American Reacts to UNBELIEVEABLE Reverse Heavy Cargo Maneuver in Europe 

There is just one thing that's wrong, and that is that Scanias V8 is the strongest regular truck with 770 hp and 3700nm here in Europe.

Great info. 16,100 cc makes it 982.5 cubic inches

@@Tranans oh... I only knew of the 730. The 770 must be quite new?

@CherryGS the 770 was released in late December 2020 according to the information I found. But was not on the roads until a couple of months later.

Then it seems i've not been up2date for quite some time ;-) Thanks for the correction.

The Mercedes small van is called Vito in Australia too, and it's big brother is the Sprinter.

@@simbob26 The Vito has been invented in the US as METRIS, for the marketing division at Mercedes-Benz said that Vito could be referred with Vito Corleone and they wanted to avoid that. But the Metris is not 100% a Vito. In Europe it is available with diffent wheelbases anf heights, in US only one. Also in Europe there are different (diesel) engines, in US only one 208PS gasoline engine. And the dashboard has been modified, including 2 big cupholders 🤣

City planners really need to be kicked in the butt. They dont think. In Oslo they did some road rebuild for the only access route to one of the main train cargo stations in Oslo, where of course big trucks are the road transport part. And the idiots planning (and building) the whole thing made a roundabout that non of the trucks can fit through. So yeah, all trucks just drive straight over it like its some silly designed speedbump 😂

​@@JoriDiculous^^ but you can also design a roundabout that it is possible to drive over it without getting any damage on the vehicle...

J'ai fait un travail différent de celui d'urbaniste, j'étais géomètre (I don't know the word in english), mais beaucoup de réglementations stupides viennent des maires, des États, et de l'U.E. La plupart des gens qui eux font vraiment le travail sont obligés de se conformer à des règlementations parfois complètement stupides et hors de tout bon sens. Les réglementations sont trop souvent pondues par des idéologues, pas par des professionnels qui connaissent les vrais problèmes.

@@videomailYT sorry i don't speak German. translation is not automatically done, i tried with Google translation, but it's impossible to copy paste entirely your comment, so, i'm sorry to say, i'm still not able to understand what your message's mean. I'll try with others applications. You're just trolling, aren't you ?

The C40 is electric only, the XC40 is also available as a hybrid

You can see that they placed steel plates on the sidewalk, where the truck had to turn.

Yes as a Brit I can most definitely testify honest this was tight in places but the UK back lanes laugh at this Seen UK tractors with single trailer with less space and tighter lanes if ya get me they definitely have patience in resivour's

This truck/trailer/driver does this every day, expensive stuff and it must work to pay its self out. After years of work this becomes routine and quite normal. Sometimes you scratch a car or fence, and for that you have insurance. Does not matter how strange or hard it looks, for people doing this is routine and normal. Faymonville, Goldhofer, Mammoet, Bertoja, Volvo, Scania, Liebherr, Tadano and others are main contributors to our daily bread.

@@sinisatrlin840 I completely agree But do feel extra sorry for the UK drivers & crews and others in the same situation but some of our infrastructure is almost impossible Almost like it's designed to make it impossible, making some real awesome spectacles But it's that noticeable when it happens it seems more normal so less people have interest there is hardly any that show on RU-vid because they are so far down the viwed list but some of the most amazing crews and equipment are needed at times The three of the worlds largest hydrogen generators worldwide that where delivered to oil refineries in the UK was the most recent example Of next level it's mind blowing to think that normal to anybody but for them crews doing this a few times a month wow just wow

@@madyottoyotto3055 I live and work in area that has infrastrukture simillar to UK, maybe worse. What was considered crazy and unthinkable 15 years ago is now new normal and routine. Hydro turbines, tower cranes, windmill blades, generator poles, vartsilla engine crank, bridge sections, grid transformers.... does not matter if no one saw it on you tube, all have power when plug something in outlet, all cross that bridge when go on vacation, maybe it is sopposed to be that way.

Here in NL you wouldn't see 15 axles a lot. We have really high axlewheights compared to other countries, especially the USA. Multiple pivid point we don't have either with heavy haul bc all the axles steer there is no need for it. I just te drive a 5axle V8 scania with a 7 axle trailer (2 in the front, 5 in the back) I had a permit for 270T with that. When loaded i did need 1 pilot car off the highways but that made it a lot easier bc the pilot is the one steering the back axles by remote. Most of these trailers have electric/hydrollic steering. On the highway and normal roads it steers automatic (under 40km/h above that it almost didn't steer) euro trucks and trailers are far ahead of the amarican ones for heavy haul (and even the normal trailers are)

@@larsmeijerink5471 The big difference here in the US is that the laws differ from state to state, with weight per axle limits and such, not to mention the required permits and routing, it would be much simpler to have uniform laws, but that isn't the case. Then there's the difference in equipment, I drive a 4 axle Western Star 49x (not much usage here for twin-steer tractors unless they're mostly off highway use, mine has a self-steering pusher axle that I can lift if not needed. My tractor has a 22,000lb capacity front axle, 22,000lb pusher and 54,000lb full locking rear axles, power is from a Special Service X15 Cummins Performance Series running to an Eaton-Fuller 18 speed transmission and a 4 speed auxiliary for off-road use. Those steerable trailers are here too, but not that many, I've only used one a few times, so the European equipment is a bit ahead of ours, the tractors, maybe not, because this Western Star is a beast. We did have some Scania V8's about 18-30 years ago, and they were great trucks, but for whatever reason Scania doesn't import them here any more. Most of our tractors here now are Automatics, but the Eaton-Fuller 18 speed is still probably the best transmission for on-off highway use, which is what I mostly do.

