LIEBHERR T282 DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

BACKGROUND
Once again, Liebherr Mining Equipment Co. is in first place as the first OEM to provide the Mining Industry with a two axle, diesel electric, AC drive haul truck with a payload capacity of 360 tons/327 metric tons. This is the haul truck that the industry has been waiting to receive. Not only does the T282 have an increase in payload capacity, but the AC Drive system has been designed to allow for easy configuration as a trolley system with minimal additional equipment required bringing new economics to trolley operation.The T282 360 ton/327 metric ton hauler will provide fuel savings, reduce maintenance requirements, reduce downtime, and maintenance costs providing the mine owner with beneficial increases in productivity.Basic dimensions and weight of the T282 are:

Overall length:

47'6"/14.5 meters

Overall width:

28'7"/8.7 meters

Loading height:

21'2"/6.5 meters

Height body up:

45'9"/13.9 meters

Empty vehicle weight:

443,000 lbs/201,000 kg

Operating weight loaded:

1,163,000 lbs/528,590 kg

The T282 is equipped with:

Standard Engine:

Detroit Diesel 16V4000@ 2750 hp

Electric Drive System Siemens/Liebherr
Development of the T282 Liebherr, fueled by an aggressive development posture, began to pursue the over 300 ton diesel electric truck program as the availability of components and the need within the industry became apparent. Liebherr realized that to be successful in this development effort, there has to be the proper match of components, such as:Reliable, efficient (high life/weight) structural package High speed dependable diesel engine Drive system with reduced maintenance requirements and increased operating efficiencies Trolley adaptability Tires, capable of handling increased payload and transportable Lower overall maintenance and operating costsThe design and development program for the T282 was approached from the standpoint of utilization of existing proven concepts to create a new product, not stretching an existing product to meet the market need. In addition, the design criteria for the T282 included the requirement that the hauler envelope and handling performance be consistent with existing and planned mine infrastructure.Drawing upon proven Liebherr Load Management philosophy for the design of the mainframe, axle box and dump cylinder attachments coupled with the incorporation of the newest technologies available the T282 360 ton/327 metric ton diesel electric AC drive hauler is now a reality.



trucks only,vihicles, used trucks, trucks

LIEBHERR'S LOAD MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHYAND HOW IT APPLIES TO THE T282
This engineering philosophy mandates how loads are transferred into the mainframe from the running gear attachments, and provides for reduction and control of redundant structures. This philosophy also provides a reduction of maintenance intensity, and has proven to improve vehicle operating and maintenance efficiency on otherstandard Liebherr haulers. There are four principal areas where Liebherr uses "Load Management" principals on the T282, the Mainframe, the front suspension arrangement, the dump cylinder attachment and the rear axle attachment.The mainframe design on the T282 allows loads to be taken directly into the rear suspensions on the top centerline of the rear axles. This application of load management in conjunction with the use of A710 high strength steel reduces the potential of stress and high cost maintenance.The front suspension and steering arrangement,, unique on all standard Liebherr haulers, provides a dual parallel control arm arrangement which provides better handling characteristics and extended tire life.The load application is spread over a large mainframe area using this front suspension and steering arrangement reducing unit stress and improving structural life and truck performance.The Liebherr "Load Management Philosophy" is also apparent in the dump cylinder attachment area on the T282. The dump cylinder cross member floats allowing some finite degree of flexibility between the dump cylinder crossmember and the mainframe major structure, reducing torsional deflection shared between the two structures. This attachment improves life of both major components resulting in lower maintenance cost, and improved vehicle operational performance.The rear axle attachment on the T282 also follows Liebherr's "Load Management Philosophy" through the use of a straightforward attachment of the rear axle. This eliminates traditional nose cone problems, reduces stress in individual components, and spreads loads over a large unit area of the rear mainframe. This arrangement also allows mounting of the rear suspensions directly on the center line of the rear axle, maximizing rear axle oscillation.

