My Wife’s FIRST Time Driving a Semi Truck!(SCANIA) 

It's the law here, you must eat semla 😄

Probably going to start a war, but with jam instead of almond

Prefer vanilla cream semla 😋@@Senortodoelmundo

@@SenortodoelmundoNo! Bad!

It's well known that swedes have an obsession with american opinion

Visit Truckstar Bruce

Denk ik ook truckstar is een goed idee😊👍

Broshuis will supply the US army with lowloaders for the OshKosh HEMMT tanktransporters.

New Zealanders also have steer axle trailers & have been way ahead of our neighbors across the ditch & were using B doubles well before Ozz land true fact. Those log trucks again are far superior units than what you see in the US still using semi tractor .A rigid truck/strait truck is far more efficient in terms of traction & ability to carry a greater payload.

On our special transport trailers, we have vans behind the trailer. The driver of the van has a ramote with which he can steer the trailer to get around corners. We've had this for over a decade, as well ;)

@@tntfreddan3138thanks to goldhofer from 2020 they now are selling steering axle trailers but still they don't know anything

Well he did say he was going to get parts for the black truck in his previous video.

That trailer that steers around corners. How does that thing work for backing up? Your wife did a awesome job of driving

Scania euro trucks in US would be a huge project with all the homologations.. Maybe something to do with Navistar and its use of Scania engines in Internationals :P

@@richardeckert6130It’s not that hard not every axel turns only like 3-4 axles turn, any turn that u make with the steering the back axles follow so backing up is way more easier that with American trailers

I was thinking the same, Scania seem way to happy to help, there’s more in it for them than just the sale of one truck. They’ve got something in mind. Question is what.

En zo is het! Ha best een beetje trots op die Nederlandse Heavy Low Loaders,...toch.

@@vanDeudekom Dat zeker!

Dat probeer ik al een paar videos duidelijk te maken. Nu heeft hii er eentje in het echt gezien. Volgende stap is een nederlandse trailer in florida :-)

Thanks, i was just wondering what benefit there would be for planetary gear hubs. Now i know. It is a bit the same with electricity, deliver power at higher voltage and use a transformer closer to the destination to convert the "torque". That allows to use MUCH thinner cables for the long distances.

​@@squidcaps4308 Yes, that's a good comparison. Even with the losses when transforming. Gear hubs axles also almost always have brake drums. At least I don't know of any with brake discs. They have the same braking power but not as smoothly and evenly, but they last 3-4 times as long (300,000 - 500,000 km). If some people then have a transfer case (for 4x4 or 6x6 drive; mine also has two gears; road and difficult terrain), the drive shaft from the manual gearbox to the transfer case (is this the engl. term?) is almost tiny. The gearbox is just as big but with a correspondingly higher gear ratio. Same with retarder. Former the retarders used to be huge and mounted at the back of the gearbox. Today they are so small and integrated into the gearbox. But with high rpm. You can also get them with different translations. For long journeys with maximum torque at 90-60 kmh and for short journeys with maximum torque at 60-40 kmh. It only has 50% braking power at high speeds, but you can brake the truck almost to 10 kmh in the city or off-road. For 90-60 you have to use Jakebrake additionally. They have them too, required by law. But it switches on automatically and not as loud as in US. You just have to downshift manually if necessary. We (at least the good drivers) use the foot brake very sparingly.

A kid does it better

Nice trailer and Kampen is a nice place to visit!

yup. highest marine v8 output was listed as 882kw tho ~1200hp

~3100ft/lbs at 1700rpm

Everything is nice as long as hightech stuff works. Until it does not. some truckers prefer more old style 'analog' trucks. Not everyone is overly excited about all the computer stuff

well, like most European transportation that was and is being built, first of all, it is the comfort, the quality, and milage, then come performance, even with the cheap ones, as on the other side the American-built machines are concerned on power, and some useless specs, I haven`t met any European driver that knows what transmission manufacturer his car has... and also having huge competition (compared to the almost non-existent one in the USA) on the market has its benefits... we have more Luxury car Brands than the USA has car manufacturers...
