Liebherr T284 Off-highway trucks tech specs

Overview

The Liebherr T284 (2012–2026) is an ultra-class off-highway dump truck aimed at large mining operations where moving more than 360 tonnes per cycle is routine. Its 605-ton operating weight and 363-ton payload put it directly against trucks such as the Terex MT and Belaz 7560. The MTU 20V4000 C22 produces 2,574 kilowatts and 15,000 Nm of torque, while Liebherr's Litronic Plus AC drive system handles power delivery through repeated loaded haul cycles.

Expert rating: 4 stars

Performance & Efficiency

The MTU 20V4000 C22 produces 2,574 kilowatts and 15,000 Nm of maximum torque, providing the output needed to move a 363-ton payload through demanding mine haul cycles. The Liebherr Litronic Plus AC drive system manages power transfer under sustained loading, while the 57 km/h maximum forward speed is geared toward controlled high-capacity hauling rather than outright travel speed. The dump body raises in 32 seconds and lowers in 18 seconds, while hydraulic relief pressure is rated at 207 bar.

In Comparison

Terex MT: Carries the same 363-ton payload and offers a higher stated 64 km/h maximum speed and 2,797-kilowatt engine output, while also using AC electric drive.
Belaz 7560: Carries a slightly lower 360-ton payload but provides 2,800 kilowatts and a 64 km/h maximum speed with an AC electromechanical drive system.
Liebherr T284: Matches the Terex MT in payload and slightly exceeds the Belaz 7560, while relying on Liebherr's Litronic Plus AC drive system and a 5,351-liter fuel tank for long production shifts.

Final Verdict

Rated 4 stars, the Liebherr T284 is a capable ultra-class mining truck within the AED 18,000,000–25,000,000 range. Its 363-ton payload, 2,574-kilowatt engine, 15,000 Nm of torque, and Litronic Plus AC drive make it well suited to large mining fleets, although its lower maximum travel speed and 32-second body raise time leave some room for competitors to gain time during certain haul cycles.
