Even bigger mine trucks are planned in the near future that make those shown look small. They will boast: 8000+HP diesel-electric engines, all-wheel-drive, duplex rear axles, 10 70+inch-diameter wheels each fitted with 17+foot-diameter tires, and carrying capacities of 750 to 1000+ tons. They will also boast these approximate dimensions: 35 feet wide x 35 feet tall (with the dumper down) x 75-to-80 feet long. They will be used for oil sands and construction projects as well as mining.
@glenn3rd2004 Larger haul trucks may be in the future but those 750-to-1000+ton-payload trucks may be at least 15-25 years 'down the road' as technologies advance slowly but surely. Perhaps a truck designed to haul 500 tons could be on the market in about 5 years or so....
@glennrickard1958 I think that the next step in haul trucks will be a bottom dump haul truck/trailer, but it would use a 797B/282 class electric truck as the tractor and the trailer having a pony engine and wheel motors. It would allow the use of the current tires, but allow a 500+ ton capacity. It would naturally use batteries to store the electricity generated by dynamic braking, thus allowing the extra power to pull a loaded truck up a steep haul road.
