History of Scania Trucks - Truck History Episode 22

[@pilditajs71]

Thank you for the heart-warming story! Living in Europe, I consider Scania to be one of the best trucks and the only one to have a V8 with Euro6 emissions standards.

[@Streetrocker28]

Edvins Strads to this day they still stand strong behind their V8’s

[@shaggings]

​@@Streetrocker28a big part of Scania's character will die the day the V8 goes away.

[@audoinxr6372]

I love how an American channel is doing history on the big Euros. But how can you talk about Scania and not mention the legendary V8?

[@danpower4396]

I agree it’s hard not to mention their V8’s, but It’s nice to see them do a video on Scania. There’s only a handful of Scanias on US roads, but sometimes you still see one.

[@Streetrocker28]

Scania V8 ‘s are Mack V8 engines

[@audoinxr6372]

Mack E9 and Scania previous gen 16.4 were based off each other but Volvo ditched it for their D16g. Which in theory is a better engine. But still sad. Good to see Scania pumping the old Old V8 to 730hp with euro 6 emissions. US builders can learn a thing from the two Swedes

[@iBackshift]

Scania put to the drawing board the first V-8 in 1964 and entered into service in 1969, the 14liter 350hp. Scania designed the V-8 engine and did an "Resource" property trade with Mack. Mack had the casting facility and cast the two blocks. One was standard (mack), one was metric (Scania)....Thee End ! ! ! Scania rules...The sound of Heaven. www.truckerlinks.dk/v8lyd.mp3

There are a couple handfuls of Scania trucks floating around north america. Amazing trucks... tough as nails!

[@Black.dynamite-]

I'd love to import one since I can't get a cabover

[@Streetrocker28]

Garrick Pitts as an European driver I can definitely say Scania is one of the best brands out there especially the topline T series but I wouldn’t ever trade a large convential US truck in for a Scania . Too small interior and maybe because Europe has too much of a cabover saturated market

[@mallry1]

@@Streetrocker28 there is the option of the longline scania trucks if you can find one for sale

[@LuisGarcia-ug3cs]

Hi Garrick, South of the Border in Mexico there’s some dealerships from Scania, Man, Volvo, and Volkswagen Trucks apart from Kenwoorth, Peterbilt, International and freightliner, and Since Kenwoorth it’s the number 1 on sales there’s plenty of European Trucks on the Road

[@stephenbinkley]

Same i would love one for heavy loads with the 770 hp as the biggest power you can get in North America is 600

[@aldworth33]

I'd say get a Mercedes actros or daf xf as they share many parts with North American trucks. The actros is a really reliable truck and they have cummins def system and basically a detroit diesel engine so parts could be gotten easily 👍

[@BadAndUgly]

No mentioning of the legendary V8?

[@doabarrellroll69]

@Stian Myrdal Laursen ah yes, it's so useless because it makes 720 hp ? Or is it because it's very reliable ?

[@Streetrocker28]

Those are Mack v8’s. So no

[@no_bull]

Mack and Scania had a partnership and developed a V8 engine block with the difference between the two was the cylinder head. Mack had the Jacob's type compression brake.

Scania V8 - one of the best trucks in the world! In most european countries the length is limited (truck + trailer= max 16,5m) Keep on truckin 🇺🇸

[@pertpesc7058]

Semi trailers 16,5 m. Truck with trailer 19,5 m. Modul 25,25 m. Timer trucks 24 m. At least here in Norway. Total weight up to 60 tonns on modul roadtrain. In Finland and Sweden it is longer and more heavy.

[@SFtruckerWolf]

Finland 34,5 meters and 76 000 kg

[@jeffreyurquia4379]

Fun fact, Navistar Inc. Has a fleet of Scania trucks in the US.

[@Allenfreedom1776]

That's bc Navistar & Scania are both owned by Tranton/VW

[@rogeralsop3479]

Most interesting.

[@dalecurtis3149]

I see a lot of Scania trucks running around New Jersey lately.

[@JoniFili]

Shit!! I'm old!! I still remember Scania-Vabis brand in old trucks...

[@henrisonkajarvi7354]

Drove a delivery truck for a couple of years. First a 18t 94 and then a P9. Two axles, full air suspension, rear lift on both. The P9 was a bit longer with a longer day cabin. It had also ac, cruise control. They both had electric mirrors and windows. Man the P9 was nice to drive although it had the 5 cylinder engine that was a bit rough sound wise. 270hp made up for it though. And it was quiet once you got it up to some speed.

[@TruckinDavo]

Really wish Scania would build the S series here in the states. Imagine a 730S with a U.S. size sleeper, omfg you talk about truckin in comfort and style.

[@susansullivan9255]

They're building the S770 bhp truck now ..

[@dhiakhamis643]

Thanks 😀

[@What_is_wrong_with_this_world]

Scania, meaning "Skåne" on Latin. The southern region of Sweden, where I also live :)

[@aukeboy1]

To bad you guys didn't include the opening of the factory in Zwolle (Netherlands) in 1964, which currently the largest Scania factory in the world, with producing about 60% off all Scania trucks build currenlty

[@edilson1234567890123]

In Brazil, the L series is known as the "jacarés" or "alligator". We still see some of then working.

[@SFtruckerWolf]

Yes, hood was open and eating man.

[@martiniv8924]

Been to the factory in Sweden, and around the test track, Toyota were in the factory on process sharing .

