well done..you make it look so easy,so smooth..

Great video Andy!!!

you did a great job showing us how to shift a 12 gear truck

Thanks a lot. it was really helpful

I love the look of this truck

Prima! So einfach kann es sein. Danke für das schöne Lehrvideo. - Andy ;-)

Thanks for the clear explanation! The following question is both for you and Andy: do you double clutch with trucks when shifting and downshifting even though it is not required with today's trucks?

Super ,realy nice made and informative video i think that if use that gearbox for the first time ,i will always look for the 4.....haha great job on the video Andy have a good week hello from the south wales (i wait to unload there) Pat

Thx M8.. I am glad you liked it

why u hug the steering wheel man

woow good explainasation, isn't difficult to change

This is one of those educational type films that is brilliant, but still looks complex, especially to someone like me who only ever has 6 gears to play with. I would have to drive this truck and feel my way round the gear changes with practise, and lots of it...ha ha - Brilliant Andy I can feel myself now driving a Volvo, well almost. :-)

I really love everything with trucks to do! My dad have drived seens he was 17-18 and today he is 57 and still out on the roads. When i was little i LOVED to follow with him. Now i don´t have the time for that. :(

I am sure you will get into it very fast.. THX for watching M8

I agree..I also have driven with I-Shift..It works very good.. THX 4 watching and comment

nice video m8 +

good job

nice bro :)

hello I appreciate the fact that you look and those who are just getting started in this profession such things for beginners please do some videos or even a show should act as a beginner leaving in the first race which should make the how to park a truck route on landings etc and you can guarantee that many will appreciate your work because no drivers are willing multio you learn from their experience over the years and those start with regards daniel expect to have a good road response from you

to lay the first time is very difficult ... remember all this .. but good video friend .. hug

I drive '03 FH12 460 and i switch gears slightly differently: on empty truck: 2LO - 4LO - 5LO - 5HI - 6LO - 6HI 24000kg: 2LO - 3LO - 4LO - 4HI - 5LO - 5HI - 6LO - 6HI I use first gear only on uphill and when I need to go really slow for some reason. Ofcourse the I make slight adjustments when going down- or uphill.

nice guide for beginners Andy! But i will never understand this before start work on a truck by yourself)

I see the driver uses first gear a lot then skip shifts into third while the auto box only uses first on a hill. If I was driving a manual, I would use second high or even third low to take off loaded as does the auto box. Also, having driven the auto box I would drive a manual the way the auto box operates and not be afraid to rev it out momentarily then skip two or three (half) gears. For someone who is trying to get their head around this 'box, dont' think of it as a twelve speed, but as an six speed with high and low ratios for each gear.

Nice

NICE...where do you get your cab interior fixed up like that???

keep safe sir...

Thanks for the video Andy it was very infomative. So I have a question for you if you don't mind me asking.The level/stalk on the right side of the steering column is that for engine brake/retarder? Saw in the video the other one is for your wipers.

Hi Andy Meine Erste mal LKW--fahre in Fahrschule hatte problem mit Schaltung. 10 stunde LKW-gefahren und war alles gut mit Schaltung. Gruss

buen video

Aye, now I can play Euro Truck Simulator with my 6-shifters to achieve 12 levels. Thanks!

+lcmiracle as far as i have been able to determine, the FH trucks in ETS 2 are only automatic (lame). the game does support range and split, if your shifter has buttons for it. you can also use the keyboard for switching.

You start with 1L - 2L-3L then Range 4L-4H-5L-5H-6L-6H.. If you empty you can stay on Low till 5th gear.. If your really going into the mountains it could be to use the High spilit also for the 1-2 and 3rd gear but thats not often happen.. Most the time you can shift to the 4th or 5th gear before you have to split for the first time..You know with the split you have 1/2 gear available if a hole gear is to high for the mountain..I hope that helped..Andy

nice

Yes its for the trailer brake.. MB Trac is coool

Very nice now am not very clear on how to use the clutch according to your video I see you only use clutch when in high gears so meaning in low gears clutch is not necessary kindly help on that

Do you float gears on volvo's like you do on american trucks with road ranger transmission?

i believe i will understand it fast. May be next year on Scania)

Cool!

yes we have an H with high and low range and a high an each grears for back ,it is possible use the 4 positions too yes i will do one during my Xmas break if you want Pat

THX Jonas..

Thanks for ilustrations. You don´t try the i shift ? Here in Brazil, more than 80% of the Volvo´s trucks is equiped with I shift and Scania going in the same way with Opticruise, including my Scania. I like to change gears sometimes, but the comfort of automatic gears box is the best for don´t stress in the traffic . Hugs from Brazil and have a good weekend.

the old scania 10 speed range change 'box you set off in 4th missed 6th (cos by time the rang change had changed in to high there was virtually no difference between 5th and 6th) and up to 10th, you only used 6 out of the 10 available,,possibly less if there was a V8 in front of it.

Thats right.. But we never use the high range reverses gear or crawler.. As you said you can select a high or low split gear and get it in by press the clutch

why he sit so close to steering wheel?

Nice video Andy! , I want to ask you something, of course if you can answer me this question .. I school on a Volvo FH 12 420 HP, you think the instructor would be upset if I change like this? :)), What little it without half, just shifting gears, and here I mean the speed range of 3 to preparing for the 4th? It would be a wrong gesture for a beginner like me? : D, I'm asking this because I'm very impressed your driving style and how they change speeds, you think I do something wrong? Thank you!

