    For our American friends, that is 633,000 lbs., or almost 8 normal OTR trucks fully loaded.
    (1 tonne = 1,000 kg = 2,204.6 lbs)

    Thanks lNf, I was gonna ask the OP to please rewrite his thread into English!:biggrin_2559:

    Actually, I think it would be neat to drive a rig like that for a bit. Just like I think it would be neat to do the ice road thing for a bit.:yes2557:

    98% of Kenworths in Australia Have twin air Cleaners, and the trucks on this job have a 19 Lt engine Cummins QSK derated to 600Hp

    Trucks with one air intake looks and performs unbalanced :biggrin_2554:
