The World's Biggest Truck" in Sparwood, BC. The Terex 33-19 "Titan" was a prototype off-highway, ultra class, rigid frame, three-axle, diesel/AC electric powertrain haul truck designed by the Terex Division of General Motors and assembled at General Motors Diesel Division's London, ON, Canada assembly plant in 1973.


Only one 33-19 was ever produced and it was the largest, highest capacity haul truck in the world for 25 years. After 13 years in service, the 33-19 was restored and is now preserved on static display as a tourist attraction in Sparwood, BC, Canada. After acquiring the Sparwood mine in late 1992, Teck Corporation offered the 33-19 "Titan" for preservation as a public monument in 1993.


The Sparwood, BC Chamber of Commerce completed a fund raising effort, restored the 33-19 "Titan", and promotes it as a tourist attraction. The 33-19 "Titan" is on static display off Highway 3 in Titan Park, 141 Aspen Drive, Sparwood, BC, Canada. Although the 33-19 "Titan" was restored, the engine has been removed.
