The T 282 B is not only the world's biggest diesel-electric truck on two axles and six wheels, it is the biggest AC drive truck. This is undoubtedly the most advantageous drive for a mining haul truck today. Thoroughly proven in thousands of diesel-electric locomotives over millions of operating hours, it offers a multitude of welcome advantages.

Supposing your tyre goes?
The trucks are supposed to be driven at no more than 40 miles per hour. That is relatively slow, so if a tyre blows out it's not going to cause an accident in most cases.
A blow-out can damage vehicles close-by because the tyre is holding so much air and just the force of that...
Drivers have actually been killed by tyre explosions, but not on our trucks, thank goodness.
What happens if it falls over?
The driver usually says ouch!
What's it like to drive?
It's like driving a house. After you've been around a lot, it's not as exciting as if suddenly someone said: "Would you like to drive one?" You'd go crazy in that case! It's not hard to drive, basically like driving an automatic shift car.
Isn't it so big you could roll over a car without noticing?
That's basically true. The first time I was in it at a mine, the driver started to drive away and actually ran into the back of a service truck. It seems we mashed it down to the ground. I saw someone yelling, but we didn't feel a thing.
