The Caterpillar name is synonymous with heavy equipment, and this is the biggest truck in the corporation’s line-up. It costs between $5-6 million, and a single replacement tire is more than $35,000. In contrast to the preceding trucks on this list, the 797B is powered exclusively by a diesel engine, which produces 3,370 horsepower.

Featuring two electric motors plus a diesel engine, this 3,650 horsepower truck was the world’s largest for 10 years. It is a product of the German Liebherr Group, which also happens to produce the world’s biggest mobile crane.

Claiming its rightful place as the world’s largest truck in 2013, this truck is manufactured in the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus. It has some unusual design features, such as four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Power comes from a pair of diesel engines plus an electric motor, which give a combined output of 4,600 horsepower. Since its introduction, some have voiced concerns about the 75710’s operating efficiency due to it having dual tires and very heavy empty weight.
