It's amazing what a truck can do when the ground is straight and level and the traction is good. This is the same concept that makes railroads so efficient. Try operating this same combination on the highways in the mountains of Colorado!!! LOL!!

That Scania was originally made for the Scandinavian mountains. It's V8 is extremely good at pulling at low RPM and it's low the mountains... the Only truck I can think about that can pull harder and more is those Volvo's but then both company comes from Scandinavia and build trucks for extreme winter roads over mountains, so to say it this was, the Scania specially the R730 V8 would do a drive by of any truck up any hills, but then the Volvo FH16 750-770 would do that to. The do not have that old classic cool look as US trucks, they have more the modern look, Scania's in correct colors can look very cool, but these trucks are mainly build around big powerful engines like 730/750 hp and over 3500 nm+, and I have seen and Scania that had the engine computer changed boosting the engine to 830 hp and over 4800 nm! but it all come down to the gears. Volvo have made perfect gears for there engine, The Scania's gear are not that great have I heard.
