This is the largest logging truck in the world, the Volvo FMX 6x6 Hexatren, a Brazilian giant that operates mainly in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo. Its heart is the legendary D13K engine, a 13‑liter block with 540 horsepower, capable of moving extreme loads.
This monster can transport up to 250 tons, surpassing its previous version by 50 tons. Its chassis, suspension, and traction system come from the military version, allowing it to tackle difficult terrain without issues. With 60 meters in length, the Hexatren optimizes wood transport in the forestry industry like no other truck in the world.
