15 Largest Vehicles in the World

having any kind of vehicle makes life a lot easier you can get from a to b without any hassles at all but what if you were able to operate a massive vehicle what a buzz that could offer [Applause] from a 600 foot submarine to a 0.7 mile train here are 15 of the largest vehicles in the world number 15 the american dream limo raise your hand if how you parallel park is by finding a space that doesn't make you do it sometimes even parallel parking an average car is tricky but imagine trying to park this car the american dream is a 1976 cadillac el dorado that is over 100 feet long it has a hot tub helipad and many other over-the-top amenities that you certainly don't see in everyday cars the man behind this crazy build is jay orberg a hollywood car customizer who had the dream back in the 1990s to build the longest car he definitely succeeded because it was so long it ended up earning him the title of producing the world's longest car in the guinness book of world records it can comfortably seat 75 people and set the scene for jay to create many other unique vehicles for celebrities somehow though this great car ended up rotting away in a parking lot maybe its driver got tired of trying to find somewhere to park it fortunately autozium in mineola new york rescued the car and the experienced team was in the process of restoring it to its former glory before we go on like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or this centipede will crawl on your face when you're sleeping number 14 the auto tram extra grand bus you might think that getting a lot of people from a to b is easy just put them on a plane or a train and let the public transport system work its magic but not every city has been designed with roads and rail lines that can cater to such networks so it would be best if you just thought outside the box fraunhofer ivi vitor electric drive gmbh and the technical university dresden got together to create the auto tram extra grand it is a 199 foot long bus that can seat 96 people and has a standing capacity of 256. it's no ordinary bus that's for sure when you see it coming it's a bus followed by another bus followed by half a bus it bends around corners and borrows much of its technology from other forms of transport like trains it has four guided axles and you can steer it in drive or reverse like an average bus electro hydraulic actuator systems control three of its four axles and a computer system makes sure all the carriages of the bus follow like a train the kicker is that this bus is a hybrid electric vehicle it has two diesel power packs with eight cylinder and six cylinder generators these produce 235 and 220 kilowatts it can even travel five miles just on battery power alone number 13 the mil me 26 helicopter when you've got a very important job to do you need some of the best equipment and for many that's the mill me 26 one of the largest and most powerful helicopters this helicopter is a russian and soviet transport helicopter that both military and civilian operators can use a heavier version of it known as the mill me 12 was in the development stage but it remained incomplete work began on this helicopter in the 1970s and it was known as isdalai 90 or project 90. it was later referred to as mi26 which is its well-known name today this helicopter was designed to have an empty weight of less than half of its maximum takeoff weight and has a payload of up to 44 000 pounds marat tashenko who was the protege of mikhail mill designed this impressive machine there are 316 of them in existence since 2015 and they are worth every penny they cost between 20 and 25 million dollars to own it has an 8 blade main lift rotor and is capable of flying on one engine in the event of power loss number 12 world's largest dump truck let's face it any dump truck is quite large especially when you compare to a regular car or a person but the bell az-75710 produced by bel-a-z and belarus is something altogether different in 2016 it was labeled the world's largest and highest payload capacity haul truck let's put that into perspective because from photos you may not get a proper understanding of just how massive this truck is it's the length of two double decker buses end to end and weighs more than an airbus a380 full of people and luggage and if you think a formula one racing car is powerful then this truck is six times more powerful it can carry a 450 ton load weighs 450 tons on its own and runs on a diesel electric transmission system its two 16 cylinder diesel engines are able to drive the generators that power four electric motors driving this dump truck would be any truck lover's dream while it has a reasonably standard two axle setup it also has double the wheels with four to an axle it also has four-wheel drive along with four-wheel hydraulic steering which car people know is not normal number 11 the biggest bulldozer when you've got a big job to do you need big equipment and what better than the world's biggest bulldozer with 1150 horsepower the komatsu d575a from osaka japan has been the largest bulldozer in production since 1991. you can buy it as a tractor crawler a bulldozer slash ripper or as a bulldozer on its own there are two models and both can move an astounding 90 cubic yards of material in a single pass with a standard blade if that's not impressive we don't know what is the superdozer produced by kamatsu is nothing to scoff at either it can move 125 cubic yards of material with the optional blade and can dig down to six feet nine inches with a single shank ripper the world's largest bulldozer is as you would expect a niche product it tends to be used by surface mine operators in australia canada and the united states sometimes though they're suitable for construction