SCANIA V8 Fanboy Drives A Fully Electric VOLVO |

[@Danfazza-ey6mx]

Love how he said 300km range to make it sound like a lot… to put it in to simple terms you couldn’t do 4 hour’s drive in it before it needed recharging. The concept of electric vehicles is fine but the technology and infrastructure in this country isn’t up to scratch to go full electric in another few years. Good vid tim

[@deano3580]

True is not a huge range. They will be used to pull lighter loads on set, predictable routes for now. Charging will have to be at the depot only. There is another video about Tesla semis being used on crisp haulage in California. The economics will also have to work out as haulage is a numbers business first and foremost.

[@Danfazza-ey6mx]

@@deano3580 I get what your saying and like I said the concept of all electric vehicles is great and I’m for it so long as the infrastructure and technology in terms of battery range gets better and places to charge improves. My main reason for not buying a electric car boils down to lack of range on a full charge.

[@redcollective]

@@Danfazza-ey6mx 400-600kms range on a Janus electric conversion with a hot swappable battery. Things are moving really quickly.

[@jamiedpsiphone3g]

This truck is mainly for deliveing into central London and other places where diesels will be banned before long not running the length of the country. Looks a cool piece of kit!

[@dannymorris6848]

This country isn’t even ready for electric cars let alone trucks, imagine a charge station full of trucks, cars, coaches 😂😂it would be like operation stack on the m20 !!never going to work

[@richyman1988]

I think all Volvos look so nice, just such a clean pure design.

[@TomOG_]

Great video Tim. It's strange seeing trucks going electric too, but this one is still a nice truck

[@janvanrookhuijzen8309]

Your reaction in the first minute is pure gold. Truckers get a very pleasant future with these electric trucks. Embrace the future.

[@tmdosu]

I think they're great for local jobs. In Romania I've started seeing electric delivery vans. It's cool becase they can come on quiet streets (like mine) without waking up people. It just calls/messages you before arriving, to be outside and take the package. no noise, better for nightshift

[@garrygrant2827]

Hi Tim I was really really impressed by the electric volvo unit with 32 tonnes fully loaded. I have driven artic trucks for 35years . How advanced trucks have become in last 20 years is quite breathtaking to be honest. That volvo sure had your voice Tim. You looked very surprised at how it could pull .the only sad thing for owner operator would be cost to buy or even lease but jit is the future so bring it on. Now that long nose scania is a serious bit of kit loved the paint job a real work of art plus that huge beast of a v8 under the hood , A lot of money has been well spent on it a real eye opener an head Turner a great credit to its owner. Loved the video Tim

[@showme360]

As with all things electric the upfront costs are scarry, but the long term costs puts a smile on the bosses face. So don't be fall when they turn to you and say they cannot afford to pay you more!!! lol

[@tomerivan]

If you didn't put the 730 T-cab at the end, I would actually have thought that Volvo kidnaped you... Glad that they didn't - because the V8's are awesome!

[@MarkGaudie]

That’s a huge buffer on that battery pack. 30% that your can’t access. Normally it’s around 10-20% reserved. I get it, for longevity but still seems excessive!

[@TheUnreadableUser]

This has to be my top 5 trucker tim trucker tim videos EVER! It's so fun seeing tim Try out different things! Great video tim.

[@SxpticFlxsh]

These electric lorries are going to be phenomenal for inner city drops... on the motorway they might be harder to run because of mileage limitations. All hail the legendary V8's

[@ThePapaja1996]

hybrid or fuelcell

[@SxpticFlxsh]

@@ThePapaja1996 ey? V8's use fuel and E Lorries use batteries 😊

[@JohanHultin]

For cities this is an amazing truck tbh, right tool for the right job springs to mind. Doing long haul logging? Well, a fossil engine will obviously be better suited for that. Running baked goods to a supermarket downtime at 4am, electrics here to save the day.

[@markleese-gc2uh]

Hi Tim it’s Oscar, you passed my dad in his BJ waters lorry. He was just in front of the Mike Pontsenby lorry you commented on.

[@jake8793]

Love the juxtaposition of driving the electric truck then straight into the T730 🤣

[@paulleaver8820]

You still can't beat a good old v8

An electric will always beat an ICE especially up hill see here and then regen the batteries on the way down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpK5n5-cpb6iirc

[@lpdirv]

@@paulleaver8820 it will be cute to have V8’s in antiques. Other than that they are done for new trucks. Just too expensive to run VS Electric.

[@chrishines6048]

Great video as always Tim. It's strange seeing normal everyday trucks going electric, but that electric Volvo did look nice

[@britishfilmguy]

The electric volvo was quite impressive, and a decent range to which wasn't to bad, brilliant vlog Tim stay safe fella 👍

[@dark_one1337]

That T cab is pure stellar Mate. As a Person who worked for a Truck manufracturer and worked on Prototype and Experimental Vehicles, Not flaming, I can tell ye Electric Trucks (Electric vehicles in general are ineficent as fook the larger they get) are the WORST vehicles ever, If somthing breaks it breaks ye, because it's so expensive, ye get bankrupt, ye have tae go tae the Dealer, because no one ever is willing tae put a hand on it and those who dae chanrge a fortune, If ye have a breakdown ye Fooked also, cause: if its on fire ,theFiredepartment closes the road and watch it burning down, if ye stop in a tunnel ye ned a special wrecker tae pull it because, it could spark and short circut ,what could be lethal to the REC person, In general all Battery Electric Vehicles are the death of our Planet and should nae be hyped or favored (fact Euro6 is so clean,if ye light a match, it generates more emissions than the Diesel and they purify air in tunnels) apart from the fact that they will kill a lot of jobs and whole industry branches, what will cause a massive unimployment wave and class divission of poor and rich.

