500 horsepower and a weight over 40 tons - to control and steer the mass of an colossal truck is not an easy task!
Nowadays, new high-tech trucks roam the highways boasting precise drivability, energy efficiency and all-round safety. Our documentary addresses the safety issues of truck driving and shows the development and construction of a new truck. We will journey through exciting glimpses inside the Swedish design-lab, the first home of the trucks and test their safety with spectacular crash tests.
Imagine driving along the smooth slope of the highway. Car in cruise control with the landscape just flashing by as you make your way to your destination. Then out of nowhere comes a massive, slow truck. In this moment, everything changes! Research has showed that for every dead truck driver there are nine fatally injured passengers. Why is this so?
The intimidating size and the restrictive speed of trucks have been the star of many drivers’ nightmare. But these, when coupled with the propensity for human error, are worse than the monster in any closet. To our relief, high-tech trucks are now in transit with filed technology and more than 500 HP. But it’s not just about speed; it is all about driving with the highest precision and energy efficiency! Truck manufacturers are now focusing on the safety features of trucks by creating smarter vehicles that are able to reduce human error. Nowadays new high-tech trucks roam the highways: highly precise drivability, energy efficient and getting safer every day - all over the world technicians and scientist work to make that happen.
Our documentary addresses the safety issues of truck driving and shows the development and construction of a new truck with lots of innovations, including exciting glimpses inside the Swedish design-lab and spectacular crash tests that show how safe modern trucks really are!

"Noise can make people sick" 41:41 I wish I could convince my neighbors of this.

[@nagyalex5310]

😂😂😂

[@Mrk-9]

End of Day its the DRIVER who matters He should be Attentive and Responsive

[@o0o-jd-o0o95]

I like how that one crash test into the wall the truck had its windscreen wipers going

[@schlinkodonkofink]

39:15 correction: Queensland is an Australian state, South Australia is a separate Australian state. Perhaps the narrator should have said “Queensland AND South Australia”. Also, at 39:17 that’s a Victorian (yet another Australian state) plate on the trailer! I’m feeling left out living in New South Wales… but loving this documentary.

[@anthonyssemanda5737]

Am fascinated about this.

[@Phostings1]

That hamster was hungry. Feed him that damn carrot!! 🤣 Impressive technology overall!

[@rustyjrust873]

Paid by the hour makes me relax!

[@ct1fls]

Thank you very much for your video

[@gerrypetrocco5551]

Queensland & South Australia are two completely different states within Australia.

[@staninjapan07]

A great Volvo commercial presentation, but fascinating anyway.

[@boredgrass]

If you think you have "seen it all" watch this one! Besides very interesting content, here is a really nicely made documentary! A pleasure to watch!

[@carlbegnaud4851]

This is just like the way all the new Trucks are becoming, I'm a truck driver

[@stonepasta5296]

Wonder how these trucks would do on roads from Worlds Deadliest Roads?

[@outlawdingo3020]

not to sure about the new volvos but if theyre anything like the new macks that have water cooled starter motors so after driving for 3-4 hours your waiting a while till the starter has cooled down if you have shut the engine off

[@camofilms]

I HOPE THE HAMSTER GOT TO EAT THE CARROT!!

[@xavichuvy9047]

Volvo infomercial. Most of this tech has been available across most European truck manufacturers for years.

[@RamyFal]

Using a Weight Sensor to Show how light steering is ❌ . . Using a Hamster to do that ✅

[@rustyjrust873]

I'm writing a song, "69 buzzers, 1 ramp to go!"

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

good video love the stunt performed by jean claude van damme with volvo trucks on volvo trucks youtube channel.

[@megataurus7779]

The trucks were driving in reverse,how do you know if it was not filmed in reverse?😮

[@rilwicc5002]

Volvo paid bro some big money😂😂

[@danielkeelan9108]

Does the driver come in hi-tech like the truck too

[@Krasimir_Mitev8686]

New test max speed 85km overloaded 3-4tones and will see how is performed

[@TheKimberlyashton]

Once the dynamic steering system has issues, such as the wrong camber angle, the steering becomes wobbly, it pulls trucks left or right randomly by itself.

[@techman8817]

27:48 looks like they brought in a Finnish guy to talk about drifting.

[@lilianmuthee8963]

Does the dammy have to be that of a "black"??

[@maheshmaheshpoopathi-bb9fv]

Volvo always good for safety 👏

[@sarwansambi5028]

Safty system best in world only on volvo trucks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rustyjrust873]

Will dispatchers be trained in remote repair, or lack thereof? 😮

[@darinlito8057]

Volvooooooo 🎉❤❤❤❤

[@darinlito8057]

Im rootin for Volvo

[@chrisallen1049]

Guy sounds exactly like ruud gullit 30.00

[@jeremytaylor3532]

Volvo and others have to develop electric drive trucks with regenerative braking. Yet a small battery and a diesel generator that fires up when battery power is below 20% or at highway speeds. This will give the best of both worlds, until newer battery technology has been developed. This will allow them to compete with Tesla. And provide long distance trucking with electric advantages today.

