SCANIA V8 Fanboy Drives A Fully Electric VOLVO |  

Love how he said 300km range to make it sound like a lot… to put it in to simple terms you couldn’t do 4 hour’s drive in it before it needed recharging. The concept of electric vehicles is fine but the technology and infrastructure in this country isn’t up to scratch to go full electric in another few years. Good vid tim

I think all Volvos look so nice, just such a clean pure design.

Great video Tim. It's strange seeing trucks going electric too, but this one is still a nice truck

Hi Tim I was really really impressed by the electric volvo unit with 32 tonnes fully loaded. I have driven artic trucks for 35years . How advanced trucks have become in last 20 years is quite breathtaking to be honest. That volvo sure had your voice Tim. You looked very surprised at how it could pull .the only sad thing for owner operator would be cost to buy or even lease but jit is the future so bring it on. Now that long nose scania is a serious bit of kit loved the paint job a real work of art plus that huge beast of a v8 under the hood , A lot of money has been well spent on it a real eye opener an head Turner a great credit to its owner. Loved the video Tim

Love the juxtaposition of driving the electric truck then straight into the T730 🤣

This has to be my top 5 trucker tim trucker tim videos EVER! It's so fun seeing tim Try out different things! Great video tim.

These electric lorries are going to be phenomenal for inner city drops... on the motorway they might be harder to run because of mileage limitations. All hail the legendary V8's

Hi Tim it’s Oscar, you passed my dad in his BJ waters lorry. He was just in front of the Mike Pontsenby lorry you commented on.

I think they're great for local jobs. In Romania I've started seeing electric delivery vans. It's cool becase they can come on quiet streets (like mine) without waking up people. It just calls/messages you before arriving, to be outside and take the package. no noise, better for nightshift

If you didn't put the 730 T-cab at the end, I would actually have thought that Volvo kidnaped you... Glad that they didn't - because the V8's are awesome!

Tim you might find you are constantly late in that electric truck , but your never late in a V8

Great video as always Tim. It's strange seeing normal everyday trucks going electric, but that electric Volvo did look nice

Chuck it to him next time, you’re at Volvo Warwick, give me a shout and I will come round and live round the corner from there😅😮

Can’t wait to see the R series to be finished

Awesome Tim, I hope you found time to visit Harrison’s transport today to see the fleet after playing with tractors and ladders in Liverpool with olly

These in the near future will be a requirement within London, so can see the big firms setting up yards around the M25 for swaps between diesel and electric tractor units.

The electric volvo was quite impressive, and a decent range to which wasn't to bad, brilliant vlog Tim stay safe fella 👍

That 730 t cab........... wow! 😍

T cab now that’s a proper truck

Loved this tim your one of the best people out there! KEEP UPLOADING!!!!!!!

The Volvo place in Warwick is not far away from me, it’s nice to see inside the buildings. Another excellent video & a nice insight as to what electric trucks can do. 👍

Drove an electric car for the first time last year. Sold straight away. The silence is so relaxing

The kms I’ve done today id have to charge it up twice,

That T Cab is a right sort 😍

This is brilliant! The more i watch Trucker Tim videos the more i want to drive a truck, currently working in haulage but would rather drive :)

The Electric Volvo was very impressive, great looking truck as well. The Scania was epic, stunning interior.

There's a recent Fully Charged vid about a company that has been converting existing trucks to electric and it uses a swappable battery system that can be done in just a few mins. I think while the technology is changing so quickly, that their method makes so much more sense than the enclosed system used in other vehicles like the Volvo! It is a nice truck though, I bet the price requires you to be sitting in a chair to hear it though lol

These video get better every time I swear but they are always good. Well done Tim ❤😊

300 Km range that is terrible that less than what most 8 wheelers do a day

Completely stopping what your doing when you hear you're getting your lunch, 😂 my type of guy. Love the videos Tim!!!!

i don't even have to watch the video to know i still like the Scania V8 more

The Volvo was nice but nothing beats a T Cab V8 brilliant video keep up the good content👋🏻👋🏻👍🏻

Wow that will be perfect in city transport.

that 730 at end what is i call a truck.needs straight exhaust though to go with the sexy look.awsome truck ide use it as me daily

Awesome Tim That Electric Truck was the future right there.👍👍

Great video as always Tim the truck looks stunning can’t wait to see ur trucks finished

Problem is with these electric vehicles is they like to catch on fire and it’s a complete nightmare to extinguish. Im sure I heard Germany has banned electric buses after a number of fires.

