The new Scania trucks know exactly what their stopping distance is, because they know their weight. Even including a trailer, the truck's emergency systems calculate the minimum stopping distance for the emergency brake. Therefore, it stops just in time before a real accident happens. It is standard on most European trucks, American truck manufacturers should do better. Safety is important for everyone.

AEBS system far superior to ABS as it will calculate load and weight distribution through the air bags, when emergency braking is activated along with stability control. This is superior in everway to ABS The trailer will brake on the according side if it senses a rollover through weight transfer if the airbags this is part of stability control and AEBS is what stops you.

@@petrirantavalli859 It detects when you are not keeping your direction straight ahead and when you swerve left and right inside the line too many times, like a drunk person.
@@Joel.V. i belive it senses your steering input and how centered you are between the lines. On both volvo and mercedes trucks i have tested it and you can trigger it by "drifting" in the lane, left and right and lots of unnecessary steering input aka how you would drive when tired/not focused (only reacting when hitting the lines and not actively staying in the center
A cool thing about the new Scania is the EBS (electronic braking system) Which in short means it has a modulator that senses the weight on each axle and calculate the perfect braking force on each axle to achieve the shortest braking distance possible.
Wow, what an impressive test! I am absolutely speechless at how precise the new Scania braking system works. This is truly next-level technology, and that millimeter-accurate stop at the end - simply incredible. Hats off for this exciting content!
The gap after stopping was actually larger than that. The obstruction detector is much lower than the tube things on top. suspect it was reacting more to the vertical face of the inflatable sofa underneath. it just puts the inflatable tubes closer to the front.
@@Razzman-bv5qccan you explain if the automatic breaking system adjusts the required breaking power to the remaining distance and speed to break as slow as possible while still stopping in time?
@@mkusmic It's a mixture of sensors, radar/lidar working together. The trucks are well aware of their surroundings. In addition they know truck weight, speed and your inputs as a driver. Those inputs put together enables the truck to react in due time to prevent accidents. Or at least that is at least a rough explanation of it. I have yet to see how good the system works, when road conditions is icy/very slippery or just too unpredictable. Also I dont know at what distances these systems work, but they do seem to be able to work reliable at most speeds and distances. This is a link to a dashcam video from Norway, where a Volvo truck is forced into emergency braking. It shows just how good the system is. -> ruclips.net/video/TtN2STogGXI/видео.html
I really like your videos Bruce Wilson.. you are a great ambassador for Scania. I'm Kjelle, a Swedish truckdriver for 36 years.. and of course drive a Scania.. 660r. Keep up the good work 👍
I am Swedish and worked for Volvo trucks in the 80s, already these trucks seems to be ahead of US trucks of today.. but, the US trucks just looks soooo damn good, love this old style designs. Have 2 Harleys from the 90s just because of the looks and the feeling😊
It'd be so cool to see someone stuff all the safety features of a European truck into the body panels of an old American truck. Aside from the grill to make room for the sensors, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, it just wouldn't be practical.
@bow-tiedengineer4453 Because we have all those features that you have in your European trucks, but we are not interested in them. Too hard for you to understand?
@@void308 LOL, I'm American too. Also, while I absolutely would love to have safer trucks on the road here in the US, the entire point of the comment was that it'd be cool if Europeans could have trucks that look as cool as some of ours do.
Like a lot of viewers, I stared watching Bruce wilson through "will it start" videos that I enjoyed. By passion and being crazy enough, he jumped on Scania and got international viewers. It may annoy some but it brought content that works. I see it as a big opportunity for the industry in the US to pay attention to what their safety and quality standards should be. They are plenty capable, they just need a big foot up their ass... Every one wins here!
Hahaha, Americans are too arrogant, the US is the best at everything, the greatest country, democracy, economy, blablabla... Don't expect Americans to think that they can learn from others. Plus... Americans and safety standards? "Scafoldings are for pussies", "using that safe tool makes you gay"... No Americans are proud to work in unsafe conditions, and to destroy their health for their boss for a shitty pay, because they are not commies. Funny enough, that's exactly the working conditions of communist countries.