[@blackbirdmark495]

The Volvo place in Warwick is not far away from me, it’s nice to see inside the buildings. Another excellent video & a nice insight as to what electric trucks can do. 👍

[@KuroSanArts]

There's a recent Fully Charged vid about a company that has been converting existing trucks to electric and it uses a swappable battery system that can be done in just a few mins. I think while the technology is changing so quickly, that their method makes so much more sense than the enclosed system used in other vehicles like the Volvo! It is a nice truck though, I bet the price requires you to be sitting in a chair to hear it though lol

[@Piglife101]

Drove an electric car for the first time last year. Sold straight away. The silence is so relaxing

[@GeorgeD-ir5ow]

[@roryadams702]

300 Km range that is terrible that less than what most 8 wheelers do a day

[@RichPAFC1987]

These in the near future will be a requirement within London, so can see the big firms setting up yards around the M25 for swaps between diesel and electric tractor units.

[@joelhall8355]

The electric truck looks great with the lower cab height which would reduce some forward blindspots, but that T cab was on another level

[@jayd1974]

Jeez that Scania T Cab is ☝️ the best trucks I’ve seen superb👌

[@AdotBooM]

This is brilliant! The more i watch Trucker Tim videos the more i want to drive a truck, currently working in haulage but would rather drive :)

[@trainspotter66]

These video get better every time I swear but they are always good. Well done Tim ❤😊

[@sishabadab6570]

Have you ever seen electric cars when they catch fire. ? Imagine the battery pack on this vehicle going up in flames. Even a relatively small Tesla can take 40,000 gallons of water to extinguish it.. Sobering thought for the Fire Brigade.

Keep up the good work Tim and lovely electric truck

[@fd5903]

800 km range + 30mn charging time is the answer.

[@MrAdopado]

The reason you get more range in town is not because you do lots of regenerative braking. The reason is simply because you are driving more slowly. The regenerative braking can only return about 70% of what you already added by accelerating ... so even with regen braking you are still losing some energy overall, though a lot less than you would if you were just using the energy heating up your brakes.

Hi tim you make my Tuesday 100x better keep up with the good work 👍🤠

[@roberts.wilson1848]

At this moment in time, i think that the trailers should be the ones having batteries, a lot of them, capable of traversing 1000 miles in one go, on top of what the tractor truck is capable. The trailers are rented only and to be detached at a destination, and then charged up there. Ofc the shipping company will pay for the energy fill, just like they do for regular fuel in the present day trucks. The main advantage is that any warehouse out there has huge roofs that are gathering dust. Those could be filled to the brim with solar panels and thus generate FREE energy. The trailers will lose some payload capacity for the delivery, but this is the best measure to allow the semitrailer trucks to work efficiently, and as new battery techs get developed and enter consumer grade usage, simply swap out the present day gen with the new ones. Thus reducing the weight penalty.

[@simonbroddle754]

Great video with zero emissions, but the environment and social impact of the amount of rare elements to make those batteries must be staggering. It would be interesting to know how many thousands of tonnes needed to be mined to achieve the batteries. When you're at TruckFest there will be a lot of F88's that will be well over 50 years old and running like new. I have a sneaky feeling this truck will have been "recycled" a long time before then.

[@impy1980]

Great to see others clued up about the environmental impact of "green" products, it's not the silver bullet it's made out to be and benefits need to be weighed up. Keeping vehicles on the road as long as possible will be greener than manufacturing a new vehicle. Great comment, happy to see at least some people haven't been brainwashed into blindly following the next narrative!

[@macky4074]

Really good for inner city multi drop work like I do, for all your distance work I think Germany trialled a good idea with a pantograph taking current from overhead lines above lane 1 and diesal engine for all other driving. No battery's to worry about minimal maintenance and no range issues. But no way our U.K government would invest in that kind of infrastructure imo

[@johndrew3202]

Incredible Tim, a real statement of the future for trucking, but I did not hear the price of that one.

[@TruckerTim]

It was smart!

[@hugheffo]

So basically, fully loaded you might get 180 miles, on a warm day. Then you have to find somewhere to park and charge, as I’m guessing you could not use standard EV chargers. So for every 3+ hours of driving, you have to stop for an hour to charge. No chance of being a long distance lorry driver in one of these. Also your weight you can carry must be reduced, as you have to allow the weight of the battery pack, which I’m guessing weighs the best part of a ton

[@acourierfromtheuk]

Way better than the diesel thats banned from driving, already happens to cars on bad days. Just a question of time when it will happen to trucks, if it dont already...

[@Xanthopteryx]

Yes they are. Doing work all over the place. Most of the transport is city close and you never drive more each day in those transports. That is the thing - this WORKS, and that is why Volvo have, i think 6 models now?, because there is a demand for it.
