-built in a 10
acre factory that can build four 282s at a time.
