American Reacts to The BEST Euro Truck TikToks (Scania, DAF, Volvo)

[@uncle_matula]

you might want to look up Bruce Wilson, he just arrived in the US with a new Scania v8 r770 truck that was assembled for him at the factory a few months ago if you met him, it would make a good video, I suppose you could drive it

[@upmarketcub0015]

They should meet up so he can see one irl and test drive it

[@GretchenMuller-uw9sl]

yeah just watched his video maybe he is at a truck show near you ;)

[@fronterag40]

Yep i only follow him because of scania vídeos, like the last 🫶

[@paulgee1355]

I hope he does check out Bruce's channel. I suggested him to Ian ages ago when Bruce was busy destroying his first Scania 😅, the one he made open top, and getting his second, the white one, I think. I reckon he'd enjoy Bruce's Scania content, especially as he's making headway, now, into bringing them back to the USA with his new one. Ian would love that one, it's a gorgeous blue.

[@celeroon89]

Not just any Scania, it's a 770 😃

[@robert4you]

Bruce Wilson just released the second video of his brand new Scania R770 on American soil. What a gorgeous truck he has.

[@JohnRoberts-pt8cu]

I've been following Bruce Wilson and his Scania Journey, buying a used truck in Canada, bringing it back to the USA, and then later being invited to the Scania factory, test driving all there truck line, lucky devil, he ordered a 770 in that beautiful blue, and it arrived in the USA, so the first new Scania in the USA, Bruce has some great videos of all his trucks, enjoy your journey with Bruce Wilson. 😊

[@dzzope]

He didn't just order a truck. He was made a representative of Scania and no one else can drive it on the roads but him. Only way to get a new one in the US

[@vHindenburg]

@@dzzope Have been following for the better part of this year. I kinda feel happy for him, being able to enjoy it that much.

[@RobbEsspisi]

Mentioned earlier here in the coments, but yeah, why not check out Bruce Wilson and his brand new R770 that just landed in the US...?!! He's gonna need all the help he can get from everybody to keep his dream alive; to finally get EuroTrucks allowed over there.

[@hevosenleukajoe]

Hoping to see one Sisu on hes fleet

[@petrissmalga1993]

A if you wanna see new generation Scania v8 r770. You can write a Bruce Wilson. He live in tennese 😮😂

[@juige3663]

I would recommend to check Bruce Wilson's scania journey that he is starting with brand new Scania in the USA. He visited Scania's factory in Sweden and Scania workshop in Finland aswell.

[@tjalvehund82]

Its a straight six. No question about it. I've driven scanias of all kinds for 24 years. And i have no doubt about it.

[@ThxtBxyNatx]

Bruce Wilson just got his yesterday

[@Bluescanian]

Both the red drop top in the beginging and the frost fire is a product of Svempas. Svempa started with tow trucks in the sixties which he customized by him self to stand out in the streets of Stockholm (everyone remembers the chromed out towtruck) Then he went all in on building show trucks and developing factory made custom kits for Scania.

[@Navy-Seal-Ninja90]

scania's are so iconic yes. but there are seriously so many other insanely cool truck brands as well. DAF and volvo deserve credit too. so freaking good looking. euro trucks are just next level man. sheeeeeesh

[@HipsterEstonian]

Many Volvo trucks can be driven from outside the cab with a remote control. That is what was happening there as well.

[@kakarotvegeta]

That system can be built onto any truck though, mainly used on crane trucks that put down temporary roads with steel plates i believe...

[@IanDarley]

Check out Bruce Wilson's channel. He went to the Scania factory six months ago and they built him a brand new 770R in US spec, he just took delivery of it in the US.

[@colinpryor6590]

The 1st Scania is from Svempas it was out her in Australia years ago. I work for Scania in Brisbane Queensland and got to move it out of the workshop. Svempas makes custom parts and tuning for Scania

[@joris993]

The truck at 3:46 i helped build the exhaust system for that truck. Its a straight six, it sounds way raspy than a v8

[@ruubers7419]

Was just about to say, there's no way that's a v8.

[@petrissmalga1993]

First scania is Svempas custom bild.

[@cadifan]

You should check out Bruce Wilson's channel. He just got delivered a brand new 2025 next gen R770 V8 Scania truck that Scania built and shipped to him in Tennessee so he can showcase it in the US. You never know you might even get to sit in it!