BRAKE, STEER, AND HOIST SYSTEM
The T282 haul truck brake and steering system are fully hydraulic with accumulator backup systems, which meet SAE codes and operate at pressures of 3000 psi or below. The parking brake system is also backed up by an accumulator providing capability to hold the hauler on grades consistent with SAE requirements.The hoist system on the T282 operates as a independent system from the steering/b raking system and includes electrical joystick operation from the cab, with hydraulic pilot valve components in an adjacent area for easy troubleshooting and system diagnosis.

ENGINE
The T282 is equipped with a Detroit Diesel/MTU 16V4000 engine @ 2750 hp. The 16V4000S engine has lower fuel consumption and runs quiet. The DDC-MTU 16V4000 engine's heavy duty design provides greater durability.

LIEBHERR ELECTRIC WHEEL
The new Liebherr electric traction motors used on the T282 have a unitized configuration, providing plug-in motor, mounted inboard and two stage planetary gear set outboard. The standard gear ratio will provide a maximum 40 mile an hour speed with excellent performance on grade. The wheel design provides for inboard armature speed braking. Applied design parameters on this wheel will give improved life cycle costs compared with existing equipment.

AC DRIVE SYSTEM
The Siemens AC Drive system utilized on the Liebherr T282 is based on technology used by Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc. in applications including shovel drives, locomotive and mass transit system applications.The AC control system provides an additional margin of braking allowing total dynamic retarding capacity up to 6,032 hp and down to.5 miles per hour at which time the service brakes are activated to achieve the final stop. The AC control system also advises the operator of the vehicles operation outside the retarding capability.

TROLLEY APPLICATION/OPTION
As an option, the AC drive system for the T282 has been designed to be operated with a Pantograph and


trucks only, trucks sale,vihicles, used trucks, trucks
overhead trolley system, providing increased performance on grade with significant fuel savings and extended engine life.

TIRES
Tires for the T282 are Michelin 55/80 R63 that provide higher load capacity in a smaller diameter tire with the potential of lowering tire costs. The 55/80 R63 tire operates at relatively low inflation pressures (87 psi) and provides package size and weight efficiency.

RIMS
The T282 is equipped with the RIMEX 6341 "Taper Secure Radial", TSR Series rims. This unique, new generation rim design is formed through machining, to provide a balanced fitment to seal and anchor the radial tire. The resulting total air retention and rims part stability provides for longer rim and tire life. The RIMEX TSR Series, with fully forged, seamless flanges, is the safest, most reliable rim built.

OPERATORS FUNCTIONAL CAB WITH REFINED LUXURY
The operators cab of the T282 has plush upholstery, heavy duty, environmentally specified insulation assuring the lowest dBa levels during all phases of the haulage operation.Incorporated into the cab environment of the T282, is an operators Pentium-based industrial-grade computer. The computer screen is mounted in the dashboard, replacing the traditional gauge arrangement. Designed to be easily read during the trucks operation, the in-cab computer provides more useable information to the driver allowing for quicker assessment of operational functions. The computer displays truck operating parameters such as ground speed, engine information, and drive system status. The T282 in-cab computer also provides secondary information by recording historical operating events and by keeping a history of system fault messages in chronological order.

SUMMARY
The new T282 diesel electric AC drive Liebherr hauler, follows the precedent established by the Liebherr 240 ton truck design team in 1982 when the company was the first OEM to take the giant step up in payload capacity. Now Liebherr takes another giant step up in payload capacity to 360 ton /327 metric tons - the first OEM to respond to the Mining Industry's request for a large capacity AC drive haul truck that can be used in both standard operational mines and in trolley applications. Liebherr's T282, the biggest, diesel electric AC drive hauler on two axles in the world!T 262 / T 282 Specification Comparison

Nissan Truck

Nissan Hardbody Trucks were the successor to the Datsun 720 line of small trucks. The truck's name, "Hardbody", refers to its double-wall bed and overall styling. The Hardbody was produced for the U.S. Market from 1986 until 1997, and were direct competition to the Toyota mini pickup. The old to new Nissan body style changed in mid-year 1986, so the new 'D21' 1986 Hardbody trucks are referred to as 1986.5; they can be distinguished from the early 720 body by their two large headlights rather than four smaller. The D21 Hardbody was a close relative of the Pathfinder.

