The MHD G2 SPE has 20 driven axle lines and an electronic multi-mode steering system. The vehicle delivered to Addax has been specially treated for the tropical climate, high temperatures and salty air. The machine used a zinc dust primer as a base and coated with polyurethane, and painted using environmentally compatible topcoat. Nicolas said that with its 46t axle load and the ability to also accommodate extremely concentrated loads meant the vehicle was suited for use in operations of the oil and gas industry.

Addax Petroleum is part of the Sinopec Group, the largest oil refining group of companies in Asia, and operates production facilities in Africa, Middle East and the North Sea.
