300-tonne Euclid dumper with trolley assist

This is a 300-tonne Euclid AC electric drive dumper with trolley assist. Going uphill the truck hooks into the main grid and gets a boost; coming down, it hooks into the grid and through regenerative braking puts electricity back into the grid.
Check the tone of the turbos when the grid kicks in.

@RODALCO2007 Look up Siemens Trolley Assist on Google, theirs can work on older 1400-1600V DC or newer 2600V DC lines.
