Orlik 120 Komatsu 830 E-AC

The Komatsu 830E is a contemporary, ultra-heavy, Japanese-American truck. The curb weight of the vehicle is 154,850 kilograms, with a length of 14.15 meters and a width of 7.29 meters. The height of the car reaches 6.88 meters! The vehicle is powered by a single 16-cylinder engine Komatsu SDA16V160 / Cummins QSK60 with a capacity of 60 liters and a maximum power of 2,461 HP. At the time of the announcement, series production of these vehicles is taking place in Peoria, Illinois.

The Komatsu 830E was originally designed and manufactured by the American company Dresser Industries, based in Dallas, Texas. However, at some point, the branch of this company responsible for the construction of construction machinery and road vehicles was taken over by the Japanese concern Komatsu Ltd., which resulted in the renaming of all vehicles produced by this company so far. This acquisition was part of Komatsu's pursuit of a market strategy to compete with the American company Caterpillar. The Komatsu 830E truck is designed to transport excavated material from large open-cast mines. On world markets, this vehicle competes with the Liebherr T282C and - especially! - Caterpillar 797B.