sites equally as impressive as its size is its power it has a 12 cylinder turbo diesel engine to make sure it can cut through the ground like a knife through hot butter number 10 biggest submarine in the world the tk208 dimitri danskoi is the flagship of moscow russia's typhoon fleet and it's as impressive as they get not only is it the last of six such submarines developed by russia during the 1980s but it is the only one still in regular use the submarine received a refitting and then became the world's largest nuclear submarine in active service everything about this machine is impressive it can cater a 160 crew and it can remain underwater for up to three months at a time it can also work comfortably at depths of 1300 feet and travels at 27 knots per hour because of its dual nuclear reactors the 574 foot long 48 000 ton submarine gets its name dimitri danskoi from the prince of moscow who died in the 14th century while fighting it's powered by two ok 650 pressurized water nuclear reactors and is capable of carrying 20 rsm 52 ballistic missiles with 10 mirv warheads in each these missiles were designed to be able to be launched discreetly and safely under the ocean they could also break through the arctic ice flows once launched number nine heaviest motorcycle in the world most motorcycles are designed to be lightweight nimble agile and fun you can zip along your city streets and country roads while feeling the air moving fast around you but if you own the heaviest motorcycle in the world well that's not gonna be the case at all stunt driver ray balman designed and built the world's heaviest motorcycle in perth australia it weighs 13 tons has two wheels and took three years to bring to life just looking at it you know it's no ordinary bike it's 30 feet long 10 feet high and weighs as much as an average school bus that's not exactly our definition of lightweight and nimble quite rightly the bike goes by the name of hell and we're not surprised it's detroit diesel engine is what you would typically find in a truck and it has the wheels and tires of a caterpillar and unlike most motorcycles that feel every rock and stone they run over this one's more about crushing cars than gravel the hell motorcycle was shown to the public at the melbourne motor show in 2008 and it's fair to say most people were more than impressed number eight symphony of the seas cruise ship if you thought the titanic was the most impressive and largest boat to ever sail the oceans then you clearly haven't seen symphony of the seas royal caribbean international owns this oasis-class cruise ship and by gross tonnage it is the largest cruise ship in the world it was built in 2019 in san jose france in the shantae de la longtique shipyard and is truly a thing of beauty this lovely cruise ship weighs 228 081 tons and measures 1184 feet long she has 18 decks 16 of which are for guest use and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 680 passengers along with a 2 200 person crew guests on board the symphony of the seas can make use of up to 40 bars and restaurants sleep in 2759 cabins and swim in one of 23 pools and jacuzzis there are even water slides for the kids a carousel a 10 story fun slide laser tag climbing walls and a zip line for mom and dad the gym casino shopping area and mini golf course are also all bound to be put to good use for your vacation this luxurious cruise ship is a must stay for couples and families alike number seven longest passenger train in the world raise your hand a few count carriages of trains you have to wait for at the train tracks well you'll need more fingers and toes if you try and do that with the gun in australia this train was already the longest train in the world but it became even longer in 2016. the gun has carriages two locomotives and now measures the length of 12 football pitches it is 3 600 feet long around 0.7 miles an added 650 feet for a particularly extraordinary train journey the record-breaking journey started in adelaide in may 2016 and would end in darwin at the top end of the northern territory on that journey the train could travel at speeds of 53 miles per hour and had a top speed of 72 miles these speeds are pretty surprising given that it has to carry 22 guest carriages five lounge carriages six restaurant carriages a power van and carriages for luggage and crew over the length of the journey covering 1850 miles over three days and two nights the crew would make 1300 beds cook over 3 000 eggs serve pounds of barramundi and around 420 pounds of vegetables number six world's largest shipping container it can be quite frustrating ordering something online knowing it's gonna be sent by sea typically it can take such a long time for anything to arrive and ships can only carry so much freight at a time so the al jazeera's class of container ship was a game changer quickly becoming the world's most enormous shipping container the al jaceeris class contains 12 vessels which have a theoretical 23 964 20 foot equivalent units or teu capacity they far surpassed the previous world's largest container ship at 23756 teu with such a huge capacity the ships could fit far more freight than usual which means if you ordered something quite important you might not be waiting as long to receive it the hmm aljazeera made its maiden voyage in june arriving in essex after traveling from china via south korea it also passed through the netherlands germany and belgium it took the dock a whole six months to prepare to receive the 1 312 foot long and 200 foot wide vessel but it was a momentous occasion when it arrived the managing director for britain at hmm peter levy said it was a significant milestone he said ships of that size gave the flexibility and capacity for customers to receive their goods