It’s the largest vehicle in the world: you even need two V16 engines to move it! Let’s find out more about this very strange car.
What do you think if we ask you what you think of the largest vehicle in the world? We’re definitely not talking about classic cars, or even SUVs or off-road vehicles, whatever the size.

Its real name is Belaruski Autamabilny Zavod or Belarusian Automobile Factories, and it is a company founded in 1948 in Zudzina, specializing in transport and excavation vehicles. It is particularly active in Eastern Europe, especially among Belarusians and Russia, and especially in the mining sector.
But what made it famous beyond its geographical and practical borders was one of its products, which became known as the largest vehicle in the world: BelAZ 75710. This model has been in production since 2013, and is only one of many vehicles manufactured by the Belarusian company, but Due to its size it quickly became the most popular.
