Electric Dumper | Heavy Duty EV that recharges itself | Elektro Dumper | eDumper | #eCharged

EDumper is manufactured by German Company Kuhn Schweitz, Elektro Dumper is 30-feet long, 14-feet wide, 14-feet tall and weighs 45 tonnes when empty. It is powered by a 4.4-tonne battery – about the weight of a teenage elephant – with a capacity of 600 kWh. The Elektro Dumper’s source of seemingly "unlimited' power is unique to its function. The dumper is loaded up (with 65 tonnes of material) at the top of a hill. As it comes down, the vehicle only really needs to brake to avoid going very fast. Most of this braking regenerates electricity, and since the vehicle is so heavy, it generates a lot of electricity (again, because science), which is stored in the batteries.
