Some things can cause delight and emotions. Wow! Oh! Well, in general! This is how I can convey my feelings when I was offered, as part of a press tour to the Mikheevsky Mining and Processing Plant, to drive and look at the huge Komatsu 730e dump truck up close. The metal content in the ore is low, so for effective work large volumes of processing are required. The operational reserves of ore at the deposit reach 400 million tons. One of the largest copper mining and processing plants in Russia has been built at the deposit to process up to 18 million tons of copper ore per year. Carry, carry, do not carry! 
Initially, I saw him from a great distance, well, a car and a car, but when we drove up to him on the Kruzak 200, I was covered. Komatsu 730e is huge. At first, you don't believe it's a car. 
You feel like a child next to this giant. 
For comparison. On the right is a standard Japanese pickup truck. 
The car is hybrid. There is a diesel engine and a wheel motor. 
Specifications: Height: 6.25m Width: 7m Length: 12.83m Engine: 2000 hp Electric motor: 1,884 hp Speed (maximum): 64.5 km / h Load capacity: 183,730 kg. Empty weight: 140,592 kg. Turn: 13 meters. In order to get into the cabin, you need to climb a ladder. 
Then you are on the "deck". Where does it open beautiful view to the quarry. 
Passage to the cabin. 
Deck! 
Management of this giant, as in a normal passenger car. Steering wheel, two pedals + traffic control joystick. Back and forth. As such, there is no box. An electric motor is responsible for driving and braking. The cabin is very quiet and cool. The doors are very thick. There is an air conditioner. 
Go! Loading. 
Everything happens quickly and very smoothly. 
The volume of the excavator bucket is 22 cubic meters. Captures 180 tons in 2-3 minutes. 
You expect the car to rock and shake, but it doesn't. It is easier to manage a giant than an UAZ with manual box. The main thing to understand is that your base is (hmm) a little longer. A passing BELAZ seems like a toy. 
The throttle response of the car is excellent, both loaded and empty. The fact that you have 180 tons behind you is not felt at all. Pressed on the "gas" - went. Pressed on the brake - stopped. All. There are no special effects or surprises. There are no body rolls. Visibility from the cab is excellent. But you can't see what's under the wheels. 
If anything, you will always be corrected by radio, and extra people does not happen there. Let's go. 
Oh, how cool it is when such cars rush past you at a speed of 50 km / h. =) The spirit captures, and the heart stops. The Giant rides quietly. A fifty-liter diesel engine mumbles, of course, but everything is within the framework of a comfortable sound. Cars work round the clock, without stops - only maintenance and driver change. 
Day and night, winter and summer. Turning radius - 13 meters. The car is quite agile. They drive up, maneuver, unload. It's just like regular trucks. 
When turned on reversing, the siren sounds. It is impossible not to notice, or not to hear.

More emotions than racing car or the most expensive "luxury" car. Since childhood, I dreamed of riding a dump truck. And now the dream has come true.

In April 2018, Komatsu Ltd. began selling HD1500-8 mechanical mining truck - completely upgraded model, the previous versions of which are actively used in the mining industry.
dump trucks new series equipped with a 50-liter engine (45-liter in previous version), with a net power of 1175 kW (1598 hp). They are also equipped with a retarder with the most high rates in your class. When used in conjunction with the Automatic Speed Deceleration (ARSC) device, the machine is able to move quickly and safely down the side of a pit or mine. As a result of shorter cycle times, productivity is increased.
The dump truck is also equipped traction control Komatsu (KTCS), which implements continuous speed control rear wheels. When excessive slip is detected, the system automatically applies the brakes to maintain optimal tire grip on the road surface. This not only makes it easier to move on slippery or soft surfaces, but also prolongs the life of the tires.
The key components of the machine are the main frame, transmission and rear axle- were reconstructed according to the latest technologies and strength standards.

In its latest version Komatsu autonomous mining truck completely got rid of the driver's cab, became unmanned and received new design which optimizes wheel load distribution. That is why the machine is built in such a way that it does not have the concepts of front and back, the dump truck moves equally efficiently both forward and backward, while it does not need to make turning movements. Komatsu began testing its own (AHS) in partnership with mining company Rio Tinto in 2008, and since then the technology has enabled it to haul hundreds of millions of tons of rock from mining quarries in Chile and Australia using autonomous haul trucks.
Komatsu Haulage - autonomous dump truck without a driver's cab
Komatsu's previous version of the 930E autonomous mining truck is equipped with the remote control, wireless networks, obstacle detection system, autopilot. But it still looks like a regular mining truck and comes with a driver's cab. But a new version truck is very different from the 930E. The novelty has a long name "Innovative Autonomous Haulage Vehicle", it has a 2700 hp engine, the dump truck is 15 meters long, and the cab has disappeared, which completely changed the design of the machine. Its weight is better distributed to all four steering wheels, improving traction and maneuverability. 
New model The Komatsu autonomous haul truck was unveiled at MINExpo International in Las Vegas this week. He does not need a driver, cab, rear-view mirrors. The truck moves backwards and forwards with equal efficiency, which means there is no more need to make turns, thus increasing maneuverability, productivity and reducing wear on the 8.5-meter tires. The dump truck can carry 230 metric tons payload and reaches top speed 64 km/h.
