A semi here in the States hauls 40,000 pounds or twenty ton. So at least twenty regular trucks to haul the same load, using more gallons of diesel and taking far more time to load and unload. So less fuel, and the job done in less time, with only one driver needed instead of twenty drivers. Economically a far better deal.

For example. There is a Copper mine in Bagdad, Arizona that operates on a $2.45 per ton of copper ore rate. They also mine mine and process Molybdenum. In mining they spend big during price and demand surges. Price of copper always dips in December and it is on a 6 year cycle and has been that way since the late 19th century

How many standard size dump trucks are needed to do the same job? How much fuel would they use? Compare the total operating costs to include driver's pay.

on the 797f t4 models i ran them barley can get 12 hrs if lucky on one tank of fuel, the fuel tank is smaller to make room for the def tank

There was an experimental setup in one Australian mine where they used this but electric truck with wires above it like a train when climbing out of the mine. They had both gas and elecptric trucks working alongside one another. The conclusion was that electric was 2x cheaper to run while being 2x faster uphill with a full load. Only drawback was that the mine had to be connected to the grid, and some mines don't have this privilege and connecting wouldn't be cost effective. But for mines that do have it it's a huge cost savings.

Someone else posted it actually burns 65 gallons per hour which makes more sense. Some small piston airplanes can burn over 30 gallons an hour.

When you think of how much energy and usable force compared to 300 men with shovels.....still a bargain.

Not sure on his numbers, since mining trucks are "filled" once every 12hr shift. Each truck burns 4000 litres/shift. 8000 litres/day is what those trucks go through on average. We work in oil mining.

Pretty insane. 1gal~6.7lbs (diesel or jet fuel). For reference, the helicopter I fly for a living, with two large turboshaft engines producing ~10,000 shaft horsepower combined burns roughly 600lb/hr at idle. Goes up to around 2200lb/hr at cruise. Regardless, the fact that a large diesel engine burns roughly 450lb/hr of diesel fuel is absolutely insane. JET-A and diesel fuel are basically the same, btw.

You forgot to tell that they don't buy diesel on a petrol station, but they buy directly from the oil company and probably 1/3 price.

30 gallons per hour is FAR less than I expected. A single-engine, 6-seat turbine airplane burns more than that.

That cost to haul material for electric vehicles batteries.plus the emissions it put out. So electric vehicles aren't as green as people say it is

Nope, especially when you can't get it charged with clean energy. Best is to just buy one of these beasts and do shopping for the whole neighborhood or town, just one trip per month would be enough. It's basically new after 10 years😂

Where did you get any of these numbers? They Refuel every shift change. 12hrs. Also they don’t use road taxed fuel.

True story: There is a truck like this that is battery electric. Its job is to move ore down a mountain to be processed at the bottom of the mountain. It creates more electric energy going down the mountain than it needs to go back up the mountain (empty going up). At night they connect it to the grid and sell additional excess energy into the grid. Almost perpetual motion. Gravity powered.

You should see a hydraulic fracturing site, you have multiple frac pumps burning that same amount of fuel in not more. We’re talking over 20000 gallons of fuel every day

Still practical. The volume it can haul on a single load is equivalent to 50 dump trucks. 1 operator vs 50 operator and 50 fuel refill.

I just asked our fuel tech and he said, summer hours soft ground 10-11 hours. Winter time with idling and easy loads and hauls, 12-14 hours.
