Drag racing dump truck clocks a 15 second pass. Damn! that is hauling!

Fuel consumption with no equal

The above dump truck is using 3 liters of fuel a minute, and in one trip from the bottom to the top of this open pit mine, which is 10 kilometers, it burns as much fuel in that one trip as a normal passenger car uses in a year

ever seen VW dump trucks?

I'm thinking that the obvious problem is too much weight over the rear

axle, and if they had too heavy a load getting dumped, it might tip this over backwards.

Kiev subway construction railcars... that's a new variation I've never come across

Makes sense that the easiest way to get concrete into the subway where you need it is with a mixer truck... but I'd never thought about it..

With just the center of the hood left in place it certainly has a unique look