@@r11tc They know what's being done elsewhere, it's just that there is no american competition, they are all lazy and there are not enough safety equipment regulations. I am against to many gadgets in my vehicles, but there is a minimum required.
Everyone COULD win but Trump will just put up trade barriers (were USA not going to war for free trade and democracy not that long ago?) and tolls and allow US truck manufacturers to keep under performing, using tech from 70-80´s and result will be same number of death in traffic, a lot worse working conditions for the truckers than needed and thus it will be the same "Boeing doors falling off" situation. But they probably will keep delivering good quarterly earnings until the wheels fall off. As with so many things wrong in USA it basically are down to the US lobby laws that allow anyone with money, from Israel to fossil fuel companies, to buy the two parties opinions long before any voters turn up at the boot. Then you end up with an industry that basically dictates their own rules instead of politicians developing the society by demanding more and better solutions technologically. The Euro trucks pollute less, drive longer per weight/distance/fuel unit but pollution prevention solutions still seems like one of the reasons/technical tradebarriers made to prevent better products/solutions coming into USA.
My little super compact Peugeot E208 has the same system and it actually works. It saved me from running into a traffic jam in bad weather and also braked for a cyclist running a red light.
I would like to see break test with fully loaded trailer with 44 tons. It would be interesting to see europien an US fully loaded truck brake side by side, I know you don't have europien trailer but it would be still cool to see that. Also it would be interesting to see acselaration difference of fully loaded trucks, on flat surface and up the steep hill. It would be cool to see a drag race like that between American and European trucks.
@matiasmaensivu7723 it is pretty much expected that European truck will win, but there are no videos comparing two new trucks from USA and Europe on RUclips. It would be nice to see video showing difference between loaded American and European trucks in breaking and acselarating. There are plenty of videos comparing Europien trucks.
I don't get how America is one of the technology advanced countries yet their trucks and cars are some of the most prehistoric around? You are decades behind Europe when it comes to automotive tech. Good on Bruce for giving the US truck industry a boot up the axxx👍
@@antiresident They love Elon Musk because he acts like some kind of rock star. That's why they also love Tesla. As long as the American people are the stupidest people in the world they are also easy to fool. Elon Musk knows that and D.Trump knows that. That's why Elon and Trump can get Americans to buy whatever they sell to them.
American trucks are not so fancy, but they are reliable! You can make easily 3 million kilometers on them before to rebuild,compared with 1 million kilometers in Europe! Unfortunately, with the current emission’s regulations,imported from Europe, the new trucks are more expensive, problematic, and very often sitting in the repair shops for emission related issues!
Bruce, my advice is to upgrade the production value a bit for tests like this. Like real time speed gauge and and distance. It's fine to make vlog style videos with a cell phone when you talk about stuff, but for a million subs I am sure you can have/borrow a laser speed gun, maybe even a low tech high speed cam. Maybe have a split screen for the cameras that film dash, outside mounted cam and one stationary cam on the roadside.
Scania..... the best tractor ever Here in Kenya, companies that own Scanias get the most jobs...coz of their safety I drive a R440 mid lift 2019,transporting LPGas
With all of the hassle of getting Scania trucks into the states, American truck companies probably couldn't care less. There unfortunately won't be a rush to import scania's for a while

Hi bruce I own a scania 770s v8 it s a year old and this is why I have one they are fantastic trucks in many many ways I just couldn't belive that freightliner from 2019 it was sliding all over the place . The scania 770s is as is other scania trucks are very safe very nice to drive I own three a 770s v8 a r590 and a 650s v8 . Even the old scania beat the pants of your American truck . You American boys need these new scania trucks like yesterday
Thank you thank you for bringing this truck over to show all of us head to head. we are kinda getting ripped and far behind in tech on our trucks. People complaining about the aerodynamics, but come on we see all squared up peters and nobody sasys nothing. Hopefully one day we will be able to see DAF, SCANIA, MAN, etc over here in the USA. Thanks!!
