I know the big 200 tonne trucks were electric drives but I think the smaller ones are mechanical (long time ago). They used to weld a bar across the gear shift to stop the drivers using high gear as the things can get going when fully loaded. I have also seen one of the engines being rebuilt. The fitter was standing inside the cylinder with a grinder hacking away at something