In the US, the Hardbody cab styles were 'Standard' and 'King' (also known as 'Extended'). Bed lengths were 'standard' 6-foot (2 m) and 'long' seven foot. International markets also received the 'Crew Cab' (4-door) version with a short four and a half foot bed. Both 4 and 6 cylinder engines were available, with the 2.4L 4 cylinder KA24E being a respectable-performance SOHC engine that replaced the Z24 for 1990-1997. The 6 cylinder 3.0L VG30E engine increased power and torque only modestly, and was not available on all the Hardbody variations. Five-speed, including overdrive, manual transmissions were the most common, but an automatic transmission was available for some configurations. Both rear wheel drive (4x2) and four wheel drive (4x4) versions were made in quantity. Major options included air conditioning, larger wheels/tires, sliding rear window, radios, and rear bumper. There were several trims available including base, XE, and top of the line SE. A driver's side airbag was added for 1996 while rear wheel ABS came only with 4WD models.

These low-cost, dependable Hardbody small pickup trucks sold very well worldwide, and are still often seen both on-road and off-road. They are renowned for their reliability and endurance, with the exception of body panel and frame rust over time.

They are still available new in Mexico as the Nissan Camiones.

Nissan Hardbody Truck with second facelift
The Nissan Frontier, which is also known as the Navara in other parts of the world such as Australia, is a pickup truck made by Nissan. Nissan was the pioneer of the compact pickup truck market in 1959, joined in the 1960s by Toyota. Since 1959, Nissan is known for a number of notable firsts in the compact pickup truck market, including the first extended cab body style (in the 1976 Nissan King Cab) and the first crew cab compact pickup in North America, in the 2000 Frontier. Frontiers are currently built in Smyrna, Tennessee, like its immediate predecessor, the Nissan Hardbody Truck.

The Frontier – which is the American name for the model known as the Navara in most parts of the world – was introduced in 1997 for the 1998 model year as a replacement for the aging 1986.5–1997 Nissan Hardbody Truck. Nissan first offered the Frontier with a 4-cylinder engine, the KA24DE, but added the 6-cylinder engine, the VG33E in 1999.

That changed, with the introduction of the 2000 Frontier Crew Cab. The Crew Cab was the first compact pickup to offer a 4-door body-style in North America. Until that point, crew cabs were heavy duty versions of full-size trucks and were mainly used as commercial vehicles, although four-door compact pickups existed in Asia and Europe for decades.

For 2001, Nissan facelifted the Frontier, introducing bolder styling in an effort to make it more appealing to younger buyers. The Frontier was completely redone after the 2004 model year, which later resulted in the suspension of the regular cab model, indefinitely.

Frontier Bravado

In the Philippines, the Bravado is still under production in Nissan's Santa Rosa, Laguna plant. It is powered by Nissan's TD27 l4 direct injection diesel engine that produces 84 horsepower and 176nm of torque and mated with a 5–speed manual transmission. It features sturdy cargo hooks to secure cargo in place, a double–walled tailgate that is strong enough to slide in heavy cargo to the trucks bed, a divider well to separate cargo, and a sturdy frame guard to tie down and secure cargo in place. For durability, this model is equipped with double–walled rear side panels for demanding work. The Bravado is offered as an utilitarian, workhorse vehicle and is not equipped with 4WD.

Initially, the Frontier was considered a compact, but beginning with the totally redesigned model year 2005 Frontier (introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show), it became more mid-sized. It uses the new Nissan F-Alpha platform and exterior body styling resembles that of the company's full-size Nissan Titan truck.

The new truck's wheelbase is 125.9 in (3.20 m) with a 205.5 in (5.22 m) overall length. Towing capacity is 6500 lb (2,950 kg). A 4.0 L VQ-family V6, the VQ40DE, is the standard engine, and it produces a respectable 265 hp (198 kW) with 284 ft·lbf (385 N·m) of torque. Also available is the QR25DE four-cylinder engine, which is also found in the Sentra SE-R Spec V sports sedan. A six-speed manual is standard with a five-speed automatic optional. Both rear and four-wheel drive are available. Traction control and hill-descent control are also available.