Brilliant video Bruce, scania trucks are so advanced in technology. I've drove a scania 26 ton. And I'm currently driving a volvo fm 26 ton in the UK, both are good trucks.
When you said your brother was going to help with the testing,for a milli second I thought he was going to sit on the inflatable sofa. 😂 Its sad that that a 97 Scania still outclasses a more modern American truck, just goes to show what happens when you have no competition. 😎
I have watched your Scania videos like multiple times, really enjoying what you doing with it wish you could put more videos sooner definitely enjoy the heck out of your content lately
You can get an self adjusting airfoil which lifts up to increase resistance and R and S series, but its only available as an option on limited specifications
An episode on costing would be interesting. I recall another trucker asking how much the new Scanua is, and realing at the price. Here in Australia Scania's are expensive, yet, they make up a third of trucks on the road. When you crunch the numbers they are more economical per mile. An episode that compares Scania to Kenworth, Peterbilt and Mack. Cost should be done over 10 year period. Considering that Scania is so reliable, they could be leased over a longer period. Other cost factors such as fuel consumption, services and engine rebuilds should be looked at.
@wayniexagt I'm a Hungarian woman. (I don't know how I got here.😅) Anyway, I noticed that American manufacturers pay attention to the safety of those sitting inside first, while here in Europe we also put emphasis on the safety of people and objects outside. After all, in a truck accident, it's safer to sit inside than to stand outside...
@invisiblelathatatlan i would not want to be in an American truck in the event of a crash they are pop rivetted together and the main cab falls apart no good when you are inside plus their braking systems are very substandard to European truck ... many videos prove this ... this being one of them
@@alflife2007 Most American brands are owned by European companies: - International, owned by Traton, the VW Group who also owns Scania and MAN. - Volvo owns Volvo trucks Europe, Volvo trucks USA, Renault trucks, Mack - Freightliner iis owned by Daimler truck, which is basically the Mercedes Group - Western Star Trucks is owned by Daimler - Sterling is owned by Daimler - Detroit Diesel is owned by Daimler as well - PACCAR owns DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt, but the PACCAR engines are mostly from DAF now. But American brands keep some independence, and don't seem to want modern technologies.
The auto braking is more reactive the faster you go. Had it on a VW Passatt company car, our 2019 Discovery (LR5) on my E53 Mercedes and the other half's Kia Niro. Bloody epic.
Even more reactive in a truck due to stopping distances! This is part of why truck drivers honk at people for cutting in so close in front of them, it can very easily trigger emergency braking if the cutting in vehicle brakes even slightly.
@ The system used by Scania, from my understanding, reacts to the overall weight of the truck, so if you are hauling 44t the system calculates stopping distance for your speed and weight then brakes earlier.
Try this with a loaded trailer and you'll even be more amazed. The control system on the NG Scania knows how heavy the tractor and the trailer are and even how many braked axles you are running and calculates and applies braking power just in time to halt the combination to a standstill before hitting the oncoming obstacle. What I was astonished by is how Mercedes Benz (who this freightliner is actually built by) have the same system as standard on their MP5 tractors and onwards.
The first Scanias started getting ABS in 1991. So Surely your 1997 has ABS. EU legislation requires heavy commercial vehicles over 3500kg gross weight to stop entirely within 10meter at 30km/h no matter the load. And the sliding or skidding. So that's why your Scania just goes straight when braking, it is build and designed for it. But watch it with automatic brakes and cruise control activated. It will start braking when a vehicle in front of you turns to the right. And don't rely on the automatic brakes in snow and heavy rain, the distance radar will turn off automatically!!
