New artic truck will run like a Deere

摘要

The first all-Deere articulated dump truck (ADT) will also be the largest Deere-branded "artic" ever. "Customers who now have 40-ton artics can use the 460E to get one more full excavator bucket into the truck," says Mark Oliver, ADT product marketing manager for John Deere Construction and Forestry. Announced at CON EXPO-CON/AGG 2011, the 46-ton-capacity truck will be the first ADT completely designed by John Deere, incorporating a Deere 13.5-liter engine, Deere wet-clutch axles and a ZF drive line. Prior John Deere articulated trucks have a Bell Equipment heritage, an alliance that will continue with some of Deere's smaller models.
