Ever since Gottlieb Daimler's firm produced the first truck in 1896, they have become indispensable in the transportation of various goods, and real assistants in all spheres of human life.

Today there are thousands of truck modifications, differing in configuration, power, and purpose. In previous articles, we have already introduced you to the largest, largest and. In this short overview, we will consider freight transportand find out which is the largest truck in the world.

Powerful trucks

Let's start with a Swedish company that makes some of the best trucks in the world today. In addition, Volvo models are the safest, both in trucks and cars.

But the presented model "Volvo FH16" is the most powerful series production truck that can be found on modern motorways. The maximum speed that this handsome man develops is 90 kilometers per hour on horizontal terrain.

750 horses fit under the hood of this car. With such power, the tractor is able to move heavy loads, including it is often used to transport large mining equipment, about which the site already has an article.

The French company "Nicolas" also specializes in the production of the most powerful oversized vehicles, models of which carry heavy and oversized cargo.

The most famous of this line is the Tractomas truck-tractor, capable of carrying a load of 900 tons. It is clear that the speed is not very high, and this giant can move with a load on the road at a speed not exceeding 16 kilometers per hour.

It is used in South Africa, where a powerful tractor delivers huge transformers from the ports of the South African state to power plants.

We move from one brand to another, and again the Swedish manufacturers. Not inferior in power and "Scania R730", the engine capacity of which is 16.4 liters, and the total capacity of 740 horse power.

In Europe, the total weight of road trains should not exceed 40 tons, and the creation of such vehicles is only a matter of competition and the prestige of the company. The car with a V-shaped 8-cylinder engine did not become widespread, because a small batch was released, which was immediately sold out.

Note that the Swedish vehicles are equipped with engines of their own production, developed in special shipbuilding departments, and in the list of trucks this is also reliable equipment.

In such reviews, German automakers are indispensable. The MAN tractor is distinguished by its efficiency, as it has low fuel consumption, and among motorists and freight companies considered a real "workhorse".

The Germans are always scrupulous about the convenience of the workplace, so the entire cab is thought out to the smallest detail. With a relatively low weight of 6,730 kilograms, it has impressive dimensions.

On the negative side, drivers report frequent crashes on-board computer on German MAN cars.

Largest Trucks

The time has come to present the most heavy-duty trucks of our time, capable of working in the most difficult conditions of quarry workings.

This model of the American manufacturer of specialized equipment was created on the basis of the successful Caterpillar 797B model with the addition of some technical innovations.

So the 797F has more powerful engine, and the carrying capacity of this giant is 345 tons. It is also the heaviest truck in the world with a manual transmission today. With its enormous weight and length of 15 meters, it is quite maneuverable and high-speed car.

Terex 33-19 "Titan"

But this Canadian-made car, put into operation in 1974, is already history, and at one time it was the most lifting in a large family of mining dump trucks.

The Terex Titan 33's drivetrain consisted of three axles, making it stable on steep quarry slopes. At one time, he could take 300 tons of rock into his body, and with a length of 20 meters, the Terex Titan was a fairly maneuverable dump truck.
To date, one copy of a unique car has survived, which is exhibited at the museum in the Canadian city of Sparwood, so we present a photo of the truck itself.

But in the post-Soviet space, the products of the Belarusian automakers have been keeping great popularity and leadership for many years. And the 55601 is the largest truck to date, and its power and size can be seen in the photograph.

This model is unique in that it can work in any climatic conditions, without road surface at temperatures from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius. The largest mining dump truck in the world is striking in its size even in photos.

Surprise and specifications... The engine power is 2800 kW, and the carrying capacity is 360 tons. It can reach speeds of up to 64 kilometers per hour.

High-speed and expensive trucks

"Shockwave"

Peterbilt has produced a tractor with three jet engine... With this equipment, the car reaches a speed of 640 kilometers per hour, and today it is the fastest truck in the world.

Each engine has a power of 12 thousand horsepower, which makes it possible to develop a speed that can overtake the speed passenger train Japanese manufacturers.

Another fact is surprising that the fastest truck flies 500 meters in six and a half seconds.

