Re: World largest engine
I'm sorry but it is pretty obvious that it is not a practical Truck engine, The drive to the truck that it is powering is presumably through a cassette gearbox in the base of the engine and then into a Power take off but because of its bulk the prime mover has only enough load space for a wheel and tyre,

Re: World largest engine
Just imagine the noxious emissions from this big b*stard! Mind you, you'd have a bit a struggle putting an MOT probe down one of the funnels, to get a reading