[@ProjectVastness]

I saw it, I just hope he doesn't destroy it trying to americanise what can't be done. Basically destroying the truck to transforme it in American crap

[@Marc-mg5un]

Nothing beats scania, they are just amazing.

[@Dive1962]

DAF is a Dutch company established in 1932 and started as a car-trailer manufacturer. They've always been known for their unique style and innovations

[@krzysio53a]

Hi Ian I don't know if it's something personal or rights issues, or just no one mentioned it to you, but there's a brand new Scania 770R in USA soil imported/presented by your fellow KZbinr Bruce Wilson He published many clips on hi own old Scania trucks, and after visit in Sweden year ago he got one made for shows and presentations. You may be able to see it live near you over next year on some truck shows

[@BladeRMC187]

The highline at 3:20 sounds like a piped inline 6. 450hp 6 cylinders are pretty common nowadays. Later Inline 6s range up to 560 now.

[@upmarketcub0015]

First Scania and the Frostfire is built by a legendary swedish guy called Swempa. He is like 80 years old now and still doing this stuff.

[@jesperhansson7217]

the Frostfire scania might be the best looking scania ever made

[@upmarketcub0015]

@ Den är riktigt fin, speciellt i verkligheten. Finns även special modeller som Scania har gjort med Svempa som heter Fire edition och Frost

[@jesperhansson7217]

@@upmarketcub0015 yea magiskt fina trucks❤️❤️

[@basecius]

85 years old, have built trucks for over a half century, and still going strong. A legend indeed. He has always preferred Scania. And they have come out with limited editions based on his designs. So Svempa made the Frostfire, and Scania will make 50 blue "Frost" edition, and 50 brandy colored "Fire" edition. Scania even bought the "Svempa" brand from him.

[@ontheroadagain4773]

Do you know that the design of Scania's new V8 emblem is created by Svempa. It's based on the shape of the valve caps on the older 14 litre V8 engines. Btw Svempa's real name is Sven-Erik Bergendahl.

[@skodass1]

14:55 that blue color scheme is kinda required since its a "emergency" vehicle from Germany, all their equipment is blue with white highlights from something called THW which is roughly translated into technical help department, they usually field stuff like large mobile cranes, towed water pumps etc... closest thing you would have in the states would be something like FEMA

[@kronop8884]

Scania is lovingly called the truck that built Brazil due to is durability and reliability, the models 110 and 111 typically in orange where given the nickname jacaré meaning alligator The models L75/76/100/101/110/111 seems to have a special place in many Brazilians hearts

[@latvianeel]

Hey Ian, not super related to the video content, but I have to agree with your comments about Norway. My family and I drove a rental car from Oslo to Bergen which at times, took us underneath the mountains. Each time we reached a tunnel, we had a competition to see if you could hold your breath through the entire tunnel. Then we got to one that was 28km long! With a speed limit of 60kph, it took almost half an hour to get through. At two points there were even round-a-bouts with tunnels heading off in different directions. It is another world my friend. Keep up your awesome vids man!

[@larszenthio1012]

The world's first self-driving truck was tested in Sweden in 2018 and was electric. load capacity 20 tonnes and a range of 200km/charge. It traveled a distance between two warehouses, part of which was on a public road.

[@shaneb4612]

The white interior truck around 10:24 would make me feel like I was in a padded room on a Psych Ward. That one spun me out. 95% of those truck were incredible. I'm not much of a truck guy, but those Scania's might have changed my mind. My best friend, she would absolutely love the purple truck. We call her purple Peta.

[@ideallogic]

The white tanker Scania with the Amber lights is actually not a real T cab model but a later COE version that has been modified by VLASTUIN , a famous Dutch Firm that makes Torpedo's out of modern Euro trucks (mostly Scania , some Volvo) This model was the 2nd version !

[@ontheroadagain4773]

Vlastuin isn't the only one that make them. Look up "Tuft Customs Service" from Norway. In my opinion the hoods on their Scanias look better than them from Vlastuin.

[@cslhansen]

The "Super" on Scania trucks refers to their turbo charged in-line 6 engines. The FrostFire is a concept experiment gone wild.

[@tommeiner9983]

Well it used to, back in the 60's. Then it just became a trend to put that badge on almost all customized Scanias. Then recently Scania themselves have reintroduced it to signal their new inline 6 engine. But the truck in the video doesn't have that engine.

