That's cause compared to anything America truck manufacturers are making it looks like it's from the future, look at how they don't need all those ridiculous emissions controls cause what they have on is like two generations of emissions ahead. America should remove these import restrictions for such vehicles such as tractor heads, competition is good for Innovation, the reason why Americans don't get these cool features is cause the manufacturers know they will not be facing any competition cause they have the monopoly on the truck market as opposed to Europe where even the Chinese and Japanese are competing with the European manufacturers thus keeping everyone honest. The euro trucks are just ahead on technology that's just a fact cause they have to deal with all types of terrain from mountainous roads to twisty and winding roads to heavy loads in different countries some trucks in Finland and Sweden do 80 to 120 tonnes and that's where these 700 HP+ trucks excel.

The Englishman taking a Scania in a heartbeat tells me more than enough about the difference between Euro and American trucks. He's been driving in America (as in the continent) for long enough that he is now dying for a Euro truck again; as seen in his entire body language.

[@b-trucker7717]

Maybe cause he's European,so of course hes gonna stick with his European trucks like back home,ask a real driver would he sell his kenworth or long nose pete for that little Scania thing,some of us likes looks,power,longevity of the vehicle,cat motors,nice ride with airbags on the front,and not be a first one site after a crash😁

[@LogiForce86]

@b-trucker7717 Scania has looks, definitely has power, has longevity, and is much safer than you think. Also, the Volvo FH6 just got launched in Europe, and it has 780HP from the factory. Scania will probably try to match that with their next truck series release. CAT motors are definitely not the best available engines when you look on the global market. The only thing holding the US market back is its refusal of the metric system and the consequence of thus needing tools with fractions. To each their own, but I think the Englishman who has lived and worked abroad for roughly 20 years is certainly less stubborn and set in his ways than you who is only speaking from prejudice instead of experience.

[@b-trucker7717]

@LogiForce86 well definitely it doesn't have the looks of a truck,it's kinda like a boy going to a country music club but dressed like he's in a rave party them trucks only looks good in the longline edition the style of thst longline is more pleasing.

​​@@b-trucker7717nah, he has experience on both styles of truck, and he'd pick the better too. Also, Euro trucks pull more weight, have far more power (770whp from factory, US trucks have no chance), and the new Scania engines with far less emissions bs are more reliable than any current Cat. That "little" Scania would bring a world of hurt for pretty much any US truck.

[@ytzpilot]

In New Zealand we don’t have import restrictions, we can drive any truck from anywhere so we have the greatest mix of American, European and Japanese trucks. It’s crazy that Scania isn’t available in the USA but that’s protectionism. We don’t make anything so we don’t protect anything, we just grow food for the world instead

[@roadrunner681]

Thats not it because paccar is basically sweedish, most of our equipment is European too like case and duetz

[@ytzpilot]

@ but the difference is we have no restrictions, absolutely none, we can bring in anything and drive it as long as it passes safety, left hand drive right hand drive, new used it doesn’t matter. Most of our used car and truck market is vehicles coming off lease in Japan and they bring them into New Zealand to resell, therefore we have the largest range of vehicles anywhere in the world

[@VoxelLoop]

@@roadrunner681 The issue is the same as with buses if I recall, in the US there's a lot of preference on 'Built American', whereas the vast majority of the world believes in competition forcing advancement. If these Euro trucks were in the US, it would absolutely force US-based manufacturers to up their game. Same for buses if they allowed say Mercedes, MAN, Iveco, etc. instead of just national brands.

I am very glad you said that. I was going to until I found your comment. I do agree. He does act like Scanias are the greatest things in the trucking industry since sliced bread, and then he wants to "Americanize" this one. WTF! Watching him with his Scanias and when he goes to Europe, and seeing how giddy he gets over them, reminds of a kid in a candy shop. I have said all along that if Scanias impress him that much, he should just pack up and move to Europe. Then he will be around Scanias all day, every day. But, here's the thing. Everything he gets into, he gets tired of. He built the truck he named the "Tratter Taxi", and when he grew tired of it, he sold it. The same with the Freightliner he called "Blue Collar". He no longer has the pull truck he was crazy about as well as all the Dodges he fooled with. He was in seventh heaven over the Ram he had until he decided to trade it off for the General Motors truck he has now. And I believe I heard him make a negative comment about it recently. It will probably be gone soon. And lastly, there is "Brutus". He speced it as a heavy hauler, and even added a third axle himself to do so, and then ordered that Globe RGN 70 tonner for heavy hauling that he waited a long time to take delivery of, and I don't believe the whole unit has ever left the yard with a heavy haul. As a matter of fact, it has hardly left the yard at all.

I’m European, Dutch to be exact and I grew up with Scania! Now I’m retired, but for me Scania is one of the best trucks in the world. I see here that many people criticize Bruce Wilson, but I think he is an excellent ambassador for Scania, he knows his business and Scania didn’t send him a Scania truck just for the sake of sending a truck!!!

[@djremotion2]

Brand Ambassador’s are allowed to read the manual. You have million people in the audience listening. Coming prepped is not wrong. Most of that seemed to be now on it’s way to get fixed, great to hear. IMHO It is also better to come without trailer and say that you had missing piece of puzzle and you want to do it properly. Rather than make modifications in hurry to meet some arbitrary deadline. It is very common this deadline thinking in USA, whether it is Teutul’s building bikes in anger or youtubers building cars for SEMA. None of those work in real life, because they were hurried, done without proper sleep and mistakes were made. I think most people there are just interested to see the truck, from fifth wheel backwards it is just the same that they are common regardless.

