A prime mover is designed to be powerful and durable, enabling it to pull large, heavy loads over long distances. It is commonly equipped with high-horsepower engines (often ranging from 300 to 600 horsepower), which help to handle the weight of the loaded trailer and provide fuel efficiency for long-haul operations.

Types of Prime Movers in Transport:

1. Heavy-duty Trucks: These are the large vehicles used for transporting goods, often equipped with powerful diesel engines, robust transmission systems, and strong chassis.
2. Road Trains: In some countries (e.g., Australia), a prime mover can pull multiple trailers connected together, known as a “road train.”

Prime Movers in Industrial and Power Generation:

• Turbines (Steam, Gas, or Hydro) are often used as prime movers in power plants. They drive generators to produce electricity.
• Electric Motors are also used as prime movers in many industries, such as manufacturing and mining, where they power machinery like pumps, conveyors, and compressors.

Advantages of Prime Movers:

• Efficiency: They convert fuel or electrical energy into mechanical energy to power equipment and vehicles.
• Versatility: Prime movers can be used in a variety of applications, from trucks to industrial machinery and power plants.
• Power Output: Designed to deliver the necessary power to perform heavy-duty tasks like hauling loads or driving machinery.
