New VOLVO FH 500 Turbo Compound Full Tour & Test Drive

[@stavros969]

Good morning , thanks for watching👋 Should a Volvo rejoin the Rory Lynch Transport fleet? It’s been 26 year’s since we last had a Volvo on our fleet.

[@joshcook8586]

Stavros969 hell yea mate, greetings from Australia, trucking hell

[@adrianc3932]

Volvos are not very good at cabin space and that gear shift has the worst position of all truck brands.

[@alexpreston9199]

I saw the lorry on Thursday when I was delivering fencing next to your yard and seen your own truck a couple of days back as well

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Personally Volvo from my experience have the worst dealer experience. Promise the world and just don't deliver. Not sure what your local is/how they are, but look into it. Experienced it myself (I'm only a driver, so doesn't affect me) but have also heard it from other companies when talking about trucks with fleet departments. Out of our 5 local dealers, only 1 is okay, has you in and out quickly, stocks stuff. The rest you sit for hours and the trucks ends up VOR for 2-3 days at a time because nothing is in stock.

Adrian C you must be a scania fan Volvo is a beast

[@TheThejpmshow]

Stavros has got what a lot of people haven’t... Genuine enthusiasm!

[@Misesian86]

This guy has my dream job. I’d like to test the different models and engines and give feedback to manufacturers. I’m all about getting the best fuel mileage possible and there’s so many things available and most fleets continue specing a truck like it’s the 90s.

[@FritsDriessen]

I always enjoy my sunday morning with these videos. Great way to start the day! Great content again Stavros.

[@rodrirm]

I don't own or drive real trucks, but since I started playing some well known truck simulators, I really enjoy every video you post. Thanks to your videos I can now atleast watch what the real thing looks like and the sound they make, is fantastic!. Please keep them coming! Cheers from a far away place in the world, Argentina!

Honest,y Stavros . The break at about 13:10 was artistic and awesome. But to follow it up with some decent stats, well done! !

[@rocketrob31]

Great video Stavros. I love volvos. Id like to see Rory lynch have a volvo again. Could you do a top 5 video of what truck you would buy if it was your own money and say why. Maybe update that list from time to time when new models appear. Keep up the great work. Cheeeers.

Wow laying here in my bunk of my KW t680. I used to think this was a little on the small size. I'd go nuts in a truck that small. I'v always liked the idea of the cab over that thing had one hell of a turning radius

[@Oliver-cn7jt]

Nice video stavros the volvo is well overdue get it in the fleet!

[@truthseeker4823]

The Turbo Compound engine is all about low rpm pull(green zone) and preferably E- mode driving*one can always give throttle if the truck is slowing down to soon before descent(I-SAVE etc). The performance is amazing compared to the other manufacturers when it comes to heavy uphill pull due to engine and gearbox for example a 460TC will overtake 510Mercedes,500MAN,510DAF,500Ford and of course the usual 450Scania maybe 460 but the 500 inline 6 is faster. Of course one can compare the 500 TC from Volvo but than again most manufacturers offer stronger options on these engine sizes so it all depends. When you compare the torque on the 500TC (2800nm) with the strongest engine*increased capacity (770 Scania) which has 3700nm one can't complain! Let's not forget that we are not racing these trucks but delivering goods on public roads with normal, more or less experienced drivers within a time/schedule window and with driving time regulated by tacho by minute so eventually one would think that every second matters and in perfect traffic conditions it might be so(hence the powerfull-high maximum speed limitation will be the 1st to reach a target location but perhaps just a few minutes faster than the other(lower power/lower speed limitation/less experienced driver etc.or even later if one makes a coffee brake) Unfortunately someone needs to push(overtake when it's safe /overtake a small car if driving slower than a truck and so on) because otherwise traffic will not flow normally/in a good rhythm so eventaually this is the Volvo TC experience(a good driving rhytm). Enjoy driving!

[@Bigben-pz8bx]

I just found your videos. Greetings from a driver from the western USA

[@ryanstewart5860]

Great video like always look to be a nice Volvo

[@ehsnils]

At 1:45 I do see that the Anderson connector is grey here, on the Scania it was red. Those are keyed differently so you can't join them - like if you want to make a jump charging of batteries between trucks.

[@nyashakchirume6334]

That camera angle @16:54 surprised me a little. Nice

[@patodwyer721]

Nice demo there Stavros. She'd look good in yer livery. Wasn't it Hino had the electric cab tilt, back in the days.

Those batterys I also have on my 2019 Scania R650 About the turbo compond? Scania had it back in time , when the 3 serie did come with it first stream line. In around 1990? It was on the 6 sylinder engine.

[@Seiskasatku]

I think they also had in the 4-series 6 cylinders , what i have heard they weren’t that good

[@juansalvo3981]

Beautiful video, very good description of the truck,thanks for sharing,greetings

[@valentine75]

The turbo compound I drove last year had buttons on the dash to select drive modes. I wasn’t a fan and like you would have preferred a stalk on the steering column

Its called a performance button as itdont give u any more power.....what it actually does is make the shift down gear quicker so u dont loose momentum 😉🤙

Listening on how the turbo compound works, it sounds like how the ERS/hybrid system works in F1 in a glance

How loud is the engine sound inside the cabin can u rate it from 1to10?