[@no_bull]

That's because Hino trucks which is a Toyota group company is working closely with Scania

[@thomaslarsson8562]

Have an Scania Vabis L76 from 1968, I run this old truck on HVO 100, a synthetic environmentally friendly diesel fuel. As I understand SCANIA actually approves of this for the DS11 engines (old style mechanical inline 6). However those modern Euro 6 V8 are approved for HVO100, Would say, SCANIA is a mighty truck with a small footprint...

[@jahcoryianmurray1852]

Love the video's

[@elizabethcherry920]

I was just wondering what you guys were going to do for stories, since you guys covered all of the major US truck brands. Good choice picking Scania ,they are a great truck brand, too bad they have a hard time selling trucks here great video, aye next one should be either Mercedes or Daf , great video

[@danpower4396]

They should do DAF since they are now part of Paccar.

[@audoinxr6372]

Daf needs love. Without Daf, KW and peterbilts would still be in 1985. Haha.

[@craigsmall7891]

Great video as ever and brilliant trucks scanias are one of the nicest trucks you can drive 👌

[@iBackshift]

V-8,V-8,V-8, the reason one even brings up Scania is because of the V-8. Its one of the handful of trucks on the planet that still has a V-8, AND its the "flagship engine" of Scania. Scania numbers are; 82m is 8 liter engine. 112 is 11 liter engine, 142..etc is 14 liter, 164 is 16 liter. -Jack's could do a whole video just on the history of the Scania V-8 and the joint venture Mack had with Scania.

@@Streetrocker28 Sorry Bud. Scania pitched an offer to Mack for an intellectual property trade, (We like your bus, but your engine does not have enough power to pull a sick hooker off a piss-pot) first starting with a "Mack bus" trade for "Scania cylinder head", (We'll build you a cylinder head that will make your engine pull) which Scania built the first 15000 thermodyne cylinder heads for mack.

Scania best trucks ever made

[@ontheroadagain4773]

At 2:22 It's a shame that we can't see the whole photo, shot in 1941. The truck in the foreground has a 160hp 10.34 litre inline 8 cylinder engine, type B801 or D801. (You can only see the half of the engine). This rare engine was made 1941 and 1942 and it was powered by producer gas because there was a lack of petroleum products during WW2 Between 1946 and 1951 Scania also made a bigger 180hp 11.3 litre inline 8 cylinder diesel engine called D802. The only thing I know about it is that it was installed in 214 buses of the B30 type.

[@ontheroadagain4773]

The truck at 3:32 has the 801 engine

[@nathiolifant6842]

And the V8? And the T Model found in Ireland and the Netherlands?

[@Utxtreme]

Small not on the 0,1,2,3 and 4 series The numbers infront of one of these is telling the size of the engine. 143 has a 14ltr v8.

[@williamfromky8109]

2:25 Looks like trucks being manufactured with wood gasifiers. The trucks ran on wood during WWII because of oil shortages.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I'm actually surprised that there isn't a market for tractors like these European cabovers to run in New England. Do they meet U.S. emissions requirements?

[@travishabursky4362]

Sweden has about the same emissions standards as California, so I imagine that wouldn’t be an issue.

[@hansmens265]

They have even better then those requirements

[@Streetrocker28]

I’ve heard it’s because the fear from other U.S brands to lose their market shares to a foreign manufacturer . Scania wanted to produce in Europe and export to America to keep cost’s down but the U..S want’s them to open factories on American soil and use American workers for assembling the rigs and they wouldn’t do that because of high costs so they said no and the US said no to importing them ... maybe they’ll work it out in the future but I think the US is right in this and more countries should follow protective measures about certain technology and workforce protectivity otherwise you even get more sweatshop operated industries .

Some of the cabovers look a lot the last cabovers that Mack built No matter how you look at a cabover truck it looks like a box some with rounded corners, still a box

American here: why are all trucks in Europe/Asia cabovers?

[@walidcurious6922]

For the reason of the tight city roads and streets in the urban areas like Italy and spain...they need something small so they can drive it plus the cabovers got more turning radius also the length restrictions require short wheel base the emissions.the sound and noise regulations .....but you still can find them in Sweden because they import them just a few for truck show purposes only...

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Just did a video all about why Cabovers are not found in the US called "Where did the cabovers go?". Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3iuZnl6dt6Upck

[@Locomotion-uz4ly]

Our towns and villages were built in most cases hundreds of years before the invention of the automobile, so they are tight and bendy. For that reason unlike the US we have very strict truck length regulations, which are pretty universal throughout the continent. A truck should be no longer than 12 meters. A semi-trailer truck combination should be no longer than 16,5 meters from the front bumper of the tractor to the rear bumper of the semi trailer. A combination of a truck and a full trailer should not exceed 18,75 meters in total. You can do the conversion to inches. It does not make sense to drive a conventional truck, as the engine compartment eats up cargo space.

[@Streetrocker28]

Because in Europe the bosses don’t give a shit about drivers safety and comfort or wellbeing that’s the reason they don’t find any folk to drive anymore . They try to lure young ones with bells and whistles but don’t want to improve pay € or listen to their drivers and give them some social life . That’s why the whole European trucking scene has been overrun by cheap Eastern European drivers who never had any decent experience driving a behemoth. Most companies are sweatshop focused now and they treat their drivers like less than shit 💩 ...
