Thanks again for taking the time to show these beauties. Especially the custom Ford just at the end. I can't see why we don't have the same combinations here in Ireland 🇮🇪 . The roads look pretty much the same as New Zealand 🇳🇿 . I think the government don't trust us . Cheers
Ireland is governed by European standards that stipulate that cab-over single drive-axel, is the norm on all prime-movers hauling semi-trailers. The exceptions are usually prime movers, with the addition of a 'singles' (non-duel) lazy axel, which can be raised. Others beyond this, are usually specialist heavy haulers. Many European wheel arrangements (like some in the US), are downright weird compared to what we employ 'Down-under.'
Ekatahuna! Who'd-a-thunk. Great viewing there. Noticed the Sino Truck/Sitrac contribution, got me thinking - are these real fleet placements or try-it-and-see? Curious as to where that impressive feetof tippers with trailers disappeared to from the Kapiti job.
1:28: One moment. Since when are daytime running lights yellow? And not because of the contoured design of the lights, but because of the color of the lightbulb. 1:49: For a moment I thought it was an American concrete mixer truck. And more in New Zealand. But I realized that nothing was what it seemed, even though it seemed so from afar. 3:04: With this axle configuration and because of the colors it looks like the typical spray truck used in agriculture. 3:13: From my point of view, this Isuzu refrigerator would look more attractive without the front-rear axle. And apart from that, the lettering of X company of frozen products could also be useful. 3:27: Possible Chinese brand truck? And other than that, the setup reminds me of the one used in South Africa. I send a video link to get the idea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dCqNb19PeE0.html 5:53: But what is this? Why does he have mud tires? Is a MAN used to work in the mud? 7:36: It seems incredible. But this configuration of axles is a bit rare to see in New Zealand, since the normal one is 4 axles (two in front and two in the rear). 9:28: The orange light above the cabin of the Hino is to know that it is a vehicle with a load that is protruding? 10:22: Seen from this angle, this Scania looks sportier. 11:24: trailer left the factory? 12:20: Wow! I thought that the US is the only country in the world where there are Hot Rods. But I see that even on the other side of the world there are also Hot Rods. Other than that it was a great way to end the video overall.
5:53 It is a fertiliser spreading setup that spreads fert on farms. A friend of mine has a mercedes, which is very similar to the MAN. They travel up some pretty steep slopes, which is why they need the extra grip.
You wait when Greta thunberg comes over to your lovely country and starts on about all the emissions those trucks are (aren’t) Spewing out the days of those beautiful trucks will be numbered your politicians will be clambering over one another to appease her and get the electric trucks on the road just like they are over here in the 🇬🇧 😢😢😢
Greta Thunberg and her WEF (World Economic Forum) 'Great Reset' mates, are history. Hybrid diesel/electric generator powered electric hub-motors (like diesel-electric trains), are definitely on the cards. With higher power output and lower diesel consumption, the saving in diesel fuel will be enormous.
