After a successful introduction at Conexpo-Con, the new John Deere 460E ADT joins the 370E and 410E as part of the cutting-edge E-Series. The E-Series ADT is customer driven dump trucks with operator friendly control which have been developed in cooperation with road builders, site developers, and the mining, quarry and aggregate segments. This allowed creating three trucks that are purpose-built to reliably handle various payloads and move materials faster and more efficiently on any jobsite in the world.

Here we get to the technical filling of the E-Series. ADTs feature a John Deere PowerTech™ 13.5L IT4 engine with three power levels based on the model – 422 hp as for 370E, 443 hp for 410E, and 481 hp for 460E model.
