Hard to resist the urge to take a picture in front of the wheels, more than 3 meters in diameter, the largest truck in the world. BelAZ 75710, a mining machine of the Belarussian manufacturer, is 20 meters long, is nearly 8 meters high, delivers 9200 horses to move the 360 tons of the machine and can carry 450 tons of ore.

It’s even worse than you imagine. They’re all run by AI and gps systems now.

Self-Driving Mining Trucks

At open mining sites, it may actually be safer to hand the keys over to autonomous vehicles following GPS-guides routes.

But they generate more horsepower than a top fuel dragster...... which is quite a lot.

Not at all. I posted this photo only for the spectacular appearance of the machine size. :)

I find this image below equally impressive ( final du 5000 mètres dame des Jeux africains ). ;)
