Posting some of the biggest and the most loadtaking vehicles on Planet Earth!!!
This is the MAZ 7912..it is 14 wheel drive and 14 wheel steer..its a part of the Russian Military.


The following pics are of the MAZ 7904. This 12 Wheel Drive truck can carry 200 Metrictonnes of Weight...!! It has a 1200 bhp engine!! Russian Army Again!!

This 24 Wheeled truck acts as a Bridge for the Tanks to travel through deep trenches..not that they cant travel on their own..!! This is the MAZ 7907

This is the Largest TRUCK in the world. Its an EarthMover in a Mine in United States. Its a T282 Hauler

A PreWorld War vehicle that was made to travel on the Antartic Snow!!!
It has two 150bhp Cummins Diesel engines that drive a Generator which drives an electric motor at each wheel as the electric motors provide Peak Torque at the 0RPM!!

My word, those military trucks are awesome! I mean, look at the size of those beasts. Trust the Russians to come up with something like this.
Clarkson had done a special on those big dump trucks many years ago. One has to climb a ladder to get into it's cabin.
Just yesterday, the navy was shifting some missiles and the convoy passed by my office which is situated on the W. E. Highway. I was amazed by the sheer size of those vehicles. Even a Volvo FH12 would look puny in front of them.

I'm a little lost here.........how does an engine produce peak torque at 0 rpm??(or is it 0.xxxx rpm??) The engine isn't revving at all..... corect me if i'm wong here...so technically it should produce max torque when he engine is shut off??

The thing is...the wheels get power from electric motors and not engine directly. As soon as the electric motor is switched on you get the torque where as in normal IC engine u need the flywheel to start rotating then at appropriate revs u get different torque figures!!!Thats wat i could say in a untechnical language.. If any one can put any more info on this, please do!!

The trucks are very amazing, didn't know there existed so many huge trucks.

these things are awesome and have tremendous power to move or do things, you can't expect them to give you any thrill in speed BUT instead they will surely make you feel "I OWN THE WORLD"
