Well Scott. That has to be one of the best show walk around I’ve ever seen. None of the factory bulls-t spiel. I’ve been to a lot of truck shows in my time (starting with Earls Court in the 60’s) but I must say for a non-professional presenter, that was really good.

[@kiaceratomadman]

Hi David yes i totally agree with you Scott did amazing job making the KZbin video over in Hanover Germany for all of us 👍👍 and i thought that Scott did amazing job to be totally honest with you i really enjoyed watching it myself. And I've not long sent Scott a message saying about the KZbin video over in Hanover Germany great work and really nice trucks aswell 👍👍👍 thanks from mark 👍👍

[@cloudmaker]

That was absolutely brilliant Scott much better insight and more information than the truck press. Thank you.

[@johnjames2704]

Loved your video Scott and love the way your are carving a possible future career

[@rhysmorgan8946]

Loving the tech talk Scott, brilliant video

[@trevorpitt5883]

Great video once again Scott. Must agree with the color choice for your own company truck. You should try to get to one of the US truck shows. you need a week to get around them. Seeing all the new technology one can only wonder what things will be like when your my age (82) Keep on trucking brother.

Cracking video Scott, lots of information and insight into the future of trucking, would be good if you could do a review of the Iveco and other trucks! Fingers crossed! Got to agree about the MAN mirror cam with the wide angle built into the main lense! Don’t know about the infrastructure for Electric vehicles yet, I just know that the town on the south coast where I live hasn’t got a single roadside charging point yet!! Not good! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛

No problem 👍

[@davidbrown7538]

Hi Scott I work for a haulier in Cardiff so do drive an Iveco S-Way that is Biomethene CNG powered. It’s quite a good truck that is generally reasonable to drive.The only issue is the relative lack of refuelling stations in the UK.

I really enjoyed that Scott. Good to see you getting around a bit too. I don't want to sound picky, but I would have liked to see the interiors of the bigger trucks like the Scania and the Volvo 750, but overall, really good. Congratulations mate.

I plan on doing a cab tour of my Scania soon. Interior will be the same as that. If i get another chance to get inside a Volvo i'll be sure show it

[@kw2917]

@@ScottAndrews Excellent. Thank you mate.

[@stevewilkins816]

That driver monitoring system is on national express coaches. The problem is if your watching your speed because slowing down then it goes off, if you yarn it goes off, if you look in your nearside mirror for longer than 3 sec whilst turning it goes off. It then sends an alert to national express control to say you've set it off.

[@ScottAndrews]

I bet that drives them crazy

[@stevewilkins816]

I drive them and I've learned to live with it. I have my phone in a holder next to the unit with my speed up so I don't get looking at the dash and set it off. As far as the unit is concerned I'm looking at it.

Great video Scott, having it all explained in a way that a driver can understand is really helpful. Did a class 1 driving assessment this afternoon in wag and drag with a 4 over 4 MAN , I have the option to do class one in that or a Mercedes unit with artic box trailer 🤔 not sure what to go for yet as the hookloaders that can pull the trailers at Perry's recycling are automatic did the reverse park with just one shunt which I was rather pleased with 😊 have a good week

[@ScottAndrews]

Thanks 😁 Never driven wag and drag. I think i'd choose the artic personally. Auto or manual doesn't really matter these days as everything new is Auto. You don't get the option of manual anymore. With Artics anyway. Thanks again for coming down and saying hello at Shepton 👍😁

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

@@ScottAndrews that's what I have been thinking today plus most of the hookloaders are autos anyway and it's one less thing to worry about on the test day. That's ok, saw Kev out on the road a while ago so nice to catch up with him too

[@kiaceratomadman]

Hi Scott matey 👍 it's mark from the Wirral Merseyside..👍 great KZbin video of you over in Hanover in Germany doing your walk around the whole event it was totally brilliant watching it. But i definitely agree with you about the very nice metallic blue and silver mercedes truck even I'm in love with that mercedes truck, and the Scania 770 xt very nice truck and also MAN trucks very nice aswell 👍👍👍. Not sure about the Chinese trucks at the moment but they look ok though if they arrive in the UK England. But there was alot of the electric components for any type of trucks though Scotty matey 👍👍 and like you said Scott the time will come to go fully electric from scooters right through to trucks one day soon but you still can't beat the diesel engines specially the V8'S. But Scott matey I'm glad you enjoyed your self over in Hanover Germany and making your KZbin video for all of us who have subscribed to your KZbin channel and watching your KZbin videos driving your lovely green Scania V8 truck at work and also MAN and being over in Hanover Germany great work on that over in Hanover Germany great KZbin video and i really enjoyed watching it keep up the great work Scott matey 👍👍 and i hope to hear from you soon Scott matey 👍👍 thanks from mark from the Wirral Merseyside 👍👍👍

