Scania 4-series Truck of the Year 1996 with Jeremy Clarkson

Scania promotional VHS from 1996.
Featuring a Scania 144L 530, Scania 114L 340 and older Scania 113M 360.
Presented by Jeremy Clarkson
Some tape dropout near the end leading to lipsync issues. I might do a better quality capture in the future, also with higher quality deinterlacing.

[@alpzepta]

I love how Scania 4 series from 1996 still more modern looking than a 2024 Peterbilt 389

[@gibattiston]

389 is meant to be classic and not to be modern, you have to compare it with Peterbilt 387

[@Irontree85]

All Peterbilts are beautiful machines made for real truck drivers. Double shifting worse nightmare for European truck drivers. Scania is just Scania.

[@alpzepta]

Don’t get me wrong I love Peterbilt but having wide choices of truck like in Australia (Scania, Peterbilt, Isuzu, Foton, and maybe Kamaz?) would have been awesome

[@gibattiston]

@@Irontree85 Just accept that American trucks are outdated with unsynchronized transmissions that are a thing of the 1930s. And European engines are dominating the American market.

[@jeroenknot6796]

​@topfuelbike9556 I rather have a Eaton 13 speed than the automatic 12speed they fit standard (in my case in a volvo fh4) For the rest..I wouldnt run a Pete or a K-Whopper on these European roads, infrastructure is not made for these kind of wheelbase,not even when you pull a(for us measurements small) 45ft curtainside three axle Trailer. By the way, since Peterbilt &Kenworth are owned By Paccar they show quite some similarities with there Dutch sister DAF.

[@kagettadashi4214]

I think the good sale of 4-series Scania is imposed, one of them, by Clarkson. The other reason is, it is absolutely beatiful designed truck. And I think, there is no other person that can deliver presentation or advertising better than mr. so-called Jeremy Clarkson. It is just like someone storytelling about something that a lot of people may won't care about, to be interesting and entertaining.

[@miguelcardoso1903]

And it is a very reliable truck like the 3 series. Sometimes I can see one of both still kicking, 25-30 years later the day they were registered. Same thing with the Volvo FL7/FL10/FH12 series

[@Lewis_Treff97]

Strange watching this after watching the trio do a lorry challenge and having no clue about them 😂. I do say though that those Scanias have aged really well

[@NewRailBasher]

4 series Scanias are brilliant trucks.

[@montesa35]

This was the same year when the Mitsubishi Fuso in the Japanese market launched their semi-truck called the "Super Great". The design of these trucks particularly the side view has changed almost nothing for the past 28 years. Only those front design panels had just a few minor changes. So Scania & Fuso truck design dont really change them often.

[@bmad1386]

Fuso only started changing noticeably(a bit) when they got acquired by Daimler-Benz. Nowadays Fuso has been losing a bit of reputation due to slight decline in build quality(namely the engines) Their legendary V8s are still around and coveted in southeast asia

[@Finnmarken91]

Absolutely love the Scania 4-Series design and in my opinion it's the 4-Series that really set the standard for European forward cab design today aside from the Daf XF.

Think its kinda funny, thats in this ad, he can drive a truck no problem. BUTTTT in topgear. He cant

[@douglasfisher8665]

I drove a Scania 4 Series in 1996 when they first came out. It was a 124L 360 4x2 with an 8 speed splitter box. Spacious Sleeper Cab with night heater 38 Tonne GVW. It was terrific to drive with a lot of power from a fuel efficient engine , the splitter box gave it a bit extra when climbing hills . I drove it for 2 years and spent many nights sleeping in it.

Regarding the capture dropouts. I stopped using the USB capture cards entirely, and bought early 2000´s SONY DVR, that can record on DVD´s. It records the footage as it comes in trough the analog input, without any de-sync, in a superior quality. After you are done recording on the internal hard drive, you can burn it on to rewritable DVD and copy it to the PC. You can really see the difference between these two videos, it should be obvious which is digitized by what. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIS5iaJso6h5bKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZnUpYqdZ5J_jqs
