Driving the SCANIA 770S, Most POWERFUL Semi Truck in the WORLD! 

Interesting and well stated.

Well put!

i was gonna say this but i didnt want to sound like a condescending European. However american trucks, european trucks, they all keep us fed. Huge respect for our big boys from America. Hope we will share roads again

What about the roads? That it's shorter distances between locations? Other kind of traffic? Smaller roads?

what? what is it that you try to state? :)@

Hoppla. Har Scania någonsin haft någonting att göra med axial- eller OP-motorer? Elis och tidigare pumptekniker, jobbat med vakuumsystem och nu ser det ut som vi ska hoppa tillbaka på att köra service på Arlanda på en installation jag hjälpte bygga för några år sen. Men daggörat har jag mest bara för att ha råd med egna tankeverksamheten. Har lyssnat litet på en del av vad folk håller på och klämmer på ute i Uppsala med HCCI, och efter att ha öppnat upp en del Rexroth själv och sen sökt vidare på gamla designer bl.a. Commer TS3, så fick jag litet idéer om vad man skulle vilja testa. Tänker att man skulle kunna göra ganska likt vad Achates har jobbat på, bara att man istället för att slösa på synkdrev till ena vevet skulle man istället lägga saker i en revolveruppställning runt central axel och bara köra med en annan överförning ("inte riktigt viskplatta," så att säga; stag/stjärna och presslager) med några graders offset. Färre delar, linjärare kolvmotion, skippa topp och kunna borra och forma kolvtoppar till att göra praktiskt taget perfekt hemisfäriska kammare. Kunde vara värt något?

Hi, I'm the instructor who is in the video and it was a pleasure to be there to show Scania's products. Thanks also for the nice post from my former co-worker.

Once upon a time I also worked at Scania. Sibbhult.😀 Good times. @@larsw4428

Damn, what building, if you don't mind sharing? I know a few people down at 075, awesome work there, probably switching over soon.

Do you design the seats? The drivers seat(ing position) in my right hand drive R series is really uncomfortable and I get chronic lower back pain from it.

I almost became a typical RU-vid commenter and tell you something that wasn't true but I actually did my research first and boy did I not know that Scandia was in the US in the 80s. Bring them back. 😀

yeah, and Bruce probably be most hater person in US take jobs and work from American workers

Something is going on, that's for sure. But not sure if America is ready for this kind of upgrade.

if Scania starts selling to the US market the incumbent manufacturers are going to have to seriously up their game or be eaten alive.. you'd soon see some texas cattle hauler in a 770s doing 85mph hauling cattle..

American trucking lobby will never have those trucks over there, it would crush their industry.

The Swedes are a great bunch of lads ...

From economic perspective getting several hundred thousand views for the price of driving several trucks on the test track and hourly wage of the two Scania employees still makes for an ultra cheap commercial. Even if one truck gets sold because of this video, they will make profit.

American RU-vidrs, surprisingly have non-American viewers!

@@E_Dtl Yes I understand that. And after thinking about it, even though you can’t buy a new SCANIA in the us, you may be able to in Canada.

@@dandunlap8638 It doesn't hurt to have goodwill among Americans as well, even if they aren't currently selling trucks in the USA. But let's say an American company operating in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, or Australia/New Zealand needs a truck or two for its facilities. Might as well go for Scania!

I got to drive around it a few weeks ago as well (I work as a consultant) and it was really fun.

That's awesome to experience your own products. :)

I wish more people would experience truck driving. I left it as its just too damgerous now days in australia. People dont have any idea of the lack of vision, stopping and maneuverability trucks have or dont have.

and we all know how difficult it is to impress a swede. so all in all this is impressive

Having driven and owned Scanias for 50 years my first being a 140 with the V8 until my last an S650 V8 , absolutely no comparison whatsoever to any other trucks …Mountain climbing is always a nightmare up and down for drivers but with a Scania V8 no mountain is a problem up or down because the retarder will always hold it going downhill leaving the service brakes cool…Having done those 50 years my nightmare would be going back to manual gearboxes , automatics make the job easy and stress free …Trucking today is difficult so why not use every modern advantage to reduce the difficulty…

all of the top tier euro trucks are at this level. i'm driving a new actros this month with all the goodies, and its probably the smoothest truck i've ever experienced

@@ivarmarkusson382 Just wait a year or 2 and it will not be smooth anymore. First year they are good, after that they go downhill fast. They are cheap for a reason.

