The T282 hauler from Liebherr Mining Equipment Company is currently the largest such truck in the world. It is able to haul 400 tons with its 3500 horsepower Cummins diesel engine. It is the only truck currently in operation which can load a full four scoops from the world’s largest bucket shovels.

All large trucks like the T282 don’t just have wing mirrors to see what is behind when they reverse; they also have video cameras, usually two on either side and another on the rear axle, to give the driver a full view of the road around him or her.
