Driving a Scania V8 through Osaka, Japan

[@LonewolfeE5]

Shout out to the mechanic who immediately knew what youtube would like about the truck. "Big sound" is exactly why I clicked

I've always found Japanese infrastructure and roads incredibly fascinating, and I really found it interesting to hear your perspective on it, and just to see some in general. I already get stressed out driving a car through cities here in Germany, I can't begin to imagine how incredibly difficult it is to maneuver a truck through a Japanese city. Massive respect to you and all the truck drivers out there, you guys keep our world running!

Nice footage! I love seeing the POV of people from around the world just doing their everyday, regular jobs. For them it must feel so mundane and repetitive but for us, it's like a new experience.

[@megatron3201]

03:40 The turning signal is only installed at right hand side which following JIS or Japanese Industrial Standard. So if the vehicle manufactured under ISO, the turning signal will installed at the left hand side even it is right-steered vehicle.

[@chalibard3826]

It's logical, when you drive on the right side of the road, so in most ISO countries, the driver is on the left side of the car so in order to shift gear in a turn you need the right hand on the shift stick and the left hand activating the blinkers while turning the wheel.

[@Charles.mp4]

Australia is another country that does this and i believe for the same reason and a majority of the cars that are made in aus were never exported to left hand drive countries

[@alexlycan8]

Greetings, Swede here, Scania is built here in Sweden, and the one and only other Scania factory is in Brazil. As a Swede, I am proud to see Scania so far away from Europe, I am also proud to know that Scania now exists in North America, as a Mexican company bought a few Scania Trucks back in 2020 (If I remember correctly) EDIT: Scania V8 is the most common used Truck in Sweden, and probably all of Europe.

[@nordlys6]

Sorry Sir but that´s not correct. In europa you´ve two factorys outside from sweden, one in Zwolle (NL) and one in Angers (F). For central europe the most trucks are come from the factory in Zwolle.

The turn signal sound was the reason, why is Scania my main truck in ETS2. Yeah silly, but other trucks sounds got on my nerves fast. Big sound, i love it :)

[@jonathantang6414]

I remember this little anecdote from an old timer I used to work with. Turn signal stalks are always located in a place for the free hand - left hand in LHD, right hand in RHD - that doesn't have to operate the gear shift in a standard car. Almost all new cars in Canada are autos so I'd think there's not much truth to that nowadays. But for continental European manufacturers, cost savings is the big reason to not accomodate RHD markets. New vehicles that were made in Japan then imported to & sold in Canada (and the US too, I'd imagine), like a Toyota 4runner or a Subaru Forester, will have the turn signal stalk appropriately installed on the left hand side.

[@markusmayer7956]

It's also been standardised to make it less confusing for drivers. Turn signal on the left, windshield wipers on the right, irrespective of whether the steering wheel is on the left hand side or the right hand side. This is pretty much what is being used the world over - except for Japan. IMO this makes it easier for people to drive rental cars while travelling. You don't have to think about using the other hand to signal. You can focus on driving on the other side of the road. Japanese cars in the UK and Ireland follow the European norm and have the turn signal on the left. I found this very helpful while driving in Ireland. Having the turn signal on the left and the shifter on the left never caused an issue for me. Not operating the windshield wipers while trying to signal did help, however.

[@Varinki]

@@markusmayer7956 Australian built cars like the Falcon had the indicators on the right. So did older British cars before standardization with the rest of Europe was a thing. I've never found it a big deal really whether they are on the right or left.

[@1chish]

The first versions of Scania's 'automatic' gearbox used a clutch to start off from a standstill and once moving it was 'automatic'. Later versions didn't have a clutch pedal. I am assuming this truck has a clutch pedal for very heavy starting loads. of course its not an automatic - its a manual gearbox controlled by an ECU and pneumatic valves.

