It is a hybrid.

With its 15’ diameter tires it can crush electric cars AND buses.

Paraphrased from an ‘Extreme Trucks’ Website:

The Terex Titan is the largest tandem-axle dump truck ever built. It is powered by a 16 cylinder locomotive engine that delivers 3300 horsepower. This is combined with a huge generator which delivers power to 4 traction engines, one located at each of its rear wheels. The generator produces enough power to supply 250 homes with electricity.

Terex Titan Specifications:

Height: 22.5 ft Height With Box Raised: 56 ft
Length: 66 ft Width: 25 ft
Weight: 260 tons Payload: 350 tons
Max Weight: 610 tons
Horse Power: 3300

Its Tires are 11.5’ in diameter and weigh 4 tons each.

Two greyhound buses and two full-size pick-up trucks can fit in its dump bed at the same time.

...I suppose the traction engines would qualify it as a ‘true’ hybrid...
