A double articulated thick has a front vehicle module with a drive engine and having at least one wheeled axle driven by the drive engine through a transmission and having a load-bearing bin, the front vehicle module being interconnected in an articulated manner about a first vertical pin to the front of the load-bearing bin. A rear vehicle module is interconnected in an articulated manner about a second vertical pin to the rear of the load-bearing bin, the rear vehicle module having at least one wheeled axle whereby the bin is supported by the front and rear vehicle modules. The rear module only articulates about the second vertical pin when the articulation of the front module to the bin exceeds 30 degrees and then in a synchronous manner. Typically the maximum articulation of the front module is around 42 degrees and the rear module some 13 degrees. 1. A double articulated truck including:a front vehicle module housing a drive engine and having at least one wheeled axle driven by the drive engine through a transmission;a load-bearing bin, the front vehicle module being interconnected in an articulated manner about a first vertical pin to the front of the load-bearing bin;a rear vehicle module being interconnected in an articulated manner about a second vertical pin to the rear of the load-bearing bin, the rear vehicle module having at least one wheeled axle whereby the bin is supported by the front and rear vehicle modules.2. A double articulated truck as in where the rear vehicle module includes a second drive engine driving the wheel axle of the rear vehicle module.3. A double articulated truck as in where the ratio of the articulation of the rear vehicle to the front vehicle is less then 100%.4. A double articulated truck as in wherein the ratio of the articulation of the rear module to the front module is around 30%.5. A double articulated truck as in where the maximum articulation angle of the rear vehicle module is 13 degrees.6. A double articulated truck ...
