Winter Storm Disaster on A22 Higway - Brenner - Feb 1, 2019

[@Namtov]

Sand. Always carry a couple of buckets with sand. Trucks dont have a lot of traction, especially if they are not fully loaded. Trucks dont get stuck because they cant push the snow aside, but because they dont have traction. When I was a truckdriver we always carried sand or gravel in the winter. Much easier than the snowchains. I have been stuck on the Brenner a few times, but the easiest solution is to just look at the weather in advance and start a 9 hour mandatory sleepbreak when you hit a snowstorm. Southern Europe only ! Scandinavia you have to learn to deal with the snow. Appropriate tires, practice the snowchains, Coolingtime of tires etc. But boy it was fun to be a truckdriver :-)

Bersus Actually, it was one of the worst hours I remember in my life. There was a moment I wanted to take my family and walk to the exit of the tunnel. What can you do? Convince dozens of drivers to turn off the engines? Unreal. The only thing that comforted me was the natural draft that probably resulted from the difference in entry and exit levels of the tunnel. A really fucking situation...

PS The problem is that tunnel fans did not turn up at all. There were 20m ahead of us and they were whirling slowly driven by natural draft. The smell of exhaust outside was unbearable. Only that I have a cabin carbon filter which I switched some time on for a few minutes let us survive somehow. The worst is the helplessness of the situation because you can not do anything unless you leave the car and walk. As I now watch the movie, it does not look scary, but those were really bad times.😬

I was under the impression that you had to have winter tyres and tyre chains to go over any of the European mountains I know I had to have snow chains going montblanc in winter time and winter tyres so what's the big problem have the drivers gone soft or wot.

[@RadekPogoda]

Michael Baker - there are no winter tyres for big trucks. Chains - yes, but installed on typical all season tyres. Trucks in USA / Canada are usually 3 axle - one for steering and two for traction. As prices of fuel are drastically higher in Europe, trucks here are two-axle only. And it is much, much less effective I snowy conditions, as there’s not enough traction for a heavy load.

[@miloe436]

Italy: "Although it is not obligatory to carry snow chains on board the vehicle, they must be fitted when crossing Alpine passes in winter and on all other snow-covered roads in compliance with the relevant road sign. A minimum of one pair of chains must be fitted per vehicle."

The EU tractor trailer combination is unsuitable on icy and snowy roads. In winter in Scandinavia we see a lot of midle- and east european tractor trailers get stuck and and prevents normal truck traffic. The tractor has to be at least one meter longer than the EU-tractor to be safe on winter roads. Best is a 24 to 25,25 meter combination with a 3 axle truck (6 x 2) and a draw bar trailer.

Questo non è un disastro di neve. Accade ogni anno in Italia, in Lombardia, in Veneto, in Trentino. La neve è normale e la quantità che si deposita non è particolarmente elevata. INoltre in febbraio sull'autostrada del brennero, al confine tra Italia e Austria, le nevicate sono fattori naturali che non dovrebbero destare particolari problemi. I mezzi devono essere attrezzati e si deve essere preparati a questo fin dai primi mesi di Dicembre. Quindi non è stata una nevicata eccezzionale a creare tutto questo ma l'incuria e l'assoluta mancanza di manutenzione che la società Autostrade dovrebbe e doveva fare. E che invece non ha fatto. Le colpe sono inoltre degli automobilisti ignari che non hanno osservato la prescrizione di dotarsi di mezzi antisdruciolevoli, catene o pneumatici da neve. A tutto questo si deve aggiungere l'inadeguatezza delle infrastrutture italiane che, difronte a 20 cm di neve, mandano al collasso una Autostrada e interi paesi e regioni. Non diamo la colpa a madre Natura. In questi casi Lei non c'entra nulla. Diamo la colpa a chi non ha fatto nulla per evitare tutto questo e chi si è avventurato in mezzo ad una tormenta senza sapere cosa stava facendo. E da italiano io mi vergogno ad avere un paese di ebeti che non è capace a pulire una Autostrada.