[@astro1218]

What’s the reason for the 6x2 configuration. Seems to be very popular in the UK , here in Australia no one runs that style of axle setup. always 2x8 and very rarely a 2x4. Always interesting to see what everyone around the world is doing.

[@madMX96]

on 44t middle axle must be used to avoid road damage, so weight is distributed more.

[@theworldaccordingtochris4370]

10.4mpg at what weight?

[@chalky042]

I do like the Volvo’s, especially the XXL cab, does anyone know if the XXL cab can pull a 13.6 m trailer?

[@johna6968]

I think it depends on the type of operation used. General haulage possibly not.

[@ajidamarjati]

Yeah but unfortunately, Volvo still maintain the 2020/2021 FH's gear selector next to the driver's seat. Although they advertised it as "more ergonomic shifter design". But i do like the new instrument cluster, it's digital now.

[@hansmutta2549]

Is it for sell??

[@tonystrucking9577]

can these trucks have longer sleepers? (im from America btw)

[@kaarel545]

Yes, but I believe it was quite expensive. Also in Europe trucks with semi trailers are limited to 16.5m. If you were to get the extended cab you would be limited in the choice of trailers...

[@tonystrucking9577]

@@kaarel545 oh thanks for telling me

[@garethifan1034]

No - technically - if you increase the tractor length you'd have to decrease your trailer length to meet the length regs. A longer cab is available - but are hardly ever optioned for this reason. Be good for liquid or tipper work where trailers are shorter because of the heavy weights.

[@thomaslerche318]

Dear Stavros969: I Love Your Videos. So Thorough. Great Video this time as well and its Lovely the Volve FH 500 TC. I wanted to ask you some questions Please. You are an independant Truck-Driver and You have your own company, I believe from your father, if I am not mistaken and that you drive loads with your own trucks, isn´t that correct? I myself really want to become a truck-driver. But how do you find your loads, Stavros? Do you use some of the "Load-Boards" in Europe, like for instance 123Cargo, Eulogis, Della, etc. or how? I would guess that by now, you have your own faithfull clients, but is it possible to make a living via Load-Boards in Europe, just like many do in the US? Do you have your own trailer or do you just have your truck and then the load comes in an already loaded trailer or what? Is it absolutely necessary to have your own trailer, to survive as a truck-driver in Europe or is it possible without owning your own trailer? Thanks Very Much in Advance. Sincerely Thomas Lerche.

[@ehsnils]

I would like you to try out the Volvo LNG truck as well. (OK, I'm partial since I was involved with it)

[@varunlokre]

Hey Stavros, I really like your videos. I saw that you mentioned about the Ad Blu in the DAF and this Volvo video. Just wanted to ask, what exactly does the Ad-Blu do, like how does it help or how is it useful to the tractor or while driving?

[@chappy2121]

It is to reduce the exhaust gas emissions. It is basically Urea (the yellow bit in your pee) mixed with some water and it gets dosed into the exhaust system to reduce certain chemicals coming out the exhaust pipe. They're using it in most diesel vans and cars now

[@sjanst]

how much difference does the turbo compound makes in real life?

[@bigrigger3762]

Hate the dashboard design in these, and the plastics feel cheap, crying out for a facelift, but they’ve only just launched the all new FM with the same frontal styling as the FH. The big gaping grille looks horrible imo. We had one on demo a few weeks ago and tbh not many drivers were that keen on it. We are 100% Daf, and don’t care what a lot say about Dafs they’re a bloody good truck.

[@angrycarguynerd5799]

Wait, you said that the front blind doesn't go all the way down. That means if you live in that truck, you'll compromise privacy.

[@mcdowellbuses]

Love that Volvo u getting ne Volvo trucks them?

[@MuhammadNasir-sc3bh]

Sir can I get UK HGV driving license and drive a truck on work permit

[@colinbourne8345]

Scania used them for years on the 470,480 and e5 420's i think... Brilliant idea but you need to change the turbo at a sensible mileage because if it blows on the exhaust side the only place the impeller will go is straight into the compounder... Then your into a rather large repair bill.. Plus it adds more back pressure to the engine thus raising already hight EGT that modern trucks run at... In my opinion these will become an unreliable truck at high mileage

[@ram89572]

Any time you make an engine more complicated that's what happens. Adding all that extra after treatment crap is what has made them not last as long as they did when I was a kid back in the 90s and early 00s. Just like how I've got a reliable Vortec V8 in my Chevy pickup but the new engines Chevy offers in the Silverado all have that cylinder deactivation crap that ruins the engine around 100k miles. I've personally got 150k and still going strong. My dad's Silverado is 3 years older and has about 215k miles still running strong. But those trucks were 2004 and 2001 respectively and the new ones get less reliable each year thanks to "improvements" in engine efficiency technology
