At the invitation of Scania Netherlands I travel from Düsseldorf Airport to Oslo, Norway, for Scania Winter 2020! A day after arrival we take the bus to the northern snow-covered airport of Trysil, to drive different types of Scania trucks in winter conditions. A variety of trucks, tractor-trailers, trailers; everything is there. Mainly equipped with a V8 engine, because that power is needed to transport the heavy loads in the hilly and mountainous region of Scandinavia. Detail: all diesel variants run on HVO - Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (biodiesel). A lot more sustainable than 'regular' diesel!
Four routes have been set out:
- a route on the terrain, in the snow, with many curves and slippery parts;
- a long straight route to do a brake test;
- off-road in a thick layer of snow, in hilly areas (with snow chains);
- on the public road, possibly with diversion to a nearby forest

I have been able to attend Scania Winter 2020 at the invitation of Scania Netherlands. The vlog is an initiative of its own; I don't get paid for that. I received the work trousers and jacket in this video as #BlakladerTestpilot from Blåkläder Workwear and the 'V8' hat from Martijn Kuipers.
