Thank you for the heart-warming story! Living in Europe, I consider Scania to be one of the best trucks and the only one to have a V8 with Euro6 emissions standards.
I agree it’s hard not to mention their V8’s, but It’s nice to see them do a video on Scania. There’s only a handful of Scanias on US roads, but sometimes you still see one.
Mack E9 and Scania previous gen 16.4 were based off each other but Volvo ditched it for their D16g. Which in theory is a better engine. But still sad. Good to see Scania pumping the old Old V8 to 730hp with euro 6 emissions. US builders can learn a thing from the two Swedes
Scania put to the drawing board the first V-8 in 1964 and entered into service in 1969, the 14liter 350hp. Scania designed the V-8 engine and did an "Resource" property trade with Mack. Mack had the casting facility and cast the two blocks. One was standard (mack), one was metric (Scania)....Thee End ! ! ! Scania rules...The sound of Heaven. www.truckerlinks.dk/v8lyd.mp3
Garrick Pitts as an European driver I can definitely say Scania is one of the best brands out there especially the topline T series but I wouldn’t ever trade a large convential US truck in for a Scania . Too small interior and maybe because Europe has too much of a cabover saturated market
Hi Garrick, South of the Border in Mexico there’s some dealerships from Scania, Man, Volvo, and Volkswagen Trucks apart from Kenwoorth, Peterbilt, International and freightliner, and Since Kenwoorth it’s the number 1 on sales there’s plenty of European Trucks on the Road
I'd say get a Mercedes actros or daf xf as they share many parts with North American trucks. The actros is a really reliable truck and they have cummins def system and basically a detroit diesel engine so parts could be gotten easily 👍
Semi trailers 16,5 m. Truck with trailer 19,5 m. Modul 25,25 m. Timer trucks 24 m. At least here in Norway. Total weight up to 60 tonns on modul roadtrain. In Finland and Sweden it is longer and more heavy.
Mack and Scania had a partnership and developed a V8 engine block with the difference between the two was the cylinder head. Mack had the Jacob's type compression brake.
I was just wondering what you guys were going to do for stories, since you guys covered all of the major US truck brands. Good choice picking Scania ,they are a great truck brand, too bad they have a hard time selling trucks here great video, aye next one should be either Mercedes or Daf , great video
To bad you guys didn't include the opening of the factory in Zwolle (Netherlands) in 1964, which currently the largest Scania factory in the world, with producing about 60% off all Scania trucks build currenlty
V-8,V-8,V-8, the reason one even brings up Scania is because of the V-8. Its one of the handful of trucks on the planet that still has a V-8, AND its the "flagship engine" of Scania. Scania numbers are; 82m is 8 liter engine. 112 is 11 liter engine, 142..etc is 14 liter, 164 is 16 liter. -Jack's could do a whole video just on the history of the Scania V-8 and the joint venture Mack had with Scania.

@@Streetrocker28 Sorry Bud.

Really wish Scania would build the S series here in the states. Imagine a 730S with a U.S. size sleeper, omfg you talk about truckin in comfort and style.
At 2:22 It's a shame that we can't see the whole photo, shot in 1941. The truck in the foreground has a 160hp 10.34 litre inline 8 cylinder engine, type B801 or D801. (You can only see the half of the engine). This rare engine was made 1941 and 1942 and it was powered by producer gas because there was a lack of petroleum products during WW2 Between 1946 and 1951 Scania also made a bigger 180hp 11.3 litre inline 8 cylinder diesel engine called D802. The only thing I know about it is that it was installed in 214 buses of the B30 type.
Drove a delivery truck for a couple of years. First a 18t 94 and then a P9. Two axles, full air suspension, rear lift on both. The P9 was a bit longer with a longer day cabin. It had also ac, cruise control. They both had electric mirrors and windows. Man the P9 was nice to drive although it had the 5 cylinder engine that was a bit rough sound wise. 270hp made up for it though. And it was quiet once you got it up to some speed.
Have an Scania Vabis L76 from 1968, I run this old truck on HVO 100, a synthetic environmentally friendly diesel fuel. As I understand SCANIA actually approves of this for the DS11 engines (old style mechanical inline 6). However those modern Euro 6 V8 are approved for HVO100, Would say, SCANIA is a mighty truck with a small footprint...
There’s one Truck Maker in México that little or nothing people have heard of it, DINA Trucks I’ll like to see if you guys can make a video from them, thank you
Surprised didn't mentioned V8. They ain't loud with stock exhaust, but when straight piped they are pretty loud as this 80's Scania 142 😀, but i like that sound... ruclips.net/video/_TjPIsK2Z78/видео.html Maybe video about Sisu trucks, they are making heavy-duty trucks and also hybrid version with 900+hp.
I'm actually surprised that there isn't a market for tractors like these European cabovers to run in New England. Do they meet U.S. emissions requirements?
I’ve heard it’s because the fear from other U.S brands to lose their market shares to a foreign manufacturer . Scania wanted to produce in Europe and export to America to keep cost’s down but the U..S want’s them to open factories on American soil and use American workers for assembling the rigs and they wouldn’t do that because of high costs so they said no and the US said no to importing them ... maybe they’ll work it out in the future but I think the US is right in this and more countries should follow protective measures about certain technology and workforce protectivity otherwise you even get more sweatshop operated industries .
@@Streetrocker28 Sweden isnt some third world country with sweat shops the people working in the factories in Sweden probably make more than their counter parts in the US
Some of the cabovers look a lot the last cabovers that Mack built No matter how you look at a cabover truck it looks like a box some with rounded corners, still a box
I love the video but the audio quality and narrators voice is slightly annoying. It’s the way her pitch changes through the story. Especially when she says “Skania”.
For the reason of the tight city roads and streets in the urban areas like Italy and spain...they need something small so they can drive it plus the cabovers got more turning radius also the length restrictions require short wheel base the emissions.the sound and noise regulations .....but you still can find them in Sweden because they import them just a few for truck show purposes only...
Just did a video all about why Cabovers are not found in the US called "Where did the cabovers go?". Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/iGK5FDAyaog/видео.html
Our towns and villages were built in most cases hundreds of years before the invention of the automobile, so they are tight and bendy. For that reason unlike the US we have very strict truck length regulations, which are pretty universal throughout the continent. A truck should be no longer than 12 meters. A semi-trailer truck combination should be no longer than 16,5 meters from the front bumper of the tractor to the rear bumper of the semi trailer. A combination of a truck and a full trailer should not exceed 18,75 meters in total. You can do the conversion to inches. It does not make sense to drive a conventional truck, as the engine compartment eats up cargo space.
Because in Europe the bosses don’t give a shit about drivers safety and comfort or wellbeing that’s the reason they don’t find any folk to drive anymore . They try to lure young ones with bells and whistles but don’t want to improve pay € or listen to their drivers and give them some social life .
