A 4x2 tractor with a 3-axle trailer is some kind of European misunderstanding, it can only drive on highways and in summer. A little snow and they become dangerous and cause chaos on the roads.

Thank you. A very good presentation. These various drive axles all have something in common - the final drive (differential) ratio. This ratio affects pulling power , fuel consumption , top speed and engine rpm. This ratio is usually stamped on the differential case. A good rule of thumb is : the higher the ratio, better pulling up hills although with higher gas consumption. Good for gravel pits and very heavy loads .A lower ratio is poor for climbing but allows a higher road speed and better fuel economy. Good for long haul ,flat terrain deliveries . Basically having more drive axles gives better traction and haulage, doesn't necessarily make the tractor more powerful. The real engineering trick is this differential ratio.

8x4 configurations are also usually found on heavy haulage trucks here in the UK and Europe. It offers great weight distribution for transportation of abnormal loads (industrial generators, silos, large concrete pipes, heavy construction machinery, etc...). Sometimes, they can be 8x8s if a higher traction and pulling power is required for the weight of the load, but still follow the conventions of 8x4s for steerable axles (/4, standard 8x8 and *4 as appropriate for where the steering axles are located). The axle configuration of European heavy haulage trucks is usually seperated into a single forward axle and a set of 3 axles at the rear, with the forward axle of that triplet being steerable (8x4/4). It is most common on articulated tractor units. However, 2 sets of 2 axles (2 forward steering and 2 rear driven) (standard 8x4) can also be configured for a heavy haulage artic. The single forward and rear triplet axle set (with a steerable tag axle) (8x4*4) can also be configured, but is most commonly found on rigid/box (what Europe calls Tandem) trucks.

While you are right how the normal heavy haul config looks, it is infact not 3 rear and 1 front axle, it is classified as 2 front 2 rear, as the 2 front axles are directly linked to each other, the distance between the front 2 amd rear 2 is just 0

The 6x4 long nose semi might be the norm for over the road trucking in the USA, but the short 4x2 conventional semi is also fairly common as well. Especially in the less than truckload realm where city pick ups at multiple stops or ease of use with multiple shorter trailers between cities is an advantage. And in certain parts of the US, the 8x4/4 semi is also decently common, especially the PNW, mountain west, and in Hawai'i. Though those in Hawai'i tend to be on much shorter wheelbases than their PNW/Rockies cousins.

Most everything else is done with straight trucks of varying sizes and is more similar to some asian countries because of it.

This video confuses me a little... All axles rotate otherwise they'd be skids :), but it's being used in the steering sense here. In the UK it appears we just call them steering axles - '2nd steer', 'rear-steer' etc. I've always thought of the 1st number being the number of hubs on the truck, with a wheel being a rim and tyre. Hearing someone say a 6x2 has 6 wheels feels odd as to me there are two wheels on each rear hub. Working at DAF dealers for nearly 20yrs now, I still enjoy picking up knowledge - it never stops. Thanks for the videos.

Two driving axles don't allow trucks to carry more weight in Europe. It's only the amount of axles, the distance between the axles and if the axles have single or dual wheels that determine the maximum total weight. It's also very common to use Robson drives. This is a free rolling cylinder that is pushed in between driving and free rolling wheels so both wheels will be driving wheels. The Robson is only for temporary use because it causes wear to the tires.

I heard some 6x4 chassis equiped with taglift axle too.. so the truck can configured as 6x2*2 for fuel saving.. Is it true?

Interesting. The closest I get to truck driving is Euro Truck Simulator 2 where I use a Scania 6x4 (Long Chassis). One thing I get confused about is axel weights/how they are calculated etc. Might be worth a video?

You are definitively wrong about 6x2. I put over 100k miles on a Peterbilt 6x2 in the USA. The tandem axles are rated in combination for 35k lbs just like on a 6X4. Generally a 6x2 are fine in normal highway conditions in good weather. The problem with 6x2 lies in driving over any kind of uneven surface and/or in poor weather conditions where they are not good. The worst configuration is where the 2nd axle is the driven axle and the 3rd axle is fixed (not a lowerable tag). In this configuration the drive axle can become bridged between the front and rear axles effectively immobilizing the truck with no or little contact between the 2nd axle and the pavement.

There are a few 10 x 10 configurations here in America, I don’t know about the UK, primarily on military, rotary wreckers, or the new military PLS

6x2 is the most common rigid truck used in Japan. It is proven most efficient & reliable. So that's why it is so easy to reach a million kilometer mark.

Nice video. I have a question: What is the criteria for using double wheels? From what I have seen, only the non-steered drive wheels are double, is this correct? There are exceptions? (Talking about regular trucks or semi-trucks)