I’m a coach driver in the uk and drive Iriza Spanish built coaches on Scania and MAN platforms and they can recognise pedestrians and vehicles with anti collision brakes. To be honest most coaches have this technology as standard in the uk now.
He intentionally ordered it without those mirrors, presumably because the didn't like the look of them. But it makes sense too, because american trucks don't have them and he wants it to appeal to them.
Jeżdżę taką w Polsce tylko że już z nową deską rozdzielczą z tabletami i ten system już parę razy mi uratował tyłek😅 pozdrawiam fajny kanał daje suba💪💪
Thats just nuts!! Obviously the outcome fully loaded would be different but it does show us mere mortals where the money goes in R & D by these companies, amazing that a truck shaped like a brick performs that well , thanks bruce & the team for entertaining us while educating us too !! Haha a bit hello from great britain
Hi Bruce! Show me how the automatic cruise control system works, it's a button from the bottom of the steering wheel in the middle, the choice of distance. It works together with the emergency braking system from this video, this is a very cool feature, the truck itself changes speed depending on the speed of the car that is driving in front and, if necessary, stops just as abruptly. So you can set the cruise to 40, and drive another car ahead at 30 and the Scania will slow down by itself to 30, and then, as soon as the car in front goes ahead, the Scania will accelerate to the set 40. Very convenient.
Here in Europe I think it is still Volvo trucks that are so famous for their emergency braking. Probably because there have been rather impressive youtube videos where school kids are not turned into red paste. I think all new euro trucks are similar in breaking performance because this tech is mandatory now.
I don't like Volvo so much. In the Volvo's you are sitting so high up in the seat, while in Scania you can just let the air out from the chair. I prefer sitting in a Scania then in a Volvo that's for sure but I drive both.
Worth also noting that when you done the auto break on the new gen you also had the rear axle up so if it was down you’d stop even faster like the old gen scania did, would also love to see a sudden break test so something like pushing the inflatables out in front as it drives along to test how reactive it is when something sudden pops infront like a person running in front for example
Are you ready to be out through the windscreen of that 770? 🤣 even the old 4 series will stop if the brakes are good and mantained, very clean that 4 series.
Hi Bruce I’ve been driving a 2018 R450 with auto braking, my only problem with it is if you are following a vehicle and it decides to turn left or right and you know you don’t need to brake and you will pass behind it safety the truck will take over and brake for you and catch you unawares sometimes. But fantastic trucks enjoying your vlogs.
Bruce, I have watched your channels since the very beginning. I saw the thumbnail, and went, “O…S*it! This dumbass is about to destroy something!” (Honestly, you have that history.) Then I saw inflatables. Well done.
Works on big animals too, Line assists will help also. If you’re coming to quickly in a corner as well it quickly reduces your to safe speed. It feels if the weight shifts to much in a long turn and a warning is given maybe even slow you down. Many things that make life safer for drivers and others including animals. It safer for the cargo as well, more get delivered and more can go home. Less downtime, less loss.
That Freightliner is just all around sad. How is it that slow when it's not loaded down at all? Way back when I first started I had some yard work at the end of my shift, including bobtailing over a couple of Volvos over to a fuel station to fuel up. These were not big tractors, single rear axle, 380 hp, tiny things from 2001-2003. They accelerated as fast as my car without a trailer weighing them down.
The new Scania is not wasting distance on auto-brake, but that also means it maintains optimal traction and keeps the rig controllable if you chose to steer clear of the obstacle - and as a bonus, intended or not, whoever is behind you gets some extra distance to brake instead of ending up under your trailer's bumper. I love technology when it works. 😊
There's already been someone trying, and failing big by using the "we 'muericans prefere real trucks..." argument, not understanding that as European truck, specially specked for the Nordics (same axle config as what Bruce has) is larger and n sll ways, exept from bumper to rear wheel, and have less drag from the trailer because of how close it is to the cabin.
