55 tons on one go

2023 · 51 min · Documentary

The Volvo A60 is regarded as the world’s largest articulated hauler. With a payload capacity of up to 55 tonnes, it is capable of transporting even the heaviest materials with ease. When fully loaded, the vehicle reaches a total weight of nearly 100 tonnes. The XXL hauler is manufactured in Braås, southern Sweden, where around 550 employees produce a total of six different hauler models. The A60 is the largest vehicle built at the plant, and due to its enormous weight, most components can only be installed using cranes.
