What kind of engine does a cement truck have?

A concrete mixer truck, commonly called a cement truck, does not have an engine since it is a specialized vehicle designed to transport and mix concrete. The engine that powers the concrete mixer truck is located in the front of the vehicle, typically under the driver's seat. The engine provides the power necessary to move the truck, operate the concrete mixer, and power other hydraulic systems. The engine is connected to the transmission, which transfers power to the wheels and allows the truck to move. The engine also powers the hydraulic pump, which provides the power to rotate the concrete mixer drum and mix the concrete.
