I like what he said about the power management makes it impossible to damage a engine. Seen many drivers over rev older trucks.

More engine displacement equals better exhaust braking, something they didn't mention.

6 years later & he's right!

Every Mack I've drove pulled good , never got out of a pull I'd put my 550 6NZ against it

Nice interior.

I think it is very bad when you see an article like this and at 48 seconds into it we see you throwing trash on to the Highway. Truckies have a bad enough perception with the public now. But it is worse when industry Leaders show this behavior on the small screen as well!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7hmedKa3pirmWw.html Yeah, is true, but here' always the 16Liter volvo's crush the 13 liter, even if they both have 540 hp, bigger engines with lower rating tend to be more economic, last longer, and they consume less becauuse they produce less heat from lowerpressures, in 15liter, most of the energy gets disipated in the crankshaft interntia instead of becoming heat like in 15 liter.

Do you lumber ? Pick a lumber from one to ten.

I'll take an 18 speed

1:13 not quite more than tripled the hp of the thermodyne, 170 hp x 3 is 510 hp - 1:50 yes its torque that gets you up the hill, power is torque x engine speed, so high torque at low rpm means a lot of power at low rpm. If an engine cranks out 1000 lb-ft at 1100 rpm, another 1200 lb-ft at same 1100 rpm than the second engine delivers 20% more power at that rpm. Another example: Lets say an engine has a constant torque of 1400 lb-ft from 1000 to 1500 rpm, then this engine has 50% more power output at 1500 rpm than it has at 1000 rpm - this is how torque, rpm and hp correlate. Most commonly big displacement engines have more torque at low rpm, meaning they have more power at low rpm, stronger engine brake, and a higher tractive effort on starting, significantly important when you have to start uphill with 138 K lbs GCW . Here in Europe, trucks commonly have around 11 litres displacement and 400 to 450 hp to haul 40 metric tons GCW at (governed) 85 kph, but 505 hp and 62.5 metric tons at 60 mph in the mountains?

Were can i get on of these

Yes hp is hp But what rpm is it making that hp and torque?, no replacement for diplacement

Volvo powertrain. Very good

this is sweden made components!not small block!12,8 litre is not small!this engine and transmission,many years pulling in sweden 60 metric tonn vehicles with one drive axle!in euro this engine green and black color with volvo badges and 540hp...

Mp8 junk good looking truck

156k pound s in Alaska

0:48 truck driver throws coffee cup trash out the window as he makes the curve.

Modern version of the Rubber Duckies truck!?

Anyway, the 16 liter volvo is a nasty, angry, fuel sucker, angry piece of an engine, it's pulls like nothing, it haves a bigger bore/stroke ratio than a Cummins or a Iveco, and it also consumes a lot, 6mpg at 55mph with 100.000lb

Not enough horsepower , needs a 18 speed, mp engines are trash,
