I'm a American Trucker and I love European trucks .I was in the U.S Army serving in Germany and got to know all of the different makes of trucks,Scania and DAF are my favorite truck. I drive a freightliner Cascadia with DD-13 engi e with 450 Hp with a 10 speed manual gearbox,I love all your great videos.

[@matty6848]

One thing I love about the Irish drivers. They really go to town on their wagons. The extras on the body, the spray jobs they do etc they look brilliant!

[@cristianirimia4649]

Any upgrades on the truck is tax deductible 😉

[@nielsrooiman772]

Hehe you should see the Dutch drivers

[@johngaudet6316]

I drive a 20 year old Volvo truck here in the US with 1.5 million miles, she still runs great !

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Conexus X18 VNL is an american truck. Them running as "volvo" only means they are allowed to borrow designs and tech from European volvo trucks if they want.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Conexus X18 It's not about having better tech and design. Volvo USA simply wanted to save costs by borrowing tech and design from Volvo in Europe. It's simply a business decision. Just like how DAF uses the same engine used by Kenworth and Peterbilt. It's not because americans make better engines, its simply because DAF wanted to save costs by borrowing tech from Paccar instead of creating a whole new engine. And yes, I know that Volvo FH is a Swedish truck. But don't forget, the guy you responded to was talking about Volvo in America. Which means he was talking about Volvo VNL, not FH.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Conexus X18 Well by that logic, then Volvo is not Swedish but is actually CHINESE (Volvo is owned by a Chinese company). End of discussion. If Volvo is not Chinese, then Volvo USA is not Swedish just because they are in partnership with the Swedish Volvo. End of discussion.

[@jopaxx3914]

20 year and only 1.5 mio?

[@danielottzen244]

Volvo car is chines owned not THE Volvo trucks

[@cj6434]

Totally love that turbo sounds when you change the gear on the test drive !!!!

[@martyp2138]

So many cars in Ireland have dump/blow-off valves that sound like that, love 'em! lol

[@Mywhtjp]

I love the sound too.. I think it's because of the exhaust pipes going up the back of the cab. I'd love to hear that turbo sound in the truck I drive too.

[@TomO-zf1vm]

The European trucks may not have the floor space American trucks, but I’d love to drive these trucks. There are so many cool features on these. The storage options, the power train integration, the tires, the interior quality, the engines, much more refined than what I drive. I like my truck and everything, but the European ones have a much more premium feel.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

This is the first time I've really seen the inside of one these. Extremely different from the US. I've seen so many arguments over who's got better trucks, but they're so different I don't even think it's comparable. I personally love seeing how you guys do things though, it's pretty cool. One thing I'm definitely jealous of is the fact that you can have like 18 headlights on your truck. That would be completely illegal here!

[@reddead1037]

[@georgeisaak5321]

Hello Stavros and thank you for showing this masterpiece of a truck to all of us ! Since 89 ( i was 10 years old) I had the privilege and joy to drive along with my uncle Stelios ( Truck driver in Greece ) in several different trucks but the most dominant machine was always either this one ( older version ) or some Scania . To me both are beautiful and Volvo is just the sweetest sound producing truck in the world with straight pipes ! What you just gave us the opportunity to hear while shifting up, that "breathing through metal" sound is music to my ears my friend ! First trip with my uncle in that truck and back home i could reproduce all the sounds it made to my aunt and cousins with my mouth ! V8 engine and pipes , hazard lights , braking sounds , you name it i had it ! Now at my 40s , watching you driving this BEAST brought back memories of my childhood ! thank you Stavros !!!! God bless you !

[@BloodAcidPro]

Fun fact: If you spending the weekend in it and start the engine to charge the battery in the summer or weather where you don't need heating, you should engage the brake on the trailer and release the parking brake in the truck while you charging. The weekend fuel consumption will be half. Reason is the volvo has a choke on the engine to reach near operating temperature faster.

[@wernerdanler2742]

What a beautiful truck. It seemed pretty quiet and smooth inside.

[@nyashakchirume6334]

Loving the sound of the truck. Such power.

[@AtQ_WCH]

Watching your content on YT is always a great pleasure for me. The FH 16 is my favorite truck, and this model is made for me. I enjoyed every detail of this FH with you. Have a nice Sunday and see you next time. Regards.

just finished working at volvo trucks last week, looking forward to work there again. im proud becuz of that time.

[@Car-crazy]

Amazing looking machine. Love the sound of the turbo every time you change gear. Would love to drive something like that.

[@tntfreddan3138]

Love Volvo trucks. Got used to driving a Scania at the company I currently work for, but had to drive a Volvo FH540 yesterday. A rigid chassis truck with a 4-axle full trailer. I've driven Volvo trucks before so it was nothing new, but the change of pace was nice. Electric steering, amazing gear box and mirrors perfect for reversing.

[@casualtrucker]

Just found your vids...excellent! Really enjoy your knowledge of the vehicles you test drive and your great commentary. Top notch productions! I enjoy seeing your European trucks with some outstanding technology on them. Trucking on the “other side of the pond” is very interesting. Some challenges are similar to Canadian Trucking and others...wow, traffic, small roads etc....looks difficult but I guess it’s what you get used to.

[@johnbower7452]

That trucks absolutely gorgeous; I love the theme and the colour. And you Stavros; I like watching you because you love trucks and it shows; you're so interesting to listen to.

[@himeskids]

I can say this. As someone who has driven cab overs and has also driven stand "American style" semis. I definitely have to say that y'all have it better when it comes to design and small features.

First time watching one of your videos! You're like the Irish Doug DeMuro. Show us the Quirks and Features, then take it out on the road for a test drive. The only thing you missed was the "Doug Score" at the end! Great stuff. My ancestors emigrated from Ireland to United States around 1850. Need to visit the home country some time...

[@Alpostpone]

Stavros is much better than DeMuro. DeMuro isn't nearly as insightful, thorough or enterntaining.

[@jdrancho1864]

Yep. Sorry, posted before I found yours.

[@kevinmcdermott8033]

Nice review. In my next life I hope to be born in Ireland. This life I got stuck in U.S.A. it sucks!

[@the.porter.productions]

This is a nice color for the cabover and they did well on adding and blending in the accessories or the outside. 750 horses...that’s quite a bit for a cabover! The automatic transmission seemed to be quite responsive and smooth. I didn’t expect that. I’m not a big Volvo fan, but I was impressed with the truck overall. Thanks for sharing this experience. I bet you really enjoyed the truck...it sure looked like it. I could see a cabover here in the USA having that kind of power! I wonder if Volvo has ever tried to sell their cabovers here in the USA. I even liked the little toolbox on the rear of the truck...that is something that we did on a Peterbuilt cabover several years ago. Cabovers rule! Don’t forget to enjoy the ride.🇺🇸🥰

[@bakielh229]

Your country has essentially made cabovers illegal to go on the road there so you're not going to see one of these any time soon

Although it has 750hp i still prefer the F16 470hp. Best truck that Volvo has ever made! I remember my dad coming up the hill still very far away. My dog was always the first one to know about 10 seconds before anyone could hear him coming. Without mufflers she made a beautiful noise when taking the foot of the accelerator to change gears up the hill. It sounded like she was singing.

[@joshrf997]

Im the same. I love the big 750 Volvos and 730 Scanias but my heart will always be with DAF. Particularly the 105XF as my dad a beautiful 2007 model that pulled anything which was surprising considering it only had 460hp. Boy did she sound good 😍