[@parthic7743]

[@MultiGamerClub]

This is like a dream come true seeing this, love from norway

[@tango-retforduk3290]

Many European spec vehicles have indicators on the left because these manufacturers produce vehicles for left hand drive market. Because they produce more left hand drive cars, they would not want additional cost of converting indicators to right hand drive. There is no international law that dictates that indicators must be on the left. UK used to have cars with indicators in the right, especially Japanese cars. But because UK being in Europe, all cars just have indicators on the left now. I prefer on the right

[@tristan6509]

yeah it's annoying because when you downshift into a turn, you have to take your hand off of the shifter it's not as big of an issue now with automatics, but still an annoyance regardless.

[@richman2601]

What's funny with that is a front loader my company had the, the boss was driving it to town and he hit the indicator...but it was the gear change lever lol. For some reason there was no system in place to prevent REVERSE to be engaged during drive (D). It got costy none the less haha. Mind you this was a new machine barely a year and bought recenly. The indicator was on the right

[@PhoenixWwrong]

I have driven Japanese cars in the US (lhd) and in a Southeast Asia country (rhd). Almost all the Japanese cars I know have the turn signal indicators on the door side in both countries. I guess they choose to spend the extra cost converting, which is nice.

[@worldcomicsreview354]

I used to have a proper Mini that did, also a 1991 Toyota Corolla (loved that thing, wish I'd done a resto, but it was worthless at the time, also when we took the spare wheel out there was an alarming amount of nothing underneath it).

[@tristan6509]

@@PhoenixWwrong Japanese cars are like that by default, since Japan is also a RHD country.

[@44thparallelsouth65]

The majority of these overseas manufacturers' customers are from left-hand drive countries, which is why the light control stick is positioned on the left side. The main reason they don’t redesign it for right-hand drive vehicles is cost-saving. By keeping the same design, they can significantly reduce expenses related to design, molds, testing, and other production processes.

The winker is on the left side because it makes manufacturing easier. You see, in the United Kingdom, the steering wheel is on the right, just like Japan, however the winker is on the left hand side of the steering column. Scania decided to use the base the interior of their Japanese trucks on their United Kingdom trucks.

[@nordlys6]

Hello, now you have a new viewer from Germany. I always wanted to go to Japan by land and then by ferry, that was a big dream of mine. Now I'll have to do it by plane, which is a shame. But one day I have to go to Japan, I just find it very fascinating. You can also buy european cars in Japan that are right-hand drive, but many people don't do that. One of the reasons is that if you want to sell them back to Europe, it's very difficult with a right-hand drive vehicle. And the same slogans all over the world. The ones from there drive so badly 🤣

It's a safety issue, how do you change gear, steer and use the indicators or lights at the same time with only two hands and everything on one side 😂😂 Everything other than the steering wheel and stalks are supposed to in easy reach of the left hand, leaving the right one to be always on the wheel.

Funny, to hear about indicator on right, because in UK right handed vehicles are all with indicator stalk on left, even Japanese brands unless its import. I think HINO is only one, that you cant get with left side indicator.

[@GRamerDim]

8:20 wow i can't believe they made the ever so popular Shutoko Revival Project (aka SRP) mod from assetto corsa in real life 😲

[@nights8575]

I can try to explain quickly why European cars/ trucks have the indicator stalk on the left side. it is because they are designed as left hand drive cars and so the most ergonomic design is to have the indicator stalk used by the opposite hand of the shifter hand. since the European cars are converted to right hand drive or otherwise know as the less popular markets, they essentially "cheap out" and don't redesign the ignition column to support right hand drive indicator controls. where-as initially designed right hand drive cars have the motive to keep the shifter hand free of use to only control the gears. hence why the indicators are on the right side of the steering wheel. if you can imagine a right hand drive car mirrored from the centre it will imitate a left hand drive car, such as Mercedes with the indicator closes to the drivers side door.

[@MesserJack55]

4:20 we have them on the left side because usually we sit on the rightside of the car/truck.

[@TheJoaveck]

I agree with you that the indicator should be on the side of the driver's door. Japanese cars in Europe have it on the left as well, so I think SCANIA should have done better research before making it this way.