[@michaelthomas3646]

great video Scott, wonder what the repair would be like, and how often you would have to repair the lines etc. on the truck @20:15. especially with close to jack-knifing the trailer like a lot of companies expect you to do driving in their yards. looks like the trailer connections won't go passed a 45 degree angle, good for the motorway, but not ideal for towns and yards. as for the tail-lift @24:30 don't like how quick it folds up, especially if someone was walking in the blind spot, could see quite a few false claims about being hit by a tail lift.

[@michaelthomas3646]

as for the pantograph power lines that is an extremely old concept, it has been on the cards for 20-30 years, and still extremely limited availability of it. and the concept was to have it on the motorways, as that is about the only time a truck will move straight, imagine having to remove the pantograph and having to reset it as well when turning left or right in a town. then be a nightmare to drive a truck.

[@chrischeltenham]

That was agreat videos and some good looking trucks of the future. Do you know when Merc are going to be posting your content so we can check it out also? #MoreScott #LoadsMoreScott

Excellent video without the "sponsor" spiel throughout . I drive for the NHS on agency and we've got two 14T rigid Electric vehicles being used daily. Quiet on the road with instant torque which is great for town work . Any distance runs and once they return have to be plugged in. I can see the attraction at present for day work ( and for being quiet when you deliver to a hospital !! ) but still limited .

[@ScottAndrews]

@@ScottAndrews They are DAF LF cabs with BETT on the side in green otherwise you can't tell . They've had to be recovered twice in the summer when the range suddenly dropped en route without warning . It's a specialist recovery also as the motors need isolating and disconnecting before towing . Tramping is a long way off though !

[@williamcarlson5405]

From WC in USA, well Scott mostly a good video,it was easy to tell that Mercedes was paying you to do this video! I thought it was interesting the way you subtly trashed the Ford F-Max! And as we say in the USA, I don’t have a dog in this race as we don’t have a lot of these trucks in the USA!

Electric distribution trucks will be the future for metropolitan distribution work. So for example rigids from outer London RDCs and for trailer swaps from ICE trucks just outside of the M25 once they are banned from London and other big cities across Europe. I think outer London RDCs running electric fleets will do very well out of it.

you say the pantograph will never work you had better check with scania they are running trials in sweden

Great to see around the truck show, it's amazing how they're already getting ahead of the game with electric lorries. Yes the pantograph is unlikely because of the overall outlay to costs of charging. I can see more electric points at stopovers to encourage you to take your 30 minutes with them.

[@ScottAndrews]

To comply with length regulations

[@francisgaliegue6645]

@@ScottAndrews There is that, yes, but consider this: you have no engine hump in the middle, no need for a gearbox (I'm looking at you, Scania), no need for a ladder chassis (just make the battery case a structural element); consequences are at least twofold: * you can drop all the mechanism used to lift/lower cabs and simplify the design (and cost!) a lot; * you can rake the windscreen and make the unit that much more aerodynamic; plus you can configure the driver seat to be in the middle and lower, again a reduction in cost. That's why cabover designs like that for electric trucks make no sense to me.

[@chris77777777ify]

Imagine Tramping, running a microwave & night heater & wondering if the truck will start in the morning WITH an electric truck. Emissions isn’t a problem our currency & global economic model is.

[@ScottAndrews]

I'm sure there will be investment for Chargers in the future. I wonder what it would look like though

[@regularguy3665]

Is going to be up to companies using the trucks to mostly have their own charging facilities in house. Different drive trains have different purposes, for example someone who goes out at 6am Monday and comes home 6pm Friday wouldn’t necessarily suit EV but your nearby bakery or the local council collecting door to door bins and leaving the wagon dormant overnight could do well on battery power. Cost vs benefit will always be a factor though for local authorities and with EV trucks costing 3x their diesel brethren they’re in no rush to change over. They’ll always write the rules regarding clean air zones to suit themselves ie EURO 6 compliant.

[@benskinner5956]

@@regularguy3665 yes that is another good point the price of EVs is still so expensive compared to diesel engined
