Let me take you for a look around and test drive in my daily driver, the SCANIA R 560 V8 with it's 16 litre diesel engine producing 2,700Nm.
I've been driving this truck since new, and almost six year's on have clocked up nearly 600,000 km. So let et me tell you how it has performed so far!
Thanks for watching, Stavros

I would take a American truck for room but the high ceiling of European trucks are kind of nice I think. I wish Scania come to the US one day. I think there still is a niche market for cabovers in some areas. Especially companies that regularly drive in compact areas such as large cities.

@@DontUputThatEvilOnMe I think they'd be very popular for either city deliveries and/or very heavy haulers. Over here, in Sweden the only brands used for lumber, excavation or transport of heavy machinery, is Scania or Volvo. You'll never see an Iveco or Daf hauling lumber, nor with a hook behind the cab for asphalt tubs and gravel beds. I've ever only seen one MAN lumber truck and it was a TGX-35-640. If you need power, Scania and Volvo will always have what you need.

Nice looking prime mover. Less (bling) is always more when it comes to a working vehicle. I've had a chance to do a days work in a new shape R500 and you're correct, the auto shift has been quickened up quite a bit, (and the steering lightened). Where I live in SE Queensland, Australia, the G500 is becoming very popular and I see more of them on the road as the weeks go by.

@ram89572 4 жыл бұрын

what you mean his steering wheel spinner knob? They're great if you do a lot of low speed maneuvering but really and truly shouldn't be used at road speeds for safety reasons. We have one on our old JD tractor and it is great for that kind of purpose. Also have one on my pickup since I carry mail in that truck and have to reach across from the passenger side to the driver side to steer. Makes that kind of work much easier. Would never use one while operating in normal conditions though

Currently driving a '12 Volvo FH 500 tipping truck (mass transport for concrete factories) and came from a company running Scania 450s ('12 and newer)(grocery distribution locally) and seeing this one really made me miss the Scanias... From the last generation of trucks, Scanias just have a nicer instrument panel and buttons. The '12 volvo's buttons looks like they're made for a toy. I realize they're easy to read and so they're good for fast operation, but I still think they look stupid.

Hello Stavros and greetings from Trinidad, WI. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. At 11:50, you note that the v8 isn’t quite what she once was. For a relatively derated engine, is this normal, especially after less than 375,000miles and no abnormally heavy hauls? All the best, do keep safe.

@Mach_Style 4 жыл бұрын

The issue with the retarder going off is a safety thing thats tied into the anit lock brakes and stability control. When you hit a big enough bump with the retarder or engine brake on, and especially when wet pavement, the wheel will skid since it drastically slowed down from losing grip or even road contact for that brief moment. So the truck senses that and kills the retarder or engine brake to prevent a skid or jack knife. I know our american trucks will do that and I believe for us its tied with the ABS system.

Hey Stavros, great channel sir. I am curious... Do you get and shoulder drop on those super singles? More than you would on a standard Tyre?

@tntfreddan3138 Жыл бұрын

I drive 385/55r22.5 tires in the front and I can tell you that you'll have just as many shoulder drops as with 315/70r22.5, regular tires, but it makes the truck more stable and you'll generally have to make fewer corrections. They are more expensive, though, so that's a trade-off. But one well worth it.