And here is a video where this truck at a speed of about 550 km / h overtakes a flying plane:

But the most expensive truck was created in a single copy by Australian automakers especially for the Sultan of Malaysia Ibrahim Ismail.

For a whole year, designers and workers carefully selected components and assembled a unique and most importantly expensive car. The model turned out to be not only gorgeous, but also safe and fast.

Its price is kept secret, but according to experts, it is far ahead of the last record holder, whose price was equal to 481,000 US dollars.

Conclusion

The production of trucks is reaching a completely new level of development today, with the use of the latest scientific achievements in their design and system units.

As you can see, these heroes of highways and career roads are capable of transporting cargo that far exceeds their own weight. Wherein car manufacturers do not forget about safety, and also pay attention to the beautiful, and sometimes aggressive, design of their cars.

The most powerful tractors in the world are not geared towards driving on standard roads. Their purpose is to carry out transportation work in difficult conditions, where you simply cannot do without such a technique. These machines are distinguished by their huge dimensions, the highest power and weight indicators. Let's consider the features of such “giants”, their capabilities and comparative characteristics.

Power is like a disease. Who ever tried to manage powerful car, he will never be able to forget a slight itching on the back in the first minutes of movement. But power races are unlike any show. Because the most powerful must demonstrate their "health" in practice, transporting hundreds of tons of cargo at a time.

It is possible to organize a circus performance, when the contender for the title "" overtakes a light jet. As Shockwave drivers are used to demonstrating for onlookers. With puffs of smoke and fire from a jet turbine. You can make and surprise everyone with an almost rectilinear trajectory of movement. But the most powerful truck is always the most useful truck in the world.

As a rule, such "" live, work and "reckless" away from cameras and crowds of onlookers. Meanwhile, their designers come up with new power units for them, stretch the combustion chamber, strengthen the suspension, and upgrade the clutch and gearbox. The pursuit of capacity requires huge capital expenditures. In this pursuit, many riders, world-famous automakers are participating at the same time.

Volvo FH16 750 - Scandinavian boar

Almost thirty years have passed since 1987, when the D16 engine debuted on the Volvo FH16 470 truck. However, the Swedish overhead camshaft diesel engine came out so successful that it was redesigned many times. And each time it turned out to reach a new power level. This time, the developers brought the power of the 16-liter power unit to 750 hp. from. And they made the most powerful Volvo tractor. And why does a truck need even more power, perhaps 500 or 600 hp? from. was it not enough?

It has been nearly thirty years since 1987, when the D16 engine debuted on the Volvo FH16 470 truck

The more power, the more tons a truck can transport in one trip. And if you add to this the measured work of four valves on all six cylinders of the engine, then the car does not waste a lot of fuel for starting or climbing. So it turns out that the capacity seems to have increased, and cargo up to 250 tons can be transported, but the consumption remained at the same level. This "modernized and environmentally friendly" most powerful truck has received Euro 5 and EEV standards.

The more power, the more tons a truck can transport in one trip

VOLVO FH16 750 is designed for overcoming roads in mountainous and hilly areas. It can easily deliver perishable goods over long distances quickly. And it does it at medium speed. Having overcome the barrier of 900 rpm with a torque of 2800 Nm, the engine sharply increases the torque up to 3550 Nm at 1050 rpm, and only then smoothly spins up to 1400 rpm. Each additional ten tons on a road with steep or long climbs reduces the cost of freight.

It is also worth mentioning a few words about the transmission on the most powerful tractor in the world. The designers have equipped it with an automatic gearbox of the I-shift series. It is an integral part of the standard equipment and is fully adapted to the torque of the 16 liter engine. On this tractor it is possible to drag the caravans along the dirt road behind the cut wood.

Scania - Swedish power as standard

The Swedes long ago, even after the defeat at Poltava, abandoned the idea of \u200b\u200bconquering the world with bayonets. Instead, they offered the world the most powerful trucks... It was the Scania R730 that pushed its fjord neighbor from the Volvo family to overcome the invisible 700 horsepower limit. The Scaniev developers were the first to bring the livestock of their herd up to 730 horses and make them rotate at a speed of 1900 rpm. The torque is maintained at 3500 Nm, if the driver accelerates his herd while driving in a gentle mode - from 900 to 1350 rpm.