@@jone8626 yeah too much electrical problems, and i hate the cameras instead of regular mirrors, we have 2 actros trucks on my job with mirrors but ones that driven them hate them, the truck wont even start if you have the zepro tail lift on

​@@jone8626the Mercs yes. Scanias..no. not in my experience.

I am sure there are older cities in US that are not sprawling, where you would maybe want a truck with tight turns and shorter total length. I hear that Boston is the most "European-like" US city in terms of density and road layout. Maybe it would not be a bad idea for a company operating in that area to use European trucks?

Its actually for your ipad. I mean, you can use your phone there aswell. But most people use it for ipad, bigger screen for google maps or whatever.

It's because driving a truck in Europe is stressfull as hell so the trucks are engineered to not make the drivers go insane - most US trucks wlll enjoy nice big empty roads for most of their life, while every time I see a large truck here in Rome I cringe inside, it's hell! Not saying this isn't amazing btw. Just that it's necessary to make these trucks nice to drive in such conditions

Also the phone works! Perfect sound out of the microphone stalk attached to the seat.

Pretty standard and cheap to do. for all the technology EU trucks have and amarican ones lack, its kinda funny that you put out a phoneholder😂

not that much of a hell but the weight limits are a menace in the towns@@Galf506

Paccar which is the parent company of Peterbilt and Kenworth offers integrated power trains with a paccar engine and transmission and paccar is the parent company of Daf as well. Volvo owns Mack trucks and offers Volvo engines and transmissions in those. Freightliner also owns western star and they offer their own integrated power trains. Traton is the parent company of Scania and also happens to own Navistar International.

@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj Freightliner is owned by Daimler Benz, though.

@@tntfreddan3138 Pretty much every truck manufacturer has merged to include a major European manufacturer.

Where do people think Volvo or Scanias drive line comes from

​​@@mechniackdo you really think from U.S. companies? Volvo make the transmission by themselve... Scania also i think...

We have a great selection of trucks here in NZ. Euro cabovers, American conventional and cabovers and Japanese cabovers. Also good axle combinations too

Scania are amazing trucks here in New Zealand, I see them on the road everyday, they look soo good!

New Zealand is a village. It’s so small. Women are big and strong though.

@@KA-om9oz ahhh not sure where you got the idea that woman in New Zealand are big? Please elaborate?

@@KA-om9ozThen Uk ,Japan Romania are villages too? Same size.

Yeah thats what I like about this guy. He does not pretend to know what he does not know. Even the 'steering trailer wheels' (they were not steerable) he was talking about but admitted he was not sure, he was not familiar. Thats honesty and being humble.

Still we Swede´s see Volvo trucks as the 2nd best and our Scania´s the absolute best trucks 😄

@@PulkaSkurken But why? Wasn't Volvo and Scania both Swedish? As I understand now both are owned by foreign companies so why is Scania more Swedish than Volvo?

@@Renee_R343 I do not think he said Scania is more Swedish, I think he meant most swedish truckers prefer Scania, so they are viewed as the better of the two

@@Renee_R343 Volvo Trucks is owned by Volvo AB, a 100% Swedish company. Volvo Cars is a separate company that belongs to Geely.

In South Africa its split between Volvo and Scania. Benz and MAN make up the rest

Its made in Norway. Doosan bought Norwegian company Moxy

@AndreBakke1 did not know that. I was aware the trucks were built in Norway, and the Scania engine is produced in Sweden. I think it's kind of interesting. How a South Korean company is doing this. Machine built in Norway with a Swedish engine and transmission. So far. I am very impressed with the machine itself. Minus one or two things, very small replaced under warranty

I can already see it happen.

I guess there is a lot of European and other global english speaking followers, so don't think Bruce will become a US Scania salesman too soon. He is already a Scania salesman though! 😅

I’m not a “truck guy” in the slightest but I’m hooked watching Bruce be fascinated by Scania trucks.

​@@grantc8353same 😂

My thought is: What, not already? 😉 Of course this is good promotion. And I don't mind at all. With the USA pushing hard into EU economy (especially Germany is worrisome), it is very important to have the USA understand what great stuff we are making, and these trucks will be so appealing that it's probably wise to invest in popcorn stocks.

He should be happy he was nor here a week earlier when it was -20C

@@matsv201 What is -20C in Fahrenheit, I guess the US viewers like to know?

@@crazypict like +5 something

-20 c is -4 F. It is so cold you get frost forming on your nose hairs when breathing in. It was insanely cold for this early in the winter. It is typically between +5 and -5 in december, with temperatures dropping below -10 on some days in January. Stockholm is relatively warm for being on such a high latitude. Scania is of course in the city of Södertälje, just south of Stockholm.