The Frontier is called Navara when sold in Europe. The engine is a 2.5 L diesel, with 144 hp or 174 hp. The stronger version has a massive 403 Nm of torque.

Suzuki will market an as-of-yet unnamed Frontier-based mid-sized pickup that will be produced by Nissan North America at the Smyrna plant.[1]

Iveco is a European truck, bus, and diesel engine manufacturer, based in Turin, Italy. It is a subsidiary of the Fiat Group, and produces around 200,000 commercial vehicles and 460,000 diesel engines annually, and for the year ended 2003 the company had €9,440 billion in sales (revenues).

The name is an acronym for Industrial Vehicle Corporation, an alliance among European commercial vehicle manufacturers such as Fiat (including OM and Lancia VI), Unic and Magirus.

Today the company is a significant player in the medium-duty commercial vehicle and engine markets, and is near the top for sales of passenger transport and 3.5 ton light vehicles.

Iveco became the All Blacks' global sponsor in January 2007

History

The company is dominated by FIAT Group, and was created on 1st January 1975 by FIAT manager and mechanical engineer Bruno Beccaria (1915-2001) through the merger of five companies operating in Italy, France and Germany; Fiat Veicoli Industriali (located in Turin), OM (Brescia), Lancia Veicoli Speciali (Bolzano), Unic (Trappes) and Magirus (Ulm).

In 1990, IVECO acquired 60% of ENASA, a leading truck manufacturer and makers of Pegaso brand of commercial vehicles in Spain. This marked a very important step in the history of IVECO since it became a local brand in all the leading European markets. With this acquisition, IVECO expanded its manufacturing locations to Barcelona, Valladolid and Madrid in Spain. Numerous important steps have marked its evolution since then.

In its early years, the company focused on rationalizing, integrating and optimizing the various manufacturing and commercial structures that had been independent until then, and the first centralized functional structure emerged. From a marketing viewpoint, these years saw the launch of the Daily (1978), the Turbo (1981) and the Turbostar (1984), three vehicles that symbolized Iveco's entrepreneurial success in Europe.

Iveco had to overcome a crisis in the early 1990s, a new period of change began, fuelled by increasingly fierce competition. In order to respond more effectively to the growing specialization of the market, Iveco broke its structure down into specialist corporate units that addressed specific customers divided by product type. In those years, the company continued to boost its strategic presence in the world. In 1992 Iveco purchased the Ital company, International Trucks Australia Limited, which still plays a very important role in the Pacific Rim. And Iveco Mercosul was created in Brazil in 1997, an essential base for manufacturing and distribution operations all over South America.

In 1995 the EuroClass luxury coach was voted International Coach of the Year, and in 1999 Iveco and Renault decided to combine their efforts in the public transport field by merging their respective bus operations. This merger included companies such as Heuliez and Karosa, and the result was Irisbus, one of the major manufacturers in the passenger transport sector, which was further strengthened by the acquisition of the Hungarian company Ikarusbus.

Constantly growing attention was paid in those years to the integration of products and services, both to respond comprehensively to customers' requirements and to combat the extremely cyclic nature of the automotive market. This strategy led to the creation of Transolver in 1997, which took Iveco into the world of financial services.

On the commercial front, in 1998 the EuroCargo, which was sold in over ninety countries and led the market in Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria and Slovenia, was voted the "Best Imported Truck" in Germany. In 2000 it was the light segment that won awards, when the Daily was voted "International Van of the Year", and the one-millionth vehicle left the assembly line. In 2006 it was produced the Ducato and the Scudo. In 2007 it produced the Fiorino. Today Iveco has 49 factories, 15 research and development facilities, 840 dealers, 31,000 employees, and is in 19 countries. 40% of the engines Iveco manufactures go to Iveco vehicles, 60% are sold as OEM units for automotive, industrial, agricultural, marine, and power generation applications. It is a major European producer of fire-fighting vehicles.

In 2007, Iveco announced plans to enter the United States truck market.[2]
