[QUOTE="simme, post: 1663643, member: 40418"] Some of the giant dump trucks used in mining (400 ton capacity and 3000 HP range) use a giant diesel generator set with AC electric motors on the four sets of tires with VFD's (variable frequency drives) for speed control. No mechanical clutches or drive trains. Speed/acceleration control and dynamic braking through the VFD's and the computer that controls the speed of each axle. They are electric trucks. Just need a huge on-board generator to produce the electricity. As well as a hydraulic system for steering and assist in braking. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.komatsuamerica.com/equipment/trucks/electric#page=0&sortby=sortorder&sortdir=Asc[/URL] Conservation of energy law prevents you from having a motor to run a generator that runs the motor that runs the generator.
