This exceptional volume pays tribute to the trucks that reign supreme where the road ends: at the heart of the planet's most inhospitable mines. More than a mere book, it is a total immersion in technological excess, from the legendary Berliet T100 to the BelAZ 75710, by way of the Caterpillar 798 AC and Komatsu 980E-5, and the LeTourneau LCC1 and Hitachi HD1500-8.
Discover their history, their performance and their strategic role in our modern world: without them, no steel, no copper, no batteries for our technologies.
