Not sure about other countries but in Japan, lift axle could lower the highway toll as toll system detects the size of the truck by number of axles passing over the sensor embeded on the road.
@@CambodiaAutoDealer No tag axle lift in ATS & the one in ETS2 works unrealistically. Also, in ETS2 you only have 6x2 tag lift, here you have 6x4 tag lift!
Indian truck manufacturers are using natural mechanical properties ( elasticity) of steel, due to which during heavy load the chassis bends and at the bend portion there is an additional axles that automatically engage wheels to the ground. Once load is removed the chassis regain its original shape and that additional axles lifts up. 👍
вот это реально классно,когда полноценный двухмостовик можно пустым или с какой нибудь ватой сделать одномостовым,ни проходимость не страдает,не рвет среднюю ось на поворотах и реально нехило так экономит топливо,при этом у тебя полноценный тягач с соответствующей нагрузкой на седло.Подъемных осей много,но они как правило не ведущие или вообще лентяи,а тут два в одном.Можно даже смириться с усложнением конструкции и соответственно более дорогой эксплуатацией т.к. сэкономишь тупо на резине и топливе(а это сейчас самая главная статья расходов).
Tag lift in ETS2 works unrealistically, that's why you hate it. It's too soft and the trucks wheele with it lifted. Sadly, still unfixed. Also, in ETS2 you only have 6x2 tag lift, here you have 6x4 tag lift!
I've always been puzzled by these liftable axles on rigs and trailers. If it can be lifted up, then surely it's not carrying much of the load when lowered. I'd always thought they were just a "cheat" on the per-axle road weight limits.
They support between 6-12 metric tonnes (depending on axle, truck, suspension, laws and so on). Its pushed down in the road with air, releasing pressure from the driven axle. You can adjust how much its pushed down. Which comes in very handy during wintertime, getting more grip on the drive axle.
This feature scoffs drive axle tyres if you do significant amounts of manoeuvering loaded or travel on twisting roads loaded, cause you have no third differential.
And this tandem axle lift has been in finnish Sisu trucks from 1960s. I would say sisu will beat Volvo with its own liftable tandem axle system. And in sisu the axle lifts with full load in every situations.
@@nikokemppainen2215 And? It is still non driven tandem. EDIT: Well I read your text again and noticed that you didn't even claim that it is driven lift tandem..sorry for that.
+Jonay North American trucks do not have this option at all, and that it ever only shows up on a third rear, or "middle" axle, for severe duty trucks and tractors.
+Jonay Volvo Tandem Axle Lift is a new feature available on Volvo FM, FMX and FH and has not been offered on Volvo Trucks before. Volvo Tandem Axle Lift should not to be confused with non-driven, liftable trailing axles which has been part of the Volvo offering since the 1950:ies. In a normal, loaded state of the Volvo Tandem Axle lift both drive axles in the tandem bogie are in contact with the ground, transferring torque from the engine and contributing to the traction of the vehicle. The new feature with Volvo Tandem Axle Lift is that the second drive axle can be disconnected from the first axle so that the transfer of torque from the engine is concentrated to the first drive axle. Disconnecting the second drive axle is a condition for it to be lifted or the differential gear in the tandem would transfer all engine torque to the suspended axle (with zero friction). The lifting feature can be done when the load carrying capacity of the second drive axle is not required (on an unloaded or partly loaded vehicle, reducing fuel consumption and tire ware while improving maneuverability.