@@thomaskirk9341 scania stopped that bc of the USA laws. They cant get them imported anymore. Axle wheights can differ in each country here but max axle wheights are mostly the same. That truck can for sure be a beast, im not doubtful about that but the tech is old and not used anymore in europe. If you look at braking a USA truck has lower airpresure then us (we have 188psi) and its really hard to jackknife if even possible. Stopping distance is the same empty and fully loaded and at 8m/sec its pretty much faster then the US ones. Braking on a wet road in a turn is no problem here. Also we require to have more lights (amber blinkers on the trailer, back up lights, fog lights, etc) thats why we have a 13pin connection for just the lights and accessories (like batteries, work lights strobes, etc) we also require to have EBS on trucks and trailer witch makes the brakes strong enough to almost be as fast as a normal car. We also use disc brakes on everything so hot brakes aren't really a thing. Overall europe has a lot more hight difference then the USA, the usa is pretty flat compared to europe. Also the fact our roads are a lot smaller makes the need for trucks are as safe as they are. If you would import a USA truck in to europe you would have to change the brakes on them to get the specs needed. 90% are automated manuals here. Its mostly done for fuel efficiency (diesel at 11usd/gallon, gas at 15usd/g)

@@larsmeijerink5471 That's too bad, because I really liked the Scania. I get a new tractor about every 18 months, and my current one is a 2023 model, it has all full disc brakes, AEB, blind spot cams I have more LED's and LED strobes than you could count (not really, but if you miss this truck at night, you probably shouldn't be driving). I'd say for most normal tractors probably at least 70% are automatics, but there are license restrictions, if a driver tests on an automatic tractor, he gets a restriction for only automatics. So, if a guy breaks down and the rental company brings him a replacement tractor with a manual, he can't legally drive it. The biggest difference is that the European tractors are almost all cabovers, while in the US you rarely see a cabover, all the tractors are with hoods. The other big difference is that most European trucks are speed governed, in the US some companies govern their trucks, but most do not, and mine will run a higher speed than I'd care to run, on most major highways I usually set the cruise at between 72-75mph (116-120kph), but it will run much faster. Better to be safe, blowing a 445 steer tire at a high speed could get very messy.

@@thomaskirk9341 all those strobes are not allowed here. You can have strobes and need them for heavy haul stuff, but to many will blind ppl and therefore is not allowed. The the notification on the licence its the same here but also for cars. Is you do you lessons and test in a automatic you only can drive a automatic car and truck. Most ppl do get a manual licence tho bc automatic cars aren't a big thing here(there are getting more and more now) for the speeds, yes they are limited but thats it has to by law. Most countries has 80km/h max. And its true most are cabavers but that also has to do with law. A hood truck is way to long for our roads amd you wouldn't get far in them we have max lenth for the Intire truck and not just for the trailer as you probably know our roads are a lot smaller here and turns aren't made for trucks. 90% of all amarican truck drivers wouldn't get far in europe. We call them steering wheel holders😅🤣 dont take it personally, but thats the overall few we have

And how much is the weight of the driver ? 😅

@@kankerbende around 90 kg i think🤣🤣🤣

They look like those yellow/red toy cars for kids 🤣🤣

Well, you probably never drove one. I drove a Ford Ka Special Edition 1.2L and damn that was a hell of fun 😊.

Ford Ka feels super fast because it weighs like nothing. I drove one for work.

I worked for Nooteboom and Floor. And I’m proud that they are probably the best trailer builders in the world. And I’m also proud that I’m a owner of 2 FTF trucks with a 6V92 Detroit and a 8V92 Detroit!

@willemvanwees8466 I think I know your dad...Does he have a white Triumph TR4?

@@eelco1982 mijn vader heeft inderdaad een witte TR4, alleen is deze nu blauw tegenwoordig.

You can steer the trailer axles via remote from the cab without the truck moving

It's a high reach demolition machine, the CAT 390F of ADEX demolition in the netherlands, just has it's tracks, counterweight and boom removed

In most situations the machinery is loaded from the front (the gooseneck is un coupled from the low bed section)

Trucks this large are mostly not allowed to drive without “safety car” to block off other traffic

And the Self Propelled Platforms has a Dutch registration on it.Must be the Mammoet transport company. These are the big boys in Spec Transport Worldwide,by land or Sea. They were also involved with the lifting of the KURSK submarine.

Yes we had the Ka in Australia too. It was mildly popular for a time and then just seemed to fizzle out. I often wondered whether they would similar to a mini in their dynamics (LOVED the Minis!) 😊
