Co. production facility in Newport News. The chassis (frame, axle box, engine, radiator, fan, and alternator) are assembled for shipment alongside the superstructure (operators' cabin, grid box, and drive system). All other components are implemented on-site with the customer. Specifications T 282 C The 2010 Liebherr T 282 C offers a payload of up to with an Empty Vehicle Weight (EVW) of and was built specifically for high-production mining applications worldwide. The T 282 C succeeds the T 282 B, introduced in 2004. The T 282 series is succeeded by the Liebherr T 284. Development and testing In 2010, Liebherr Mining Equipment Newport News Co. designed the T 282 C for reduced cycle time and to have the highest payload-to-EVW in its class, at . The combination of its high power diesel engine with the efficient Litronic Plus drive system maximizes productivity while reducing fuel consumption. Engineers incorporated the Litronic Plus drive system and improvements to the electrical systems, including machine health and monitoring systems to offer real-time diagnostics for instantaneous improved reliability and maintainability. The first T 282 Cs were tested extensively at Liebherr's proving grounds. Public debut The T 282 C was unveiled at the Bauma trade fair in Munich, Germany, in April 2010. Features The T 282 C standard features include the Litronic Plus drive system with real-time fault warning and detection system, CAN Bus technology for flexible monitoring, truck diagnostics, air ride seats with 3 point seatbelts, improved HVAC, greater visibility, and an integrated colour touch screen in operator cab (displays truck status, fuel consumption, payload monitoring, and downloads). Litronic Plus IGBT AC drive system Designed for mining environments, the control cabinet with integrated rectifier is liquid-cooled, and includes a ground fault warning and detection system. The pressurized cabinet for dust control requires fewer components than GTO drive systems. Tier 2 engine The T 282 C engine is a Tier 2, EPA-compliant diesel MTU/DD 20V4000 engine, configurable up to . Water-cooled turbo chargers and exhaust manifold keep the engine cool, while the ADEC engine control module monitors fuel consumption and exhaust temperatures at multiple points. Improved electrical systems The T 282 C electrical system has a number of improvements over the T 282 B, including moving the rectifier to the control box, reducing the wiring with Harnessflex conduit, protection against dirt and water ingress via heat shrink connectors, and reducing voltage drip for the starting circuit.
