Don't be fooled by the 770hp. Euro trucks have way less torque. Yankee trucks haul about 10tonnes more on average and go way way faster

A quick search online would say otherwise, the S770 claims to have 3700 NM (2730 lbft) of torque. The company Freightliner I'm in with the Detroit DD15 is making around 560 HP and 1850 lbft (2508 NM) of torque. After that it just comes down to specific gearing for your needs. Volvo on the other hand could probably offer their Cabovers over here if they really wanted to. Same goes for Daf under Paccar, both already have extensive dealer networks. Scania is part of the Traton group under VW, they bought up Navistar/International a while back. Currently they are entering the Canadian market offering off-road mining trucks last I heard. Having the short wheelbase of a Cabover would be awesome for me. I specialize in hauling glass up and down the west coast and western states. (CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, AZ, and UT) Unlike Dry van or Reefer I have to back out flatbeds and double drops all the way into often time tight narrow bays. The glass gets loaded or offloaded usually with overhead cranes setup on tracks in the ceiling of the facilities. Aside from the rambling, hehe, these Euro trucks have plenty of power and torque compared to North American rigs. I mean Scania and Volvo both sell trucks all over the world not just Europe, and other countries are gonna have different laws and regulations, and needs to be met.

@@paddysyron stop spreading false information

​​@@paddysyronwtf, EU trucks have less torque? Scania 730 have 3500 nm, Volvo 750 have 3550 nm, and Scania 770 have 3700 nm. I don't kbow their figures in lb.ft but it's definitely bigger than your most powerful mass produced semi engines. All US truck max output just 2050 lb.ft or only 2780 nm.

@@ajidamarjati I'm curious. An English born and trained mechanic in Alberta where I trained said Euro trucks have their benefits relating to maintenance. But he said they are slower and carry less weight. I have never run a euro truck. I've pulled up to 62.5 tonnes no worries with a 550 or so. I see Euro Trucks usually max out legally at about 44 tonnes. I'm sure their are exceptions. I look forward to running a Euro Truck. I believe on mainland Europe they are limited to 90kph? And weights? What's the story there you tell me?? My specialty are hydrovac trucks 86,000 loaded legally usually 550bhp motors on ridgids. Tandem Tandem or tri drives. Like a cement truck capacity. What do Euro Tandem Tandem cement trucks haul. 86,000 lbs is about 41.5 tonne. Thanks Paddy

Scania and ,,,,chereau is reefer trailers Rolls-Royce... you have the best 2 produkt Carlos...drive safe,, greatings from sweden

£267k??? There goes my hopes of owning my own truck 😒

@@yaserahmed1339 start with a van maybe.

Interesting to hear that..

From my own experience and what I've heard from other drivers, Scania's cabs are one of the smallest on the market.

Why so many spaces???

The scania cab is much better than volvo in my opinion! Bed is bigger and much better for my back and the flat floor is brilliant! Plus the steering is horrible in the volvo with the electronic power steering as there's no feeling through the wheel.

This is one thing I never understood! Are you there for driving or just hang around in the truck. I mostly sleep in the cab if I'm not driving. Space is important but the most important thing in a truck should be the ergonomics of the driving position! just for your own health. The bed of course is important too if you sleep in it. I could write book of the comparison why Scania is better than any other build, I dear say, in the world. If the Scanias S-cab isn't big enough then nothing is. Volvo FH was lost with its mojo for the whole 2nd generation. The driving was awful and the cabin was a fail from the get go because of the tilted windscreen. 1st and 2nd had problems with side mirrors, hiding cars and other objects behind them. The upper boxes and tachograf almost touched your forehead. 3rd gen is much better in these areas. And thank god the over steering is back on 3rd gen! Though I know the sleeping cabs in NZ can vary from European ones in length and height. But the point being why prefer space etc before driving ergonomics. We are drivers, not sleepers for profession. 25y of trucking with Scania, Volvo, MB, DAF and MAN.

As soon as I started the video it crossed my mind.😲😂😂

Volvo makes a truck with the mirrors the wrong way round. Volvo is shit

What is the heaviest weight you can pull

@@MCDeetlefs-jq1lb In Sweden there's a Scania S770 wood chip truck with 2 trailers weighing a total of 98 tonnes. But There are also the special transports pulling near 200 tonnes.

Imagine pulling 770 tons with a 770s scania 8x4 breaking Volvo's record for pulling 750 tons

not for a 76 tonne load of woodchips

@@gameforce7791 the 500hp was optional & if you can syncro shift like a champ its all good.

Truck + trailer 25 meters around 30-32 liters Scania 450 hp

volvo wasn't able to beat the s730 with the fh750, an 800hp version will not change anithing: 6

I drive upgraded Bolvo fh16 750 with different cooling radiator, intercoler, map software and bigger turbo. Hydrogen kit is fitted over 4 years and when upgrade was done, tested power was 832hp. Its much better on torque and fuel consumption, i drive very oftem maximum weigth limit 60 tones and still maintain 27.8 litres/100km in long average.

scania is the best!

It's not only that. Iv'e been told from Scania that you should have an under powered "Next gen" from the get go so your DPF would't stuck too early. They are designed to work best under heavy work load.

Cummins don't have a market presence here, so no idea. The big V8 will give anything a real run for its money

Yeah I know about a decade ago International had the max force engine which is a re-branding man engine and that motor nearly ruined the company

Most of it is stamped MAN lol

You're taking it a bit seriously Jim lad. It's only a truck. A few years down the road and it'll be regarded as yesterdays news.

Did you watch the whole video? And what difference does it make if I had bought it? It’s free content that’s free for you to enjoy and if you don’t like it that’s fine but watch the whole video before you comment.

@@drivewithig I DID watch the whole video with you taking it out with a trailer loaded with bricks, the title sounded like you had bought it or had as your new daily driver, if the word test was in the description it would have been less misleading

The new breed of steering wheel attendant couldn't get to grips with a Gardener. Don't think they'd be to happy in a fibre glass cab either.

In Ireland they run on KM/H and the currency is Euro. This is because they aren’t part of the UK

What world are you living in??? First scratch of the pos MB/MAN/DAF. They are from stone age! Mass produced trucks that sell anyway but just awfull to drive! I'll take a good 4-series Scania any given day before any new of those. Regardless of engine the Scania have been front runner in consumption for years now. Including the predecessor of next gen. MB Actros V8 was a joke, period! Volvo have its electrical problems still after 15 years. Good other vice but lacks the small details that Scania has. Volvo 1st and 2nd cab was annoying tight. I speak from 25y experience of driving. In some poit all of these manufacturers.
