14-litre 550bhp diesel engine
182 ft long
6 trailers carry 200 tonnes of ore

No...it's far too short. The real question, is with that 14L 550bhp Diesel, how much torque is it producing? I'd wager something on the order of 6-10,000lb-ft.

ya, i was thinking of torque as well. deisel engines never have too much power. i'm driving a Dodge Ram 2500 turbo deisel right now, with a 6L V6 i think, and it only makes around 179bhp i think. but the TORQUE, now thats sometime to behold :twisted:
i can only imagine how much that huge as semi makes :shock:

think of the transmission? it must be a piece of art :)

It's not the machine that amaze me .. It's the driver..

Hahaha Seriously dude. Hats off to the guy who drives that monster.

umm...no

that is short in comparison

lol...imagine doing a U-turn in that thing :D

if i remember the documentry right, they use a 28spd transmission.

Do the trailers have steering also? Agreed on the props to the driver. Lets see if he can parrallel park it.

28!!!!!!! incredible. they should have good muscles in arms :)
