Hitachi's Biggest Truck — Built to Work With the World's Largest Excavators

Most haul truck manufacturers make trucks. Hitachi makes excavators and trucks — and designs them to work together. The Hitachi EH5000 is one of the largest rigid-frame haul trucks in production, built with a specific engineering philosophy — that the truck and the excavator that loads it are one system, not two separate machines. In this video, we go deep inside the EH5000 — the diesel-electric drive that powers it, the Hitachi ecosystem it was designed to work within, and why a Japanese electronics giant makes one of the most capable mining trucks in the world.