at the right time number five world's largest aircraft the average passenger plane is not exactly small most kids will see one for the first time and say wow and they're not wrong they're huge but they look like toys next to the world's largest aircraft the antonov an-225 of which there is only one operational in existence this aircraft weighs 628 317 pounds empty and is 275 feet long its wingspan is nothing to scoff at either at 290 feet not only is it the heaviest aircraft ever built but it also has the largest wingspan of a plane currently in service but this is no ordinary plane for passengers in fact it was put into service in 1988 to carry soviet space shuttles its cargo compartment is large enough to hold up to 50 cars even after being in use for close to three decades it remains the largest plane in service that's not to say another one wasn't made a second one was being constructed when the soviet union collapsed since then it has remained unfinished in akm storage facility given the desirability of this aircraft for heavy lifting there were rumors about chinese interest in resurrecting the an-225 program number four biggest passenger plane the human race loves to explore we like visiting new countries trying new cuisines and visiting some exciting tourist hot spots that throw us out of our comfort zones and as many people are taking to the skies it makes sense to provide planes that allow as many people to travel as possible well in a post-covet world that is the airbus a380 was seen as the answer this massive passenger plane is the largest in the world and weighs 610 680 pounds it's 238 feet long has a wingspan of 261 feet and has space for up to 850 passengers however most airlines typically fly with up to 550. the largest operator of this aircraft is emirates in dubai still the airbus has failed to be a huge seller in most other airlines but that's not to say that the corporations who have bought the aircraft aren't impressed after all with enough space to fit 35 million ping pong balls across two main decks and the cargo hold it's as luxurious and spacious as they get its first flight was in 2005 and the last aircraft would be constructed and delivered by 2021 number three seawise giant the longest ship it goes without saying that to get the most freight to a destination you need the largest mode of transport but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better especially if you're the captain of the longest ship in the world the seawise giant is a ulcc super tanker that was called the longest ship ever it was built in yokosuka kanawaga japan by sumitomo heavy industries fully loaded it weighed 657 019 tons which meant it had the greatest deadweight tonnage on record but with a laden drift of 81 feet she wasn't the most manageable ship to sail she wasn't able to sail all that well through the panama canal suez canal and the english channel which are the most heavily traveled routes even though she had a lot of power courtesy of longstrom turbine technology getting control of that power wasn't easy either at speeds of 16.5 knots it would take over 5 miles to slow her down so even though she was clearly an engineering marvel she wasn't the most practical super tanker for transporting oil due to her length and weight she was also more at risk of running aground in waters and required the most experienced captain to navigate her number two world's largest terrestrial vehicle they say that if you love your job you never have to work a day in your life we're sure that if you get to operate the world's largest terrestrial vehicle that would be the case for you this super cool machine is twice the size of the statue of liberty at 310 feet tall and 722 feet long known as bagger 293 it is a german manufactured giant bucket wheel excavator that hit the production line in since then it has continued to impress five people are required to operate it and it can shift around 8.5 million cubic feet of materials in a single working day that'd be like digging a football field length down to a depth of about 80 feet you might be wondering what need there is for such a machine but you'd be surprised it's most commonly used in open pit mining and operates with remote technology it weighs over 31 million pounds and took three weeks to bring it 80 miles from the factory to the garsvaler mine it could only move at 0.6 miles per hour number one largest land vehicle have you ever wondered how the likes of nasa move their rockets around they won't just fit on a trailer or a standard truck no for this job you need a crawler transporter which is the largest land vehicle on earth crawler transporter previously known as missile crawler transporter facilities is a tracked vehicle that nasa uses to move spacecraft from their vehicle assembly building vab they then shifted along the crawler way to launch complex 39. initially the crawler transporter was used to move the saturn ib and saturn v rockets but since 1981 it's come in handy for the transportation of space shuttles the marion power shovel company designed and built this massive vehicle which measures 131 feet long 114 feet wide and has an adjustable height from 20 to 26 feet it also weighs 6 million pounds rockwell international also built the components for it which resulted in the total cost of around 14 million dollars once it was built the crawler transporter was named as the largest self-powered land vehicle as it has two 1006 horsepower generators driven by 1065 horsepower engines wow after learning about the largest vehicles in the world you're probably looking at your tiny hatchback car a little deflated but that's okay just think about how much money you're saving on fuel what is the largest vehicle you've seen in person also check out our other cool stuff
