Abstract: The force diagram of mining dumping truck at work whose rear wheels are the driving ones is analyzed. The power and fuel economic performance of mining dumping trucks are established based on ADVISOR software. The acutal test of the mine dumping truck is made on the maximum speed, standing start continuous acceleration time and fuel consumption at uniform speed. The result of comparison with the virtual test one shows only a very small difference between them. The virtual test result can be trusted, thus providing a basis for the virtual design of the mine dumping truck.

Key words: Mine dumping truck, Virtual test, Power performance, Fuel economy