The truck measures the soeed of the truck, the weight of the truck (including cargo) and the distance to the "target" and then tries to break down in a as safe/smooth as possible way (for both parts), thst eay the truck won't uncontrollably throw you against the front screen. This depending on distance.
It's not actually that close acording to the truck, if you look right above where the front license plate would be you see a black square, that's the radar sensor and the distance from that to whatever obstacle is what the truck thinks the distance is
Bruce you also need to show how it works when your following a moving vehicle and the vehicle slows closing the distance and then brakes heavily or stops fast .
The auto brake I've used first tells you to brake THEN it slams its brakes if you do nothing. Also cool burnout. It's a must. 😂 Next up try how it does on slippery surface.
I registered that it was a little snow or ice on his road, so just imagine if the truck had winter (Ice/snow (tri-peak)) tires from Nokian instrad of summer tires or "all-year" tires
I have a European CDL and our company uses Volvo FM tractors combined with dual axle trailers. When I use the adaptive cruise control the system reacts faster than I ever can.
There are several videos of us semi trucks advanced braking systems locking up when semi truck goes into little curve causing the truck to jack knife at highway speed! Other thing is if you’re pulling a older semi trailer with an ABS system tractor it can get live very easily and what conditions. European semi trucks are way beyond ours for safety when it comes to breaking they should regulate that part in the US to change to save lives
@@marcmo7138 how does it work? I have never seen a connector for the electronic brake controller on any of the trailers, only the old ebrake stuff... or are they also ISO 12098 (trailer lights) and ISO 7638-1 (EBS/ABS) like over here...
Whenever I watch crash videos with semis in the us I always think to myself "why the hell isn't he braking?" I guess they always are, they just have dangerously bad brakes.
European trucks are so much saver I guess 😉 I drive a Volvo FH4 it also brakes automatically. It's a great invention it makes our job a bit saver but it's a pain in the face if a car passes you and goes back in your lane to short before your bumper.. When you have a load of 20.000 kilo then you feel that in the neck.. Great content 👌 Keep on trucking!
Perhaps authorities should be relaying that information to car drivers. I didn't know about your auto brakes activating like that, and in future will try to not pull back in until I am well ahead of the truck.
Try the hellcat on adaptive cruise at 30 mph and side if the auto braking engages. Not many NA cars have the auto braking/auto steering avoidance when not on adaptive cruise.
European Truck, car, and bus manufacturers are required by LAW to pulse the hazard lights (as well as turn them on after an emergency braking scenario such as what we saw in this video).. makes me wish America would follow suit because i have seen some scares because of people not paying attention. it is crazy to see how quickly something THIS heavy stop that quickly.. truly mindblowing
@@Lorre982 Correct. Orange/Amber for warning/direction and red lights only for brake and awareness (in lack of another word). After coming to a full stop in this scenario, the brake has to be engaged to disable the emergency flashing off the lights.
Your 144 Scania has ABS. (I drove similar truck 11 years). But does that one have drum or disk brakes? Looking at stopping distance, I'd say you have disk.
@@Saunis in the EU ESC and ABS are also mandatory for the trailers so there is basically no risk in just slamming it. If you do the same with a no ESC/ABS truck and trailer, praying is the only remaining option.
The faster you go, the sooner it reacts. Volvo have a good demo video of the system. I've had it activate on me when I was driving a MAN. I was approaching a car turning left ( in the UK ) and being overtaken by another truck. I timed my speed to pull out from behind the car and tuck in behind the truck overtaking me. The automatic braking system didn't like what I was trying to do and just applied the brakes. I never touched them. It was all done by the truck. I wasn't at risk of collision , but the truck didn't like my closing speed on the one turning left .
Bruce, you are doing good job for US market, more you talk about differences, more US companies will try harder to compete (hope so). Same like with cars, few years back US cars was pretty bad, and now they are comparable, sometimes better than the rest of the world.
