The Belaz 75710 is a massive haul truck boasting the world's largest payload capacity of 450 tonnes, thanks to its two powerful 16-cylinder diesel engines with a combined output of 1715 kW (2300 bhp). Each engine powers four Siemens electric motors, one per pair of wheels, providing it with four-wheel drive. For fuel efficiency, only one engine operates when the truck is unloaded. The truck's impressive maneuverability is aided by its 20-metre turning circle and four-wheel steering. Its dimensions measure 9.87 m wide, 20.6 m long, and 8.2 m high with a wheelbase of 8.0 m. The truck rolls on Type 59/80R63 tyres that are 4.0 m in diameter, 1.5 m wide, and weigh 5.1 tonnes each. The Belaz 75710 can reach a maximum speed of 64 kph (40 mph) and maintain a steep 18% slope (1 in 5.5) at full capacity.
