That Kress coal hauler is unique. Never saw any large vehicle turn like that.

So Marchi-Mobile re-invented the Colani truck, interesting. Luigi Colani was a legendary designer of all sorts of things, he also designed several semi trucks. The cab of this Marchi-Mobile is 100% identical to Colani's DAF Aero 3000... ✌️

The WR8 was not the fastest truck of the 1950s. That was the Mercedes 'Blue Wonder', which was used to transport race cars and parts for the Mercedes racing team. The truck was powered by the engine from a 300SL, and was capable of a top speed of 170 km/h.

The fastest truck of the 1950s was the hauler for the Mercedes racing team to haul their sl300 racecar. The truck had the same engine as the racecar, and and supposedly achieved ridiculous speeds for the time while travelling the Autobahn, en route to Le Mans in 1955 (it was one of these haulers that came back to Germany empty, after their car was involved in the worst crash in motorsports history)

it's amazing with giant machines that can solve all the difficult human tasks

The Willeme-Michelin WR8 information is wrong. WR8 was the internal Code within Michelin for the truck; the truck itself was a Willeme LC810 (or LD810, I am not sure now), meaning an 8-cylinder engine on the LC or LD chassis. It was not powered by a gasoline engine, but by the famous Willeme 517-8 8-cylinder Diesel engine, 18L capacity. Restoration started in 1999, and might have ended in 2005 when Michelin took over the project. Worth noting: 2 brake rotors from a DS were fitted on the driveshaft between the gearbox and the axle, with a heat-extraction conduit above it. The rotors were so powerful that the drive shaft splines were twisted by a few degrees and the heat-extraction conduit had burnt paint on the bottom portion.

Speaking of the 1985 Paris-Dakar rally, that was the debut of Czechoslovak LIAZ trucks. Out of 56 trucks in this competition 1985, LIAZ participated for the first time. This is two 4x4 units. They were 80% serial types. Modifications were only the improvement of air filters for dusty environments, more headlights and reinforcement of the cabin in case of overturning of the vehicle and special tires to sand. 257kW 6-cylinder in-line diesel with turbocharging, gearbox, axles and chassis are standard taken from the most powerful serial type. In the first stage, these teams took 5th and 6th place in the truck category, both LIAZ vehicles completed the entire competition, while only a quarter of the total number of vehicles completed the competition, i.e. in trucks acuuratelly 20 vehicles out of 56 completed to end. The first crew finished 14th and the second crew was disqualified due to the withdrawal of one crew member, a Frenchman who was a brand representative for the French importer, who had a mental problem, meaning that the car finished the competition but with only two persons. For the fact that they only knew this competition from magazines, they did very well. They were the first trucks in this competition from the countries of the Iron Curtain. It was a shock to the racers from the west, who did not understand who he was and thought that in Czechoslovakia people live without hot water in bamboo huts without electricity, so it was a shock how far they are with the production of trucks there. You know propaganda is, and even then it was with you and the confrontation with reality was shocking. In 1986, several crews from the mentioned country participated with LIAZ 4x4 and Tatra 6x6 vehicles, and some of them finished in second and third place. The overall best truck over 6 tons of cargo in II. after the Second World War, many experts recommend the Tatra 111, which was still better in many parameters in the 1960s, especially in terms of reliability, cross-country ability and the ability to work even at temperatures below -40°C tested in Siberia. However, your propaganda will hardly admit it.

Very nice

I love the long hood of the WR8, and how it sticks out in the front. Kinda reminds me of a Fendt 626

Nice toys for old boys

Cool trucks.

Interesting. Thanks.

I knew the Van Staden brothers in Bloemfontein, RSA. They built the Zambezi dam and took all their plant back to Bloemfontein. Among their vintage trucks was a 1948 AutoCar prime mover, in which they told me one of their drivers had been clocked by the police at 120mph. I had no reason to disbelieve these fine old chaps.

very cool stuff

At that time, emission standards and particulate filters etc. were still largely unknown, as were fuel-saving designs 😂. Related to the WR8, what an incredible machine :)

Great video 👍👍

Great !

👍👍Interesting!

IN THE LATE 1960s , THE KENWORTH DART TRUCK COMPANY IN KANSAS CITY BUILT A SUPER HAUL DUMP TRUCK-USING GENERAL ELECTRIC WHEEL TRACTION MOTOR, POWERED BY A 7 - FLD V-8 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE!

The Willeme WR8 is actually an inline 8 cyl. 18 L. N/A diesel of their own design....

Unique

5:16. ТАКИЕ БЫСТРИЕ И МОЩНЫЕ МАШИНЫ НАДО ДЕРЖАТ В АЭРОПОРТАХ.

Marchi / EleMMent “has a strong presence in the U.S.”? I live in the U.S., in a hugely popular state for R.V’s and read hundreds of articles per year about trucks, cars, heavy equipment, motor homes, EV’s, etc. and I’ve never seen one, or heard of them. JS, how strong a presence could they have?

cool

All of these trucks would be fantastic to be modded into Snowrunner

Let's get this W on the track

The tracked Rally Race truck should have had a single track down the middle of the chassis it would act like a ballast weight increasing stability

I don't think camping & caravan site owners will be pleased when someone is visiting with a eleMMent Palazzo.

5:19 It was a diesel! A water-cooled inline-8 Deutz diesel that was built under license by Willème.

That engine of the Willime truck does not look like a gasoline engine to me. But I could be wrong

The Michelin's fast truck with its Citroën DS' roof had some accidents in Italy, eventually Italy banned it. Later Michelin did its tyre tests with the "Mille Pattes", a unique car that had 10 wheels and two Chevrolet engines: one to drive the car and the other to drive the tire to be tested.

5:22 That's not a gas/petrol engine, it's a straight 8 diesel.

04:09

Il servait à livrer des topinambours. 😊

That weird "Elemment" RV looks like someone tried to make a fake Colani truck.

The big white bus is to European for my taste

I came for the green longnose truck in the thumbnail. But I don't speak metric, and I'm too old to do that conversion math in my head. Can't you give the measurements in both standard and metric?

That truckw as powered by diesel not gasoline engine, skill issue.

150+ mph. Haul grain to the elevator, fast....

caminhão bico de ganso

What's 5100 nm in Foot Lbs? I don't speak metric.

5:18 WRONG. This is clearly a diesel as we can see the injection pump with fuel lines and no carburetor or throttle body. The intake and air filters go directly into the cylinder. This was so easy to spot, why didn´t You catch it? This vid isn´t too good...

h = 3600s

Ich verstehe kein Wort.wir leben in Deutschland.

Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state owned peoples gas station per city or county. :-(

WOFÜR WURDE DER SCHNELLSTE LKW DER 1950ER JAHRE VERWENDET? ▶ LKWS MIT UNGEWÖHNLICHEN DESIGNS 2 why is the title in german when the video is in english. it even advertises that it has audio info just in english.

Astra italian power truck better than iveco......

2:41 Inspiration from super Cars... The Design is from Luigi colani... Not from eleMMent... DAF Aero 3000 Truck 2001 Colani 🎉

holy crap Marchi make some horrible looking vehicles XD

Wahrscheinlich zum schnellen Koks Transport 😂

The Marchi looks like a copy of Luigi Colani's truck concepts, just not as nicely constructed.

The WR8 sure is ugly

Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla....the Mack trucks of the 50's were way better !

150 km/hr isn’t particularly fast.

Looks gay af

The ugliest looking vehicule was the eleMMent Palazzo. I'd be embarrassed to ride in such a monstrosity.
