I have been in love with Scania since my childhood. My late Uncle used to own a fleet of Benz, DAF, MAN, VOLVO, and SCANIA that were roaming around Congo D.R., Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Among the Scania, some were used as technical support vehicles, and uncle used to come with one of them by the house every time he was in town; he will get me drive around with me. In the area where I used to live, most of the trucks around were MAGIRUS DEUTZ, TOYOTA 6000, Renault JE 13, and the army dedicated 6x6 MAN. Since, the sound of a SCANIA was so distinctive, I could recognize it from a distance and scream UD (the truck had big U & D letters on the sides of the container that it used to have) every time my uncle had come around. I was like six years old at the time. I love the Scania content Bruce; keep them coming.

[@CaptanTaco]

Bruce I hope Scania can compete in the trucking industry in the future here in the USA🇺🇸

[@RedAppleApe]

They could. But not on the price bc it isn’t worth building up a whole factory only for the US market and the taxes to import are top high on trucks. The other thing is that Scania is owned by Volkswagen and they own also 100% of Navistar. So they would had to fight one of their own daughters in the US against the powerfull big competitors. I mean they definitely could compete especially on short distance hauling and city areas bc of the small footprint. And on long distance they would fit on the frame size of a Peter nearly a house in the cabin with all the befenits of a Scania.

[@deeeeeeeench1209]

They can dominate you just need open minded people and a big shake up in your trucking industry right down to the trailers

[@precisiondiesel225]

I’ve always been a big fan of cab overs. This truck is bad ass. When you compare this truck to a Peterbilt, International or Freightliner, they are 100yrs apart. But compared to a Volvo truck, here in the states, of the same year, there’s not much difference. Volvos have the air lock on the tilt steering. Heated and cooled seats, keyless entry and remote start, the Volvo dynamic steering is next level safety. The Volvo FMX 8x8 is a very capable off-road class 8 truck. Everything you find in a Volvo car or SUV, the trucks have.

That locomotive sound is because they enabled the exhaust valve. 7:44 Martjin shows it here. Basically switching between normal and straight pibe.

What factory are you going to in Sweden? In Oskarshamn they do the cabs for Scaina and I was part of the team of electricians back in 2016 who rebuilt part of the painting stage. Before the rebuild of the line the glue for the windshield was put on the clear coat, but what we did was an extra step where tape is put on the base coat around the window frame before painting. After the cab is painted the tape is removed and the glue is put on the basecoat. Makes for a better bond. My brother is a trucker and has a yellow Scania, he loves his job. Good luck with your trip Bruce and welcome to Scandinavia!

Thanks for sowing us the Scania RV. That thing is so nice.

[@SimonPower65]

Im enjoying this content so much Bruce. Thank you. Ive been driving Scanias since passing my test in 1990 including recently the new gen. We take them for granted here in Scotland as we dont know much else. Its a shame you didnt get a chance to drive it in the dark as the lights on the new gen are amazing. Thanks again and i look forward to your future content. ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What amazes me the most between US and EU trucks is the difference in visibility. Wether it's blind spots, mirror position, outside overall view or lights. I drive a 2022 G410 daycab in the french Alps.

That's a beautiful Scania! Well over $1,000,000. Definitely a well built all terrain beast that you can disappear for months at a time!

[@Zirion123]

Its prob around 350-400k usd to buy a new next gen plus do this to it

[@ihmesekoilua]

yeah just the camper part is easily 400-500k. Custom built off-road capable campers of this size are pretty expensive.

Don't forget, it's $1.000.000 in The Netherlands, its very heavy taxed. To put that in perspective, a VW Golf R have a base price of $45.455 in US. This exactly the same car have a base price of $87.450 in The Netherlands. Same goes for a Tiguan, starts from $28k in US, $47.5 in Holland, and that car isn't even near the trimlevel of its US counterpart. I recon this beautiful Scania would be 500~750k when it would be possible to buy that thing in the US 😉

@@ihmesekoilua Also pretty redundant since its illegal to drive off-road in most of european countries. Busses converted to RV's are more common

[@ihmesekoilua]

@@DuBstep115 yeah, but this caliber of trucks aren't bought to be driven around Europe, they are made for Morocco and Tunisia, or trips to the 'stans and Mongolia. Besides, they are bad-road vehicles, not off-road vehicles. I saw a few similar trucks up in northern Scandinavia this summer - it's quite possible to get away from civilization and get a bit of mud on the tyres in Europe as well.

Love the Scania content. Being from the UK we see these everywhere. Occasionally the T series too. But bonnets on truck here are rare.