@@matsv201 At the start of the year it's apparently going to be -30C. Personally coldest I have experienced has been -42C but I don't live in the north where it gets even colder from time to time.

Scania have the test track and trucks on the track as a permanent feature for larger costumers to come and try there newest trucks. Specially so with the steap hil abd tight corners

Its not a proper truck. A proper truck is a long nose peterbilt with an 18 speed manual gearbox and straight pipes

​@realkilju just abouta say this. Or a mack super dog with mack e9 in her

​@@realkiljuyou need that 18 speed because your trucks over there doesn't have much torque 😂. Less gear is better for efficiency.

Well,in european language we have Scania XT Longline with manual and open pipes. Search on google for this truck. We have also manual transmission with 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18 gears depend of manufacture or size of truck. In school we learn on manual geabox but we don't like to use them. At a traffic light 2 trucks with same weight and same power,the auto will leave you far behind. Also the mentality of manufactures is to make trucks eco friendly to have more clean air in city's and auto transmission help alot for this.

I do find it weird why our EU style of trucks isn't more popular in the states. I mean, a Volvo FH-16 750 would do perfect in the states for someone who does HEAVY loads or even a smaller one FM or FL as examples for more city/town deliveries. Maybe Bruce will start a trent of making the cap over more popular

@@zaarkeru3391 Over here in the states, Volvo and Mack have some collaborations they've worked on. Big trucks built here now are a joke. Really is sad

@@zaarkeru3391 They're straight up illegal.

That money went to lobbysts in order to introduce trade barriers preventine EU companies from selling trucks in the US.

It was covered in the video if I remember correctly.

Yes.I can tell you I drive a Scania 730/770 V8 the long one 25.25 meters, sometimes with 75 tonnes on long valleys with 7% will go only 2 km/h (1 or 2 mph) over cruise control. Same when is rain.

There is a video, i cant find it now, but its a cran of a truck that lift a 7 meter i-beam into a window on the 7th floor throw the entire flat and out side the window on the other side to install the i-beam on the balcony.

Those crans are very popular in the EU every 4th truck big or small have it. Some know crane producers in the EU are: Hiab, Fassi, Palfinger, etc

@@altergreenhorn Very common in NZ too.

they are pretty much made for construction in mind. the crane and lift 30 meters up and the limit for a building to be classified as a apartment building rather than a skyscraper is 30 meters. (it is a lot cheaper and easier to only build a apartment building) so these trucks does double duty. with good planning you can lift in all the material needed on each floor as you are building up meaning the construction worker doesn't need to haul stuff up and down it is all just there making for quicker building and a less worn down worker.

They are all over the EU, different sizes.

They're extremely popular in New Zealand, we colloquially call them all Hiabs

@@thfmlymn4498 yeah I think HIAB is a brand but that's what they are called in the UK as well. I guess America has so much space that they never had to come up with solutions like this for unloading building materials in a small space.

@@thfmlymn4498 same in the EU because company Hiab was the first to intruduce this type of crane, other companiesa in the EU are for example Fassi, Palfinger...

The little table is actually made of magnesium and a Scania patent. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E3M5BUnNgQc.html

Not to mention Edison’s ”thing”

And the Scania electric truck is roadlegal in Europe

Tesla lacks the lineage, history and reputation.

@@_BangDroid_ And sane bosses.

Drive one and you will be surprised how much better it drives quality handling and maneuverability not to say anything about the power to climb hills like you drive a long nose on a flat road

for rest during long trips in my opinion american trucks better, since it have huge cub, but anyway for example in Russia truckers pretty ok living in their eurotruck cabins

​@@tsugumorihoney2288 the space is used so smart in eurotrucks though.

@rogerk6180 yes i know, but still we all can admit that US trucks usually have much bigger sleepers, and if use EU truck tech, you probably can make pretty awesome apartments

Then, the full scania driveline should be used for the best effect.

Or put a inline 6 in a scania 😂

@@spiritwolf7Scania has already inline 6 engines (13 liters)

Any Electric vehicle is only good for Local Work, as you say none of the pollution and no sound, using them for Distance Work is just giving yourself grief.

You can getvthe new 6 cylinder engine and gearbox in the international RT I think they call it the Navistar S13

@@acd1202 haven’t heard anything about that yet, thanks for the info 👍

Here in the north (Finland, Norway and Sweden) it's called "full trailer combination" and it's the most common vehicle combination here. This seems to be very rare in the US.