The most powerful trucks in the world are not needed to show muscle. They are pushing technology and industries towards unprecedented, dramatic or paradoxical paths of development.

With these indicators, the SCANIA R730 became the world's first most powerful production truck, capable of transporting a road train of 90 tons. Its V-shaped eight-cylinder engine has four valves per cylinder. Sixteen-liter power unit made in the best Scania tradition. Bore, piston group, separate heads for each cylinder make it completely interchangeable with other engines of the Scania family.

With these indicators, SCANIA R730 became the world's first most powerful production truck, capable of transporting a road train of 90 tons.

The wheelbase of the R730 remains the classic for long-haul tractors - 4 x 2. However, this does not interfere, and maybe even allows, this most powerful among long-haul tractors to rears up to overcome some steep climbs. What a faithful horse won't do for its rider. And if there are 730?

The most powerful Russian truck

At present, the most powerful among Russian tractors is undoubtedly KamAZ-65228 with a wheel arrangement of 8 x 8. The engine power reaches 600 horses. The domestic monster is designed to transport heavy and oversized special equipment. For example, bulldozers and excavators, whose weight can reach 62 tons, like that of Komatsu. The maximum weight that this Russian superheavy loader can carry is 120 tons of cargo on a trailer.

Currently, the most powerful among Russian tractors is undoubtedly KamAZ-65228 with a wheel arrangement of 8 x 8

Although it has a top speed of 80 km / h, it is not designed to drive faster. This strong man is about one meter taller than his fellows in the assembly shop. With a height of 3 m 77 cm, KamAZ-65228 (8X8) hides a Cumminus two-camshaft engine under the cab. Traditional in-line "six" with four valves per cylinder, automatic transmission with six stages of switching from the company "Allison", planetary gearboxes on the front axles, double crosspieces on the constant velocity joints make this car really the most powerful truck in Russia. Among civilian transport, of course.

With a height of 3 m 77 cm KamAZ-65228 (8X8) hides a two-camshaft Cumminus engine under the cab

American monsters

As much as American drivers would like their "favorite" Freightliner in different models and in hypostases got into the elite cohort of the most powerful trucks in the world, this will not happen

So one could christen any of the overseas saddles of the Freightliner family. With all its high level of comfort both inside the cab and in terms of handling, maneuverability, their extended hood is the first thing that catches the eye and causes admiration. However, no matter how much American drivers would like their "favorite" Freightliner in different models and guises to get into the elite cohort of the most powerful trucks in the world, this will not happen. While there is a sent Cossack on the North American continent - VOLVO VT880.

As it turned out, this is a regular FH16 with a standard 610 hp D16 engine. The only thing that it has in common with all tractors in North America is the bonnet geometry of the cab and vertical exhaust. So believe in the American dream after that (just kidding)!

The pursuit of the most powerful truck has just begun to pick up momentum. Who knows what surprises lie ahead!

In the books on trucks different countries phrases like: "It was the most powerful truck of that time ...", "At that time, the car was the leader in power ..." Who and when was the strongest on the road?

Of course, we will not consider here special equipment: heavy and ballast, military and off-road, exotic from tiny firms - special, often unique engines were installed on them. American trucks are also not included in the rating - all brands used the same units from three third-party manufacturers.

01. The Swedish Scania started the race, leaving the competition far behind in 1969. Her newest model 141 received an updated 14-liter V8 diesel, developing an unprecedented power of 350 hp.

02. After some lull in 1975, the European branch of Ford unexpectedly took over the baton. In those years, he was actively developing the European cargo market. His Ford H Transcontinental was a cross between an American chassis and a French Berliet cab. The engine was also American, but not of its own, but of the Cummins brand. The first generation of the later widely known inline 6-cylinder N14 diesel engine (14 liters) produced 355 hp - a little, but more than Scaniev's.

