shipped in component form to the customer site before undergoing final assembly.
Predecessor T282

Cost
Although the price varies based upon customer specification and quantity ordered, each T 282B costs US$ 4 to 5 million. Liebherr expects to sell dozens
of T 282Bs each year, primarily to coal, copper, iron and gold mine operators in the USA, Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia.
Competition
The T 282B competes directly with other 400 short tons (363 t) payload capacity haul trucks, including the Caterpillar 797F and Bucyrus MT6300AC.
Depending on customer requirements, lower payload capacity 360 short tons (327 t) products such as the Komatsu 960E-1 may also place competitive
pressure on sales of the T 282B.
