The powerful T 282 B diesel electric mining truck is the pioneer with respect to payload capacity. It transports up to 400 short tons (363 rnetric tonnes) with a top speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). The T 282 B offers the highest payload to empty vehicle weight (EVW) ratio in the industry of 1.6. Liebherr designed the T 282 B based on a concept of both efficient load management and lowest possible empty vehicle weight while maximizing payload.