My dad was a UK truck driver who drove Scania trucks (or "lorries" as we usually call them on this side of the pond) for most of his working life. As a kid, I occasionally had the chance to go away with him in the lorry for a day or two, travelling from Scotland, to various places around England, which usually meant one or two nights stay in the sleeper cab, which had a fold down top bunk bed. My dad loved his Scanias and would have been really proud watching you American truckers react so enthusiastically about the big V8 Scania! He sadly passed away a couple of years ago, but this video brought back some fond memories of him and getting to ride in his Scania. Good luck with the truck shows and maybe you could help get a few more Scanias shipped over to the USA!

And it's not limited to truckers or low-wage workers, people simply don't read the manual when they get new equipments, especially when they believe they already know how the equipment works. Nobody reads the manual of their new car, they just turn the key and drive around. Yes, it isn't optimal. But it's also something you have to contend with IRL. Best way is have someone at the company read the manual, then have them take the other personnel around to explain what does what. And a quick guide for the main functions, but if it's over 1 page it won't be used.

Hi all. I’m a 52 year old Englishman. I’ve been watching some of the videos from you American truckers and am amazed at just how far behind the American truck technology really is. I think you’re probably closer to 30 years behind. I first started driving class 1 HGV in the UK 30 years ago and was using English trucks such as ERF and Foden that had Eaton gearboxes that were driven much like the trucks that are still being produced by the American companies today. While I do miss those trucks the trucks we have now in Europe are far more technologically advanced from the 90’s. Auto gearboxes which are very effective and efficient. Air ride from front to back with air ride cabs. Not to mention the difference in the power of the Euro trucks compared to our American counterparts. I’m just surprised that time seems to have stood still in the Research and Development departments of the great American truck manufacturers. AND FOR THE RECORD……. I do love American trucks. I’m a trucker and love trucks of all kinds. So much it drives the wife nuts! Happy New Year to you all!

In hard crash european trucks have floating cab that can separate and continue traveling on extreme hard ”brick wall” type of impact. So the cab is mounted on rubber and does continue as separate unit in those situations and the curtain airbags keep owner safe and driver will not have to endure deadly G-forces, because bolts are tested to shear before that and let the cab kinda fly and land on it’s own few meters longer than where the truck front impacted.

All the accessories in that shop look oldscool, you cant put any of that on a scania, you need black europeean stacks, aluminium cowcatcher, and a europeean light-pack

It'll look like a funfair truck lol

Hi Bruce I am really enjoying the ups and down, this is great feedback for Scania on what they need to do before entering the USA. Well done 👏

[@HenkBrandjes]

Peterbild looks like they came from 1945 haha Scania looks so good and it looks so big 😂😂💪🏼💪🏼

[@deanoc8551]

@Bruce Wilson... I'm old school. I always read the manual. I'm not trying to tell you how to suck eggs, but drop the trailer, and weigh the unit on it's own... Then you'll know what to do to move the weight off the axle.

[@cjmillsnun]

61,200lb is 27,760kg. In the UK that Scania is rated for 44,000kg or 97,000lbs. You aren't heavy at all. Please stop trying to Americanize the truck. Do it on your Scania, not Scania's Scania.

In Sweden we use that truck with a maximum allowed weight of 159.000 pounds. I have myself run a truck transporting booze with 67 euro pallets exceeding 160.000 pounds. Then you need the v8. And then we have very snowy roads in the winter in the northern part of Sweden. Then it’s good to have the tandem drive as well. Just saying; Driving the newer Scanias is more like driving a nice BMW than a truck. … and everything that you need is exactly where you find it. Increadible! In Sweden we can have trucks up to 34 meters but still limited to 160.000 pounds.

[@jacobcopeland1922]

It's more his truck than your so shut up, your just a hater it's his truck to do as he pleases that's why he is going to modify it and drive it tow with it and nothing you say id going to change that.

[@larsmeijerink5471]

The UK is even pretty light on the loads. In NL we do 52.5T on 5 axles total. And 65t on at least 7. UK axleloads are really low. This truck in it self can legally be 32t max without trailer. (2x11.5 1x9t) in the UK a drive axle can only be 10t

[@5.0h76]

We can pull more weight than that in america

[@Lonewolf8012]

@@jacobcopeland1922 Its not his truck at all, he even says so in the building videos..

[@explorernate]

15,180lbs on the front axle sounds right to me. UK trucker here. My rig with trailer will be 34,600lbs(converted from KG) empty, of which I’d expect 13-15,000lbs on the front. Thats where all the weight of the cab and engine and everything is. The drive axle and tag axle are for trailer load, the cab is much further forward than US style.

[@silentepsilon888]

yeah, it makes sense because on cabover designs the weight distribution is significantly different and more weight is shifted over the front axle.

[@user-jf1lq7kg4w]

Thank you for the wonderful video! I subscribed to the channel from Japan😊

[@21stcenturymetal31]

That's a badass truck. Everyone seems to think so as well. I want one now lol

[@247roasted]

little added info regarding the 40 metric ton/ 90k pounds on one drive axle (around 15:40) : europe uses (non-slideable) 3 axle trailers for almost any application, so its still on 5 axles overall

[@Henrik-fr2rp]

in sweden are allowed 64 tones (140,000 pound) and 34.5 meters long (113 feet)

[@larsmeijerink5471]

​@@Henrik-fr2rpno you are not allowed too do that on 5 axles

[@larsmeijerink5471]

Dont forget too mention, that we do that on 12 tires, not 18. In the US they drive with those stupid double airaxles