I understand that many countries in Europe (like Austria) require passenger vehicles to have snow tyres in winter months. Does the same applies to lorries? Thx - Colorado winter warrior

[@jonny2954]

Yes, that also applies to lorries. The tires aren't the problem here. The problem is that european 4x2 tractors have really shitty weight distribution for driving on snow. Even with chains they're fucked. On 4x2 trucks the fifth wheel is placed in front of the rear drive axle, thus distributing the weight between the rear drive axle and the (not driven) front axle. That's bad. In scandinavian countries as example you will rarely see 4x2. They drive 6x2 with a rear lift axle (middle axle is driven). The fifth wheel is placed exactly above or sometimes even slightly behind the driving axle, putting as much weight as possible on the driving axle once the rear axle is lifted. Norwegian trailers also often have the wheels placed further back because of this, so even more weight is put on the driving axle. Cargo placement in the trailer is also an issue.

I would hate to be on that in a single axle semi no interlock that would suck especially in short wheel base cab over.

[@lorenzorossi8671]

imagine that and having just one cigarette.

[@joesphbest3120]

VW pickups we don't have in this country.

[@TheSmartodd]

Not a single truck with chains?!

[@lehighvalleydave4597]

yeah i was just wondering whats with all the 3 axle trailers.....must be hauling alot of weight but im sure their laws aren't the same but who knows lol....its Italy lol

[@MrSabretooth19]

3 axle trailers are the norm across europe, we carry more weight as standard. we gross 44 tonnes or 88000 pounds.

[@paolobernardi5395]

E le colpe gravi sono anche di quei camionisti che non capiscono che si devono mettere in coda a destra e non sorpassare se non sono in grado di avanzare. Ogni volta è la stessa cosa. ed ogni volta che nevica i disastri li creano in gran parte loro. Il video ne è prova lampante.

[@valtterifani]

And to sweden and finland. We not need thosekind drivers here in winter time. Weather like that scandinavian trucks still drives alteast 85km/h without any problems.

[@Hedge-Hog]

When did you last see 6000 truck per hour on a road in Norway ?

[@valtterifani]

Dosent matter how meny trucks there see an hour. Only what is important are they stuck or moving foward. That 6000 trucks a hour not means anything if they all drive that normal speed then not come trafficjams and roads not need close.

[@manueltasser6323]

At next norning, there were 2 meters of snow

[@cw3339]

don't they have snow plows in Europe?

[@ArturKomorowski]

Of course they have, but it’s useless when they start when everything is buried and stands in 50 km of traffic ...🤪

[@zhr3k]

Unfortunately, European snow plows can not yet be moved by gaps in the time-span continuum nor are they equipped with propellers like helicopters. ;)

[@nickbeam5432]

Don't they chain up there trucks in this type of situation there ???

[@terrone1976]

Ma nn è possibile ció …eh No!!! A 22 dove cavolo erano gli Spazzaneve e Spargi sale. in quelle Zone e in questo periodo son pronti 24h su 24 ad intervenire.

[@multiodisseo]

Non ho capito cosa è successo . Non conoscevo questa notizia . Spiego : ho smesso di guardare i tg 5 anni fa ; avevo esagerato ed ero diventato dipendente ,guardavo persino quelli cinesi ..........

[@HakapesziM]

About the snowchains. Do you know guys, on the whole fucking Brenner motorway there is not enough shitty parking place? Late afternoon you can not even stop by truck to shit, if there is a call of nature. There is no place in those tiny Autogrill parkings. From Verona up to Brennero. On a simply day you have no chance to find a free place, let alone spending 20 minutes to put on the chains. And chains sometimes not enough. During a heavy snowfall, it would be better to pull aside, and wait for the next day. But where?

[@joesphbest3120]

Adele my favorite, have her in my car now.

[@stanfisher5220]
