Bell B40E
The Bell B40E articulated truck succeeds the D-series B40D with improved performance and fuel efficiency with up to 10% lower cost per ton. It’s a perfect truck for many plant and quarry fleets due to its greater power and increased payload, which delivers the best power-to-weight ratio in the industry at 5.37 kW/ton.

Bell B40E Features
The Bell B40E articulated dump truck is a culmination of a five-year research and development program that allowed Bell to be meticulous with its evolution. As a result, the B40E has been engineered to handle future emissions requirements and incorporates the latest developments in 6×6 technologies that give you more in the way of performance and fuel efficiency improvements.
The B40E uses the proven Allison transmission, and the switch from a 6-speed (standard in the B40D) to a 7-speed delivers greater efficiency and performance.