[@christopherhinton6456]

what about jack knifing.

[@thepubliceye]

somehow I doubt any truck drivers were involved in this truck.

[@yashveersingh1795]

🤩🤩😍

[@extremeplusmediaz]

These are more advertorial like Benz and Volvo etc

[@arashafshar8819]

A few years ago when I heard Volvo has sold some parts of Volvo to Chinese, I felt bad about this company!

[@xavichuvy9047]

You shouldn't. It saved the car company. On the other hand, Saab was sold to the Americans and it died.

[@middleclassretiree]

Truck drivers are the cause of most accidents ? Are you kidding me the statistics say just the opposite especially here in the USA

[@abdelaziezdeboer6377]

Because nobody can drive in the usa .in Europe they can so most accidents are caused by truck drivers ..

[@user-gp9pj6cj1c]

Why can't all the Volvo's have auto parking..it would've saved the new deivers like me a lot of time 🙏

[@lilytea3]

Recap by Tammy AI

[@bobsthea]

somehow all trafic accident caused by un-attentive human driver and somehow these advanced tech can replace those drivers

[@christopherhinton6456]

the driver will come to rely on that system to much.

[@seniorcajun]

Please keep in mind that in the United States of America we don't use Metric temperature , please give us a conversion from Celsius to Farenheight

[@kornaros96]

Get with the times you colony

[@jarmoturunen6519]

Well, it seems to be the Americans' own shame, the vast majority of countries in the world use the metric system.

[@silentepsilon888]

can't even spell Fahrenheit correctly, LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherkane2842]

Come on man it’s 2023 go online jeez

[@draggamingyt2336]

Hitech trucks with super high-tech price 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@seniorcajun]

Is Volvo going to Electric / Battery trucks Or Hydrogen Fuel Cell Or Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines ? In Arizona South East of Phoenix Arizona For the last few months , Nikola Trucks has been building and delivering , Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered Class 8 Heavy Duty Trucks ( the truck that pulls Trailers in Semis , 18 wheelers ) and Cummins Diesel , has Built a Hydrogen powered version of what was Used to be their Diesel Engine , in 2017 The American EPA will crack down on Pollution standards for Diesel Trucks, and make it hard to Build a Diesel engine that will comply with those Regulations

[@reeceweston4104]

I'm not sure about all Volvo trucks going electric. But I do know there is one in multiple sizes. There may be more though

[@xavichuvy9047]

All European truck manufactuters are going electric and some also offer hydrogen. Nikola is a rebadged Iveco truck although Iveco and Nikola parted ways a few months ago.

[@palladini9718]

150,000 KM in a year, whn I drove high miles over here in Ontario Canada, all over North America, in one year I covered 900,000 plus KM

[@federiconegreira8828]

some math does not add up...not trying to be a smart hat , but idk if you mistyped something but its 99.9999% impossible to be able to run 900,000 KM (=562,500 miles). like i said I'd like to think its some mistyped .

[@abw48]

As a Long Haul Trucker in the USA, OTR, I drove an average of 145,000 Miles ever year.. Im a Million Miler Plus.

[@jkoonce4244]

I’ve heard of team drivers getting close to 400,000 miles in a year , ya no between the two of them

[@jkoonce4244]

And some people just flatout lie ,3000km a day 😂 loozer monstertard 26 years

[@abw48]

@@jkoonce4244 I drove Team, 10 hours on and 10 hours one, pretty much non stop from CA to NY, 72-73 hours,drop a Trailer, pick up and Trailer and head back to CA. That would make it around 345-350K a year.

[@christopherdugan644]

Limited detail, this is more an Volvo advertorial than a documentary 👎

[@NoName-hl8cu]

You obviously do not drive trucks!!!😂

[@cestmoi1262]

Limited detail??? Sorry it offended your highfaluting values to distinguish between a documentary and information about progress that is being made for safer vehicles on the road.

[@willporter89]

As a volvo owner i support this. Lol.

[@djjon7090]

They're undeniably the best for sure

[@jonpetter8921]

When you think about safety Volvo is the first to come to the mind....

[@imregazso0026]

Way too much cupcakes try to drive and dealin w the consequences……..🎉

[@Tomo-hb2tq]

This guy he’s not got a clue about driving trucks most of the time it’s down to the car drivers cos they think that they can under cut us or try and jump in front of us and they don’t understand that trucks can’t stop as fast as cars can this guy needs to drive a truck for a week and see how bad it is

[@rodg2477]

Why people have to suffer the consequences. Companies need to stop killing people and start building its own roads. It’s murder. 80,000 commercial vehicle vs a 4,000 vehicle 😅😢

[@MrGmail69]

I would not drive a volvo