The scania auto brake is not bulletproof... i still experience during rain/fog when there is a large sign above the road or a low bridge that the truck can clear that its still slamming on the brakes.. but if you step on the gas after the warning you can override auto brake in those cases but dispite that its still a good system
So i m preety sure that euro trucks are able to use the braking force per wheel in accordance with the grip/speed of the truck on the surface,cause if you look the brakes were not fully applied until the last moment

@@Joel.V. i belive it senses your steering input and how centered you are between the lines. On both volvo and mercedes trucks i have tested it and you can trigger it by "drifting" in the lane, left and right and lots of unnecessary steering input aka how you would drive when tired/not focused (only reacting when hitting the lines and not actively staying in the center
A cool thing about the new Scania is the EBS (electronic braking system) Which in short means it has a modulator that senses the weight on each axle and calculate the perfect braking force on each axle to achieve the shortest braking distance possible.
Wow, what an impressive test! I am absolutely speechless at how precise the new Scania braking system works. This is truly next-level technology, and that millimeter-accurate stop at the end - simply incredible. Hats off for this exciting content!
Next-level for you maybe, over here it's normal..... sorry...
Old tech in Europe now am afraid! Iv had it in my trucks for the last 7/8 years at least
The gap after stopping was actually larger than that. The obstruction detector is much lower than the tube things on top. suspect it was reacting more to the vertical face of the inflatable sofa underneath. it just puts the inflatable tubes closer to the front.
@@Razzman-bv5qccan you explain if the automatic breaking system adjusts the required breaking power to the remaining distance and speed to break as slow as possible while still stopping in time?
@@mkusmic It's a mixture of sensors, radar/lidar working together. The trucks are well aware of their surroundings. In addition they know truck weight, speed and your inputs as a driver. Those inputs put together enables the truck to react in due time to prevent accidents. Or at least that is at least a rough explanation of it. I have yet to see how good the system works, when road conditions is icy/very slippery or just too unpredictable. Also I dont know at what distances these systems work, but they do seem to be able to work reliable at most speeds and distances. This is a link to a dashcam video from Norway, where a Volvo truck is forced into emergency braking. It shows just how good the system is. -> ruclips.net/video/TtN2STogGXI/видео.html

It'd be so cool to see someone stuff all the safety features of a European truck into the body panels of an old American truck. Aside from the grill to make room for the sensors, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, it just wouldn't be practical.
@bow-tiedengineer4453 Because we have all those features that you have in your European trucks, but we are not interested in them. Too hard for you to understand?
@@void308 LOL, I'm American too. Also, while I absolutely would love to have safer trucks on the road here in the US, the entire point of the comment was that it'd be cool if Europeans could have trucks that look as cool as some of ours do.
Like a lot of viewers, I stared watching Bruce wilson through "will it start" videos that I enjoyed.
By passion and being crazy enough, he jumped on Scania and got international viewers.
It may annoy some but it brought content that works.
I see it as a big opportunity for the industry in the US to pay attention to what their safety and quality standards should be.
They are plenty capable, they just need a big foot up their ass...
Every one wins here!
Yeah they should buy SCANIA and compare how their trucks compare during development
Yeah I only watched his trying to get the Scandia in. And now that he has a brand new one in the US. I am subscribed
Hahaha, Americans are too arrogant, the US is the best at everything, the greatest country, democracy, economy, blablabla...
Don't expect Americans to think that they can learn from others.
Plus... Americans and safety standards? "Scafoldings are for pussies", "using that safe tool makes you gay"... No Americans are proud to work in unsafe conditions, and to destroy their health for their boss for a shitty pay, because they are not commies. Funny enough, that's exactly the working conditions of communist countries.
@@r11tc They know what's being done elsewhere, it's just that there is no american competition, they are all lazy and there are not enough safety equipment regulations.
I am against to many gadgets in my vehicles, but there is a minimum required.
