Off-road with a heavy truck in the mountains of Norway

[@Helge_Refsnes]

Fantastic trip in the Norwegian mountain. Narrow roads and steep hills with lots of turns. Very good driving skills. Thanks for the ride.

[@adrianopol]

Many thanks

[@Pcontracts83]

this is a prime example of a good driver. I'm lucky enough to work in parts supply in Norway (incl. Mercedes Trucks), so this is one of our main customers! Trucking in Norways hills is for the pro guys.

[@adrianopol]

Thanks for the appreciation, but honestly, there are many drivers who have better skills than mine.

[@jdxtube68]

Pretty cold summer at 12 degrees C. We rarely get that in winter in Australia in most places. Lovely video. Thanks.😀

[@adrianopol]

We had an 8 degree in July but and 27 degree in same summer. Thanks, too.

Hello Concrete Man, this was an incredible trip, and I really think this was probably one of the best videos you've done. You are very skilled to be driving that huge truck through those narrow tunnels and roads. Lovely scenery thanks! 😁👍

I've loved the exibition of the Psalm. From Brazil.

[@adrianopol]

It was my first thought that I had in my mind when I saw the landscape.

[@DMSparky]

What does this video have going for it? -An incredibly competent driver/operator. -Going though some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world. -With high quality equipment. -Also sharing the road with other competent drivers -On an absolutely crazy road. -Well shot and edited. Edit: I'm almost certainly sure this wouldn't be allowed here in Canada and you'd have to heli it the last stretch.

Thanks for this extensive analysis. I appreciate you following me. The new episode is coming soon.

[@MrPerry61]

The last 8 years of my driving career was operating a cement mixer truck in the Ozark mountains in Arkansas USA. We went to some pretty wild locations, a couple times we needed a bulldozer to help pull us up the steeper inclines. And getting stuck up to our axles was a common occurrence.

[@adrianopol]

It's a shame that you don't have videos from there.

[@komigenDK]

hi really cool movie you made the skill you Norwegians trukers must have is largely compared to a Dane 😉, the road from the gate up the mountain is it private?

[@adrianopol]

Thanks for the appreciation. We had access for trucks, but I don't know if it is also open to tourism. It leads to a hydroelectric plant. Theoretically, I think it is open.

[@magnusm-jensen3710]

what is your balance % between engine braking and using the air brakes ? so that you prevent overheating the brakes going downhill. Beautiful nature what a place to have a office :) and you make this look easy.

[@adrianopol]

There is no balance rule when it comes to braking. It depends a lot on the experience and skills of the driver. But, you must be sure to use the engine brake in most situations. Yes, excessive use of the service brake can overheat the wheels. Heavy trucks have an extra engine brake called a retarder. It closes the intake ducts, thus slowing down the car.

[@ViDiaz]

@@adrianopol Thanks firstly for sharing your videos and second, if that truck has the retarder, the Mercedes Benz retarder, I only can say that is the best brake you can have... I usually drove in the past a 1998 Mercedes Benz 2540 3 axle V6 engine and telligent gearbox... It was a nice truck and the thing I remember the most is that super effective retarder, never drove a truck with similar "brakes"... Awesome! and btw... those mountains are incredibly nice... a pity not every mountain road is open for the public; i know some of them you have to pay a toll and others are closed to 4x4 vehicles like mine...

[@AlexJeffDust-RenAzuma66]

@@adrianopol Slightly late reply, but are you not worried about the rear wheels locking on a loose surface like this during engine braking or using the retarder? Or, do you have the longitudinal differential locks engaged, or is this mixer heavy enough where that's not a problem like it is on a 4x2 tractor?

[@adrianopol]

@@AlexJeffDust-RenAzuma66 it is dangerous to use retarder on ice. But in this situation it is ok to use.

nice, but where's the 'off-road' part?

[@adrianopol]

Thanks for the question. When we talk about off road, people often have only one image in mind. But there are several types of offroad: rally raid, cross-country, rock crawling, muding, dune blashing, green laning. There is no space here to describe each one separately, but the above episode falls into this last type called: "green laning"

[@karabetajamian3869]

do you use jack brake or do call it as retarder brake and at which stage 1 2 3 ?

[@adrianopol]

I use the engine brake, which brakes more efficiently using the retarder. The level of use of the retarder depends a lot on how loaded I am and how steep the respective valley is.

Dear friend, in my opinion, followers of any religion, even atheists, are respected, and I want to say a sentence that respects all opinions....I have understood that even if we believe by our own free will that there is no God, we really cannot Let's consider beauty and wonder as the birth of the Big Bang or any other spontaneous evolution. I said the rosary not because if I do this I will go to heaven, but I am in the middle of heaven and our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters are beautiful heavenly nymphs and the only hell that exists is the hell of our bad behavior such as selfishness, anger or unforgiveness. ....in my opinion, heaven is not a place outside of this world and hell is exactly our bad behavior....I hope we appreciate this heaven....and understand what great intelligence and great artist is behind this creation. ... Paradise has no taste in front of God.... The real taste of life in this world and the hereafter is realized only by seeing God.... I have the best wishes for you