Our road limit is 80,000

In Finland limit is 76000 kg/~167000 lbs

Some trucks haul more than 80,000 but they are considered "Heavy haulers".

@@eetu2575 That's not the "normal" length right? Our 25 meter combinations can weigh 60 ton max.

the finnish trucks are 32 meter@@DutchieMcDutchface

The frost edition is already bleu 😂

Sadly it would be illegal.

Sisu is actually a good truck. I don't like european semi trucks, but sisu and tatra are on another level.

@@loutenant9480 i have never driven other than military Sisu trucks which are from 70's to early 00's. Modern Sisu trucks are using the cabin and engine from Mercedes Actros. Fuller manual as an option.

Most truckers in the US do cross country routes which that euro cab would be too small for.

@@albinoguidedog Luckily you can build larger cabs on Scanias aswell. So its not really an issue.

I foresee tariff barriers if they aren't already in place. And US trucking wages and terms are even more socially dumped than EU has managed to dump it by opening up for trucking companies from the lower cost countries so therefore I have even less faith. If Peterbilts are rudimentary and shoddily built they surely are cheaper than Scanias even before tariffs, so how is that competition going to work out?

@@xRobin2475 true but don't know how many would make the switch. I think a good portion of the short journey truckers and local companies would.

​@@albinoguidedog Drivers sleep in their trucks here as well, you know.

I only drive scania in ets2. Currently own 2 garages. 7 trucks,all scania. Mine is a bit more special than the rest but uh....isnt that how we all do?

Most US truckers do not seem to care about stuff supposedly 'lightyears ahead'. Many drive their trucks 3-5 million km's, overhaul the engines every 1 million km or so

@@Rimrock300 Everyone cares if you save 6000$ in fuel per truck anually. How much is that on fleet of 50 trucks? And your truck is dead silent, no vibrations, you get out of it after 8 hours fresh and in good shape. Those old crappy trucks are for mazohists that want to waist money, fuel and time. And they think that they know everything, but do not want to try anything new.

Those 6000 usd quickly disapears if needing to change x broken electronic modules a year. Many truckers prefare some older trucks, 'analog trucks', that uses more fuel, but are simpler put togehter, less stuff that can break. The big fleet owners already use modern streamlined trucks, with the latest engine tech. Yes, many of them might are more basic than a Scania, but the big sleeper is more important than electroinc stuff and just flip a switch to change gear. Yes, a Euro truck could be fine for local transport in the US, around town or around state, away 3-4 days at the tme, not 3-4 weeks as many are. Stop with this stupid ideas Euro trucks are 'light years ahead'. The Us would been full of euro trucks a long time ago if that was the case. The big truck owners do not care about chromed piperacks, but profit. The US is the largst economy of the world, if very much depends on efficient transport of goods on the road.@@sinisatrlin840

@@Rimrock300 US has chicken tax for import of trucks, EU has not. 25% tax is hudge, on alredy expensive truck. Situation you describe was may youth in 80s/90s. Number of trucks is increasing, number of mehanics that know something is decreasing. We had guys (still has some) that drive old trucks, some repair most of stuff by them self. But those guys are now old, their trucks are old. Refurbished engines are constantly in price rise. In 10 years there would be no engine cores to refurbish. Maybe 15 years, but you get the point. Alredy people buy burned harvesters and combines to get some half worn Cummins engines to get usable cores to refurbish. I got my Perkins that way, now works in excavator, oddball small series engine, rest of combine went to scrap. Modules do not die that often, there are usually 2 or 3 in basic modern truck. Some specialist machines has 5 or more but that is rare. I am not saying anything about "light years", i am just saying that i have been there and seen truck with million miles dissasembled to the last screw, factory refurbished engine and gearbox installed. Chassis sandblasted, all new paint, new rubber seals around doors, new seat from Grammer... Now we just load them on ships, 500 pcs at the time, and we get good money from Midlle East and African buyers. Good money for old crap.

You're right the same engine Platform for Scania,International and in few years for MAN too.

That is false, it is not the same, it is the one from the 2016 version and of worse quality. Just look at the factory torques.

That is because Navistar is owned by TRATON Group whose brands include Scania, MAN, Navistar, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus is owned by VWAG. Scania came into the Group when MAN bought Scania and MAN.

@@stark3855 Different power/torque numbers don't mean worse quality. They were just tuned differently for the NA market.

@@sic22l I confirm, it is not the same engine, I remember that a Scania manager in Spain said it a month or so ago. The platform is that of the year 2016

@@antoniolobato6712 It's weird because International boasts about dual stage aftertreatment which sounds exactly like Scania Super.