Everyone COULD win but Trump will just put up trade barriers (were USA not going to war for free trade and democracy not that long ago?) and tolls and allow US truck manufacturers to keep under performing, using tech from 70-80´s and result will be same number of death in traffic, a lot worse working conditions for the truckers than needed and thus it will be the same "Boeing doors falling off" situation. But they probably will keep delivering good quarterly earnings until the wheels fall off.
As with so many things wrong in USA it basically are down to the US lobby laws that allow anyone with money, from Israel to fossil fuel companies, to buy the two parties opinions long before any voters turn up at the boot. Then you end up with an industry that basically dictates their own rules instead of politicians developing the society by demanding more and better solutions technologically.
The Euro trucks pollute less, drive longer per weight/distance/fuel unit but pollution prevention solutions still seems like one of the reasons/technical tradebarriers made to prevent better products/solutions coming into USA.
The Cascadia's automatic braking system is like a parachute that deploys after you hit the ground.
Thanks for the laugh 🤣, great way to put it!
The Wile E Coyote special, lol
Time to load up the truck, the breaksystem is auto adjusted to weight of load. Life saver
My little super compact Peugeot E208 has the same system and it actually works. It saved me from running into a traffic jam in bad weather and also braked for a cyclist running a red light.
I would like to see break test with fully loaded trailer with 44 tons. It would be interesting to see europien an US fully loaded truck brake side by side, I know you don't have europien trailer but it would be still cool to see that.
Also it would be interesting to see acselaration difference of fully loaded trucks, on flat surface and up the steep hill. It would be cool to see a drag race like that between American and European trucks.
the european wins it by far
@matiasmaensivu7723 it is pretty much expected that European truck will win, but there are no videos comparing two new trucks from USA and Europe on RUclips. It would be nice to see video showing difference between loaded American and European trucks in breaking and acselarating.
There are plenty of videos comparing Europien trucks.

You are decades behind Europe when it comes to automotive tech.
Good on Bruce for giving the US truck industry a boot up the axxx👍
The only advanced technology in Usa is the weapons and defence
Yes America is a technology advanced country. But only when it comes to defence and weapons. Almost everything else is lightyears behind.
they love tesla…
@@antiresident
They love Elon Musk because he acts like some kind of rock star. That's why they also love Tesla. As long as the American people are the stupidest people in the world they are also easy to fool. Elon Musk knows that and D.Trump knows that. That's why Elon and Trump can get Americans to buy whatever they sell to them.
American trucks are not so fancy, but they are reliable! You can make easily 3 million kilometers on them before to rebuild,compared with 1 million kilometers in Europe!
Unfortunately, with the current emission’s regulations,imported from Europe, the new trucks are more expensive, problematic, and very often sitting in the repair shops for emission related issues!
Bruce, my advice is to upgrade the production value a bit for tests like this. Like real time speed gauge and and distance. It's fine to make vlog style videos with a cell phone when you talk about stuff, but for a million subs I am sure you can have/borrow a laser speed gun, maybe even a low tech high speed cam. Maybe have a split screen for the cameras that film dash, outside mounted cam and one stationary cam on the roadside.
Good Call!!
100%
Just needs a GPS speed logger to confirm speed onscreen. It would do ALOT on stuff like this. Or just a small camera pointed at the speedo.
There are apps that record and show the speed
blablablabla!!!! its a very well made truck! he doesnt need all those gadgets to prove that its better than american trucks thats real life no BIAS.
Scania..... the best tractor ever
Here in Kenya, companies that own Scanias get the most jobs...coz of their safety
I drive a R440 mid lift 2019,transporting LPGas

Don't think so. They probaly have a "Bruce Wilson"/"Scania"/"European" filter innstalled.
@@Nettoppnaa untill DOT watches this and a large amount of US truck suddenly dont pass DOT anymore as they take too long to slow down...
