After 46 years on the road retired white line fever wish all you the best rugged lifestyle
Scania Volvo, the best trucks
Where else would they keep their spares? 😂
You can have more than one engine on an electric truck, more power and even greater weight capacity. I think it’s Germany. not sure, they have a rechargeable grid while you drive
Because engine torque is always transmitted through gear reduction units (transmission, final drive, etc), which multiply torque, the amount of torque the engine can produce directly at the crankshaft is irrelevant. The real concern is how much work an engine can perform over TIME, so POWER is the only important unit with regard to any engine, as it defines how quickly work can be performed, like the work of hauling a heavy trailer up a steep hill.
MAN builded a version earlier called Büssing Unterfloor. Those had the engine behind the front axel and under loading space!
Scania definitely, I drive this truck in ETS2 (not IRL).
it's not only australia that is a lie. they in the united states also. dont see them often but have seen multi-trailers on semis
Here in Finland, in the far north, there is plenty of space like in North America, but still only the short nose trucks are used. Today most trucks in domestic routes are really big, often up to 76 metric tons and 34,5 metres. On some regular routes permissions have even been granted to 97 ton trucks. So length is not really an issue here inside the country, but because many trucks may sometimes be used in international routes too, it's better to have the cabin as short as elsewhere. It's also a big saving in ferries which almost always are needed to and from Finland.
7:20 fuso is a model of Mitsubishi itself I guess
I Always go for scania ❤
It's not a matter of strength. It's POWER. Interesting review, but many fact mistakes and confusions.
As a Australian driver I feel most of those excuses don’t weigh up, it’s cost, they are making the one model with some slight variants
In the U.S. the E.P.A. won't allow the manufactures in the U.S. to put out too much horsepower because of pollution regulations!
@truck Topia, again another video with misinformation, European trucks, have a better ride and are more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient than American trucks, the cabs on European trucks have a 4-point suspension system which makes the ride very comfortable, also the cabs are well insulated against the noise of the engine before I retired I drove a 2014 Mercedes Actros MP4 in the UK, I had to open the window to listen to the engine, just to make sure it was running that is how well insulated they are, Also looking at the fuel efficiency and aerodynamics, it's not uncommon for European trucks to return 10/12 mpg running at 44 metric tonnes(97,000lbs) compared to American trucks running at 36 metric tonnes(80,000lbs), each European country has its own speed limit for trucks, which is usually between 80kph and 90kph, most Western European countries allow 90kph, except the Netherlands which is 80kph, also to increase fuel efficiency the trailers are close coupled to stop the dirty air between the tractor unit and trailer, fuel efficiency and aerodynamics go hand in hand, so again European trucks lead the way where American trucks follow, so again I will say to you guys, do your research before making your videos, I will say this time and time again until you understand that the only advantage that an American truck has over a European truck is the living space.
Really fun passing a 3 or 4 or 5 trailer road train on a dirt road. Not.
Jobs paying 40k-50k a year are the ones cring for drivers as this pay is a joke! I drive local and make north of 100k per year
Still a lot of cabover box trucks in the US.
Peterbilt 379 best truck ever built. Followed by the kenworth W900L
Not me thinking those were spare tires 💀
ElecTRICK is just that.
Ets2 vs ats😉😉🤌🤌
Excellent video ❤
I was looking for an animated simple explanation of how a semi works and its build! this was really helpful, thanks.
Western, KW, and Mack, but I want to use them for Tanker hauling. I don't know which one is better fitted
I like the cummins x15, it has 605 horsepower unlike the puyo puyo ringodiesel 15 it has 1106 horsepower and it has twin turbo than the shacman.
North America trucks are very under powered, especially in canada where we have a gross weight of 63500kg in Eastern canada and 500hp is garbage,,and I've been driving for 25 years anything from highway to the hauling wood to construction
Kenworth & International/Navistar actually still make cabovers for the Australasian market, the Kenworth K220 (built in Australia) & the International 9870 (built here in New Zealand exclusively for us). Alongside these American cabovers New Zealand & Australia also have American long nose trucks as well, from brands such as Mack, Kenworth, Freightliner, International, Western Star. We also have European and Asian cabovers as well (Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, Mercedes, Iveco, Hino, Isuzu).
America does not have strong enough engines to pull more than two fully loaded trailers
stick is way to go!!
even and the ''worse'' european truck can ''beat '' and the ''best'' american truck in everything !
80,000 lbs is 40 tons,, not 36.
Not metric ton
@@TruckTropia Isn't that spelled "tonne"?
Grammar fix: "Why Do Some Truck Tires Don't Touch The Ground?" Remove "Do" or change "Don't" to "Not."
Well, you can't have the engine below the cargo space (flatbed, box or whatever). It would steal space. This is the main reason. Just look at the old Volkswagen vans where the engine was in the back. The floor wasn't flat and the loading height was high in the back. But almost all full size buses, at least in Europe, today have their engines in the back, behind the drive wheels. The bottom of the bus is like a basement with luggage compartment and th passengers sit above it so the location of the engine doesn't matter. Less engine sound and heat is transferred to the passenger area and the bus drives better on slippery roads compared to a front mounted engine. And obviously no problem with cooling down the engine either.
what about indian trucks?
Why is the Volvo VNL never feature in this comparison?
USA LONG NOSE IS VERY STUPID.
I wouldn't really call a "square", sleek or streamlined, but I do like the looks of European trucks. l also love the nostalgic looks of the classic American cabovers of Peterbilt, Freightliner, International, and others. One of my favorite looks is the customized versions of classic American model cabovers with extended frames. I wouldn't mind seeing someone waist their money stretching a European model. It would probably look pretty cool and be a totally useless truck in Europe. I like European trucks, but boxes aren't incredibly curvy or streamlined, well, in my opinion anyway. One thing to remember, is when you drive a cabover, and you are in an accident, you will definitely be the first person on the scene. So, buckle those belts... GOOD!
I sware at least 10 of these videos has gone in to deep discussion on why NA has bonnets and EU dont.😂
Drove a lot of cab-overs. Freight shakers.
Complete BS.
There are a few places in the US where road trains have been used
The 17 liter is still fuel efficient it's a diesel
Fuel save MAN and scania... Volvo crazy fuel use even only idle
Wow, I think each brand name of the four listed semi-trucks has its own unique beauty and home-feel interior design. 👍 I'm glad to learn about the word "side skirts" which I have always wonder as to what are their functional purpose. 🤔 Thanks for the good AI narration.
Lol.. Conventional's are liars
FSC 5:52
I'm just glad we no longer use Cabover trucks in the USA, those trucks were a nightmare,thank God for conventional trucks with tandem axles and large sleepers.
Other countries have real trains.
