Mechanical-drive truck

Hitachi’s mechanical-drive, mid-size quarry and mine trucks are equipped with either Detroit Diesel (DDEC Series 2000) or Cummins Quantum engines coupled with Allison transmissions to provide operators with a safe vehicle for creeping down hills or hauling heavy loads up steep slopes. The trucks also feature a broadly radiating frame design to distribute the stress of a full load over the frame’s entire length and width. www.hitachi.com