That T cab is pure stellar Mate. As a Person who worked for a Truck manufracturer and worked on Prototype and Experimental Vehicles, Not flaming, I can tell ye Electric Trucks (Electric vehicles in general are ineficent as fook the larger they get) are the WORST vehicles ever, If somthing breaks it breaks ye, because it's so expensive, ye get bankrupt, ye have tae go tae the Dealer, because no one ever is willing tae put a hand on it and those who dae chanrge a fortune, If ye have a breakdown ye Fooked also, cause: if its on fire ,theFiredepartment closes the road and watch it burning down, if ye stop in a tunnel ye ned a special wrecker tae pull it because, it could spark and short circut ,what could be lethal to the REC person, In general all Battery Electric Vehicles are the death of our Planet and should nae be hyped or favored (fact Euro6 is so clean,if ye light a match, it generates more emissions than the Diesel and they purify air in tunnels) apart from the fact that they will kill a lot of jobs and whole industry branches, what will cause a massive unimployment wave and class divission of poor and rich.

Tim I love this truck that you are in right now

The Volvo has me more impressed than anything electric yet! Still a little way to go yet. That T cab though is beautifully stunning, what a machine!

Jeez that Scania T Cab is ☝️ the best trucks I’ve seen superb👌

I had the pleasure of seeing a beautiful black Scania T cab V8 pulling a huge excavator and my first thaught was tim would love this. Love your videos keep it up pal

The electric truck looks great with the lower cab height which would reduce some forward blindspots, but that T cab was on another level

Great video Tim driven electric truck how cool was that keep ou the good work

Having almost 900 hours in ets2 as Tim was starting my mind reproduced a sound of an actual engine, and then i remembered that this volvo is electric XD

Great vlog Tim, it’s amazing technology from Volvo however nothing can match the awesome sound of a Scania V8 purring away lol

Awesome vid tim i cant get over how quiet the electric fm was i even put headphones on full to listen out for road noise and that t cab is a dream i can see you have a self portrait on the front of yours and airbrushing of the kuga and other motor stars down the sides 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the great content i cant wait for update on the r series and the 4 series they will look immense together mate you may have to do that for a reveal 👍🤠🤠

20:00 Yeah, a Swingo Sweeper 🥹😄🥰 of course the Torpedo is beautiful too 😉

Great video Tim absolutely beautiful electric truck Volvo have made there and that t-cab such a beauty she is

Keep up the good work Tim and lovely electric truck

Just receive my biggest order thank you so much v8 tang stickers bottle opener and a Signed picture good work tim

Let’s be honest, a fully electric truck with only a 300 kilometre range just isn’t up to scratch yet

the future of all transport great vid tim

A beautiful scania ST made in the Netherlands by Vlastuin

Love this timbo can wait to see the truck when its done u make me laugh honestly

Was that Shaun at 14:36😂 Looked like the wrecker to me

looks like you had a mint day Tim playing in them trucks. 👍 👌 😀

i seen quite a feew of electric volvos last year at truckfest scotland

Im not really 8nto the electrics but the green volvo in the hq wasvery nice but my favourite trucks are the r780,iveco stralis and the iveco turbostar v8

Hey Tim another awesome upload can't wait for the next upload Happy trucking

0:15 When a new Trucker Tim video notification pops up on the blower. 😅

Great vid Tim keep up the amazing work and keep uploading because it is so funny and amazing 😂😂🎉🎉

Still a long way off long haul you ain’t getting a good 800k day out of an electric truck just yet! Not being a negative Nancy though I’m still impressed that truck was very clever!