[@ontheroadagain4773]

Scania used the "Super" enblem on ALL their turbocharged trucks from 1961, when the first turbocharged DS10 engine was introduced in the model 75, until the 2-series was introduced in 1980. All diesels in the 2-series (except for the smallest D8 engine, that still was available in a non-turbo version) had turbo engines so there was no longer any reason to put the "Super" emblem on them. The vast majority of the 140 and all of the 141 series trucks had turbo V8 and they had the "Super" on them.

[@axelk4921]

On the subject of FROSTFIRE special edition... The "Frostfire" is unique and you can buy 50 "Frost" and 50 "Fire" trucks I don't know that much about it, but SCANIA had a well-known truck tuner in Sweden build a special edition with this year's theme of Frost & Fire But you should ask Bruce Wilson, he was in the Scania factory museum and got to know the tuner personally

[@espneindanke9172]

14:50 This is from Germany. *THW* stands for "Technisches Hilfswerk" ("Technical aid organization"). Comparable to FEMA in the USA. The color is of course standardized. THW always has exactly this dark blue and white. You will love their Unimogs as well^^

[@daggel011]

"German Federal Agency for technical Relief" to be correct 😅 THW would be worth a Video of its own. I would LOVE to see his reaction to our heavy machinery fleet...

[@gedece]

The turbo part of turbo diesels sounds wicked revving down in shifts.

[@lowrangemaniac5326]

I suggest you to check out the Scania Iceman by Ristimaa with its double trailers.... It's a work of art and a tribute to the F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen

[@johncunningham4820]

Yello and Red Truck is definitely a SIX .

[@HG_Budde]

Trucker here: That bucket is our home for the larger part of the week. So my truck is more my home than my home is my home. My tiny flat for once could just as well be a heated storage unit with a mattress, a sink, internet and a microwave. 😅 Company trucks usually are pretty stock, apart from some easily removable personal stuff like cushions, blankets and the like. But "independent" contractors, who have to provide their own rig, are free to do with it as we please.. we technically can go as crazy as our sick minds reach. As long as we keep the paint job to a sensible neon yellow; we sort of do represent our single employer after all. 🙌🏻 What you would would spend on getting your house a new coat of paint or a new dining room set, we invest in a nice paint job for the truck and some comfy and purpose-driven interior.. 😁

[@lokibrux]

Purple dream,... Close, it's actually Purple Rain. It's a pretty famous truck by all accounts. I've seen it a few times and this just doesn't do it any justice. It's a thing of beauty.

[@Nails077]

If you haven't already, you should check out the Volvo Iron Knight. Not very huge for a truck but with a huge engine built entirely for setting records. There is some pretty cool footage on KZbin of it doing acceleration and top speed runs and even races against a Volvo race car. I'd really love for you to see that.

[@gtrulez]

2:31 that one is filmed like 12 min drive from my home. Wasn't expecting to see that in one of your video's😂 the green (DAF) trucks in the background are actually stationed in my hometown where i grew up as a kid.

[@gerbentvandeveen]

I, have seen the purle rain truck this year. At Truck Star Festival Assen.'24. And the Bond 007 and the Indiana jones truck. The biggest Truck show of Europe/World. 2300, trucks at 1 show. On a Moto GP track. 2 day's , 1 party. And truck racing.

[@PUTDEVICE]

the first red truck belongs to SVEMPAS, a salvage company. he always decorated his trucks.. think he is 80 years old now. he is so famous that Scania has a model serie of a truck that they manufacture now. Inspired by the Frostfire show truck, Svempa and his team will take your wishes and customisation choices - and create a limited-edition. Frost themed custom . the volvo at the end is remote controlled. the driver can stand outside and steer when they are fixing asphalt etc

[@lazygamerz]

9:38 and to the left there's a golf course and shooting range (signs says so). If an American couldn't get any more excited.

[@lbernau]

I'm not sure, but I think I've read somewhere that Scania's that has 'Super' as part of the model name, are 6 cyl. engines. not V8. And the yellow truck has 'Super' written on the side.

[@tommeiner9983]

Super originally signaled Scania's turbocharged engines in the 60's. On most trucks it's just a tribute to those old models. It's only recently that Scania reintroduced the "Super" name to signal their new inline 6 engines. But the truck in the video is a 6 series, so it just has the older ("non Super") inline 6.
