Marking that trip around 20 times a day, Kuhn Schweitz says the eDumper produces 200 kwh of surplus energy every day, or 77 megawatt-hours a year. A typical dump truck uses between 11,000 and 22,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year. That saves up to 196 metric tons of global-warming carbon-dioxide gas a year. All of that cost saves only the amount of CO2 per capita of under five citizens of Trinidad & Tobago.

Don’t forget the massive amount of heat those brakes generate while going down hill and the energy needed to power the air brakes.

Unlikely that was the main intent.
Newer earthmoving equipment uses electric drive motors for better control and longer service life.