Love Tim upload days 😁

love the content Tim keep it up

At this moment in time, i think that the trailers should be the ones having batteries, a lot of them, capable of traversing 1000 miles in one go, on top of what the tractor truck is capable. The trailers are rented only and to be detached at a destination, and then charged up there. Ofc the shipping company will pay for the energy fill, just like they do for regular fuel in the present day trucks. The main advantage is that any warehouse out there has huge roofs that are gathering dust. Those could be filled to the brim with solar panels and thus generate FREE energy. The trailers will lose some payload capacity for the delivery, but this is the best measure to allow the semitrailer trucks to work efficiently, and as new battery techs get developed and enter consumer grade usage, simply swap out the present day gen with the new ones. Thus reducing the weight penalty.

Nice video! And that T-cab is awesome!

Watch on 11:49 to 11:51 what a driver the goes through a red light you legend tim 😂😂

Yes Tim 😂…I live 30 seconds away from Volvo warwick HQ let me know next time so I can get a selfie with you 👍👍 absolute legend mate love it 😊

That was a great video ! The electric volvo is great ..... but c'mon that 730T oooofff !!! Keep up the good work Tim you are a natural at making enjoyable funny content, see you at Peterborough pal

Amazing Volvo wud love to test drive one of those and can’t wait to see it at Peterborough

Isn't it amazing how they can put the exhaust pipe miles away!! Ya know....power plants, excavators to mine the metals for the batteries........

Hi I love your vids and I got your stickers and the personalised trucker Tim photo and it said happy 12th birthday Daniel 👍

Yep bet that was strane ,seen one go past and was like no noise . hopefully see ya at truck fest

Think I'll give the electric truck a miss, 👎 you can't beat the sound of a diesel 730 V8. 👍 😍

I don’t know if anyone else noticed that Sean passed by in the wrecker while they were lowering the cab. Great video time

always cant wait for Trucker Tim upload

Incredible Tim, a real statement of the future for trucking, but I did not hear the price of that one.

Great video mate love the Scania t cab great work

Tim i think you should buy a volvo one day to add to the collection

You can charge the truck from home on a three pin socket as long as you've got a fortnight

Bit surprised that non of the European truck manufacturers have tried to do a Diesel Electric like the Edison truck prototype in Canada. Could be good for long haul in mountainous regions.

Who makes the batteries for these then Duracell? 😂😂😂😂 that killed me tim bro 😂😂

You still can't beat a good old v8

This is great content Tim!! We need to see new tech etc as well as the old derv stuff! Love this line.. Who makes the batteries, Duracell 🤣🤣

Good as always keep up the good work

These electric trucks will be great for inner city multi-drop work but a 300km range is useless for long haul work. I do a regular 1000km round trip to Santander with paper and wood chips out of Bilbao for the return journey,. You'd have to charge up 3 times for that!!!!

Love a Volvo and crazy it's fully electric t cab was rate weapon

amazing video Tim

That is an amazing truck 🚛 love your videos

Zero tailpipe emissions unless the driver had bad burritos for lunch. 🙂

What a beautiful truck,this and a t cab on the list then tim

No Tax, till they bring in the tyre and brake tax. They'll get their ounce of flesh, one way or another.

Can’t wait see both trucks finished there glimg look mint

Both looking very nice trucks

Congratulations bro

800 km range + 30mn charging time is the answer.

I love it, and I seen the record go past in the background

Tim surprises use every time

The reason you get more range in town is not because you do lots of regenerative braking. The reason is simply because you are driving more slowly. The regenerative braking can only return about 70% of what you already added by accelerating ... so even with regen braking you are still losing some energy overall, though a lot less than you would if you were just using the energy heating up your brakes.