Ja..Danke...Nächstes Mal wieder ROCK!!

Volvo Transmissions are Synchromesh so they function smoother like cars and trucks.

thank you

can you tell me please what is the fuel consumption for 100 km ??? thank ! nice video

How did you get the interior blue and white I want to do this to my truck

Cool video mate! I was wondering if driving a truck is a well-paid job. I guess there is a big difference between working for someone else and driving your own truck.

How do you get the dashboard customized like that?

good

Can you record in this volvo with 24t (full) 2L, 2H, 3L, 3H; 4L, 4H ...?

Yes,thanks,it helped of course ;) i only didnt understand this ''If you empty you can stay on Low till 5th gear.." - so is it 5th gear on gear lever ( 9th gear) or it's like 3L ? And how happens the range changing ( big or little group) ? i mean the L or H spliter you must push at first and than clutch,and for example if you are in H gear (split) and must go down in the gears,you can already split down to L and it wont change yet,before you push the clutch BUT HOW IT'S with HI-LO range??

Andy explain me please how i must change gears,for example, if i'm hauling 24 tonnes and i'm starting to drive...with a cargo i always must start with the 1st gear,its 1L ,i'm right? than second gear ( 1H), than third (2L) and so on or it isnt necessary to switch all gears one by one? i think the most difficult thing in this is to switch gears down...

Your right its for the engine brake.. Engine brake has 3 levels and retarder has 5 levels.. THX 4 watching

Super. You have no problems with the clutch? Or that someone from squeezing leg?

I-shift works very smooth and fast.. It uses more split gears then we normal do on the manuel.. Also when you use the engine break it uses always the right gear.. I been driving it and liked it very much..

THX

Why are you using 1. gear, and why are you rolling in neutral? I never use first gear, unless I'm pulling something REALLY heavy, and have to make a hillstart. I was wondering about your sitting position aswell. But everybody sits diffrently :)

THX..

What do you use the Crawler for? And when do you use it?

hi andy geiles video vorab....ehm meine frage kannst du mal ein video machen wie es in deinem lkw aussieht so eine rundumansicht? danke im vorraus lg eric

That went smoothly:D do you always use a first gear when pulling off Andy? when i drove Volvo I usually started with 2H and then go straight to 4L or if heavy i'd start with 2L and go for 3H, then go gear by gear and use the splitter on the 6th gear;)

I think starting in several gears has something to do with the differential. My car is only suitable for starting with 1L when the load is 35 tons. With a load of 25 tons and starting with 2L, I don't think it is suitable. I'm at 100km/h at about 1400rpm.

White color in the work truck? Who is it cleening for you? ))

Ok one thing i've got to tell you.... You are awfully lucky to have a Synchromesh transmission. Because non-synchro transmission the best way to get screwed is to drive on neutral... Anyway you must never and i said never drive on neutral when pulling or braking.... The compression the engine can give you help a little bit for braking... It's maybe a little bit but on a brake maintenance it make the difference....

@Bladsmith

9 жыл бұрын

Lucky? Only Sisu offers non-synchro trucks today and that's special orders only. Also, rolling in neutral will damage any gearbox, because the gearbox oil pump is driven by the engine. Aand the engine brake is used for fuel efficiency and eliminating brake fade on long declines, not brake conservation.

That interior is really weird but in a cool way.

No one shows downshifting before overtaking. Just shift a gear down, release clutch and give gas at the same time? Or maybe driver should blip the throttle like on rev-matching at car?

im trying to drive a 12+2 volvo in ets2 and i'm not sure if im doing it correctly, i start with 1L (2l when heavy loaded) then go for 3L->3H->4L->4H etc, am i doing it correctly? trying to do it the most realistic as i possibly can in that game :) btw i know its a really old vid and i may not get an response, great driving m8!

Depends on what engine it is. First truck I learned to drive was a Volvo FH 440. When I took my license for truck+trailer (gross weight was 53 tons and max weight is 64 tons in Sweden) I started on 1-lo. Then 1-hi, 2-hi, 3-hi, 4-hi, 5-lo, 5-hi, 6-lo, 6-hi, on plain road. Then I drove a Volvo FH 540 with I-Shift but empty weight on that truck was 16 tons without trailer and 28 tons with trailer. When you're transporting gravel and asphalt and only has 540hp when most trucks in the same line of work rarely has less than 580hp, it gets quite heavy.

thank you for this video.nice but volvo little in egypt we have actros and eveco and man in egypt

Does DAF have 16 Gears like MAN?? Maybe you can make a video of DAF gear box.. Andy

Constantly busy with shifting, but it must be automaticly without much thinking

Miss ko tong klasing kambyo. Volvo 440fh

Cool wly

I'm still struggling with those range-splitting gearboxes. When do you range and when do you split? You have those numbers on the shifter - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. If I go through 1, 2 and 3 then press a button and go through 4, 5 and 6, did I use the range gears or the split gears?

well first, i am not truck driver, but i know something about them...i still don't understand splitting, but i can answer your question about range....what you said is range (low or high range), and gears are: 1(lo)/4(hi), 2(lo)/5(hi), 3(lo)/6(hi)

The lever on top of the window washer, what is that? Is that the Retarder? Do you always use that to slow down instead of the breaks? Do you have a engine exhaustbreak button somewhere or is that automatic?

Infact FH uses VEB (Volvo Engine Brake) which is compression release brake aka Jake brake, not an exhaust brake.

Where are you driving?

Is it a pre-selector? The gear changes don't sound like they happen at the time when you move the lever.