03. Three years later, in 1978, the Austrian Steyr added its "three kopecks". The updated "Plus 91" family was equipped with its own V8 engine, the power of which in the maximum version was equal to 360 hp. By the way, it is still being produced - China acquired a license for it, and the well-known Weichai WD615 is its undying descendant.

04. Almost simultaneously with Steyr, an analogue in power appeared for the German MAN "a, its future owner. The 1979 MAN F8 Unterflur had an engine with a power measured with pharmaceutical precision - exactly 361 hp And it was unusual - it was located longitudinally in the base of the car between the frame spars Such in-line diesels with separate block heads were the legacy of the famous Büssing company, which entered MAN in 1971.

05. Of course, the largest European cargo player, Mercedes-Benz, could not help but join the race. Its new flagship of the Powerliner family also received the well-known OM422LA V8 diesel engine with a volume of 14.3 liters, which in 1980 developed 375 hp.

06. Five years later, Scania took the lead in power racing again and made another major breakthrough. The newest cabover model R142H of 1985 was equipped with an updated V-8 DSC14 with a power of up to 460 hp.

07. A year later, Volvo had the most powerful truck in Europe. In 1987, the flagship F16 launched, equipped with its own 16.2-liter inline-six TD162 with 470 hp.

08. Suddenly, the Italians intervened in the struggle. In 1989, the flagship of the IVECO Turbostar brand was launched on the European market with a huge 17-liter V8 diesel engine (the legacy of Magirus, which also entered IVECO). He developed 480 "horses".

09. 1991 was the year of the French Freight Revolution. A cross between a diesel locomotive and an aquarium appeared on the tracks - the famous Renault AE Magnum. Its 12-liter 32-valve V8 diesel developed 530 hp. The secret of the unexpected appearance of a powerful engine among the French was simple - it was the American E-8, developed by Mack, which has been owned by Renault since 1979.

10. Five years later, in 1996, the Japanese Isuzu EXZ, unknown in Europe, became the most powerful road truck. The firm, by the way, by that time was the world's largest manufacturer of cargo motors. The Japanese also had their own "trick" - naturally aspirated diesel engines of huge sizes. So, developing 600 hp the 10TD1 (V10) engine had a monstrous volume of 30.4 liters.

11. The 1998 "champion" remained almost unknown in the world, but his record lasted the longest. The Finnish Sisu E18 was equipped with a 6-cylinder in-line diesel engine that developed 630 hp. at 1800 rpm. Here again the States were involved - the Finns also installed "Americans" on their cars, this time Caterpillar C18 (18.13 liters).

12. Then there was some lull - the manufacturers got carried away with other types of races, ecological ones. The pause was broken by MAN - in 2007 the flagship of the road range TGX 18.680 was presented. Its V-shaped 16.2-liter engine produced 680 hp and maximum torque of 3000 Nm at 1100-1500 rpm.

13. Two years later - the second victory of the Swedish Volvo. In 2009, the FH16 appears with the magic figure of power - 700 hp. They are developed by the updated inline D16G, with a proper maximum torque: 3150 Nm at 1000-1550 rpm.

14. The pioneer of the competition, Scania, does not give up - in 2011 the R730 series becomes the top of the program. This is the amount of horsepower a 16.4 liter DC16 V8 engine has. The maximum torque is also higher: 3500 Nm at 1350 rpm.

15. Now Volvo remains the "king of the hill" of the European road freight: in 2012, the Swedes bring the power of their 16-liter diesel engine to a record 750 hp. The moment was not forgotten either - it grew to 3550 Nm at 1550 rpm.

But the race is clearly not over yet. We place bets - who will be next?

When considering tractors, some pay attention only to power. However, when compiling a rating, it will be correct to take into account other characteristics. In terms of power, the machines are comparable to that of a jet aircraft. Given the variety of models, it is important to answer the final question, which is the most powerful tractor in the world.

The German concern surprised the public with MERCEDES-BENZ Actros 2641S load-lifting dynamic tractors, which are able to compete with top-end machines. A variety of configurations and a high level of safety are taken into account. Various packages are provided, the quality of configurations is guaranteed.