With all of the hassle of getting Scania trucks into the states, American truck companies probably couldn't care less. There unfortunately won't be a rush to import scania's for a while
they are just happy someone is throwing around with tarifs.
no because with lobbying, the uS government will just tarrif the F out of scania, all american parents should be raging, as the safety of their children comes a long way down to the profitability of the dinosaur uS lorry manufacturers
Saw a lot of comments about the inspection about braking balance, I believe that is a good example in this video with that Cascadia.
Swedish perfection its also works greats with a 26 meter roadtrain
It calculates estimated braking distance according to the load, afaik.
@squidcaps4308 it's works with a sonar Rader in combination with the GPS Frome the gearbox also with the loading type. End a lot off other sensors

Hi bruce I own a scania 770s v8 it s a year old and this is why I have one they are fantastic trucks in many many ways I just couldn't belive that freightliner from 2019 it was sliding all over the place . The scania 770s is as is other scania trucks are very safe very nice to drive I own three a 770s v8 a r590 and a 650s v8 . Even the old scania beat the pants of your American truck . You American boys need these new scania trucks like yesterday
Bruce putting in the work to roll out aesthetically pleasing content.. we see you
Thank you thank you for bringing this truck over to show all of us head to head. we are kinda getting ripped and far behind in tech on our trucks. People complaining about the aerodynamics, but come on we see all squared up peters and nobody sasys nothing. Hopefully one day we will be able to see DAF, SCANIA, MAN, etc over here in the USA. Thanks!!
The new / Blue Scania is just incredible/ impressive 👌
Brilliant video Bruce, scania trucks are so advanced in technology. I've drove a scania 26 ton. And I'm currently driving a volvo fm 26 ton in the UK, both are good trucks.
When you said your brother was going to help with the testing,for a milli second I thought he was going to sit on the inflatable sofa. 😂 Its sad that that a 97 Scania still outclasses a more modern American truck, just goes to show what happens when you have no competition. 😎
I have watched your Scania videos like multiple times, really enjoying what you doing with it wish you could put more videos sooner definitely enjoy the heck out of your content lately
Once again there's Swedish engineering for ya. You are welcome.
Greetings from Sweden 😊
You can get an self adjusting airfoil which lifts up to increase resistance and R and S series, but its only available as an option on limited specifications
Problem is if you stopped like that on an US road then the American truckers with their 1970s brakes would just slam in the back.
Hence why all trucks need to be Euro trucks 😉
Again and again and again.... We also have disc brakes on American trucks!
@@void308 Really ...all I see is those stupid drums ...even on the steering axle
@victorbaarn-v2p And? You want drums, choose drums. I have discs and so do many others.
It's all about choice! 😘😘
Even if it does not stop on time it still slows down causing less damage so good or not so good this system will always help.
Great and very entertaining video. Very, very impressive performance from the new Scania I have to say.
An episode on costing would be interesting. I recall another trucker asking how much the new Scanua is, and realing at the price.
Here in Australia Scania's are expensive, yet, they make up a third of trucks on the road. When you crunch the numbers they are more economical per mile.
An episode that compares Scania to Kenworth, Peterbilt and Mack. Cost should be done over 10 year period. Considering that Scania is so reliable, they could be leased over a longer period. Other cost factors such as fuel consumption, services and engine rebuilds should be looked at.
euro trucks save lives flash chrome doesn't
@wayniexagt I'm a Hungarian woman. (I don't know how I got here.😅) Anyway, I noticed that American manufacturers pay attention to the safety of those sitting inside first, while here in Europe we also put emphasis on the safety of people and objects outside. After all, in a truck accident, it's safer to sit inside than to stand outside...
@invisiblelathatatlan i would not want to be in an American truck in the event of a crash they are pop rivetted together and the main cab falls apart no good when you are inside plus their braking systems are very substandard to European truck ... many videos prove this ... this being one of them
Scania and Volvo trucks are technologically the best
Well, any Eurotruck actually is. If you name Mercedes, Daf, Iveco MAN etc. They will also beat the Americans.
@@Whitehousebeetle and DAF is Paccar which also owns Peterbill and Kennwoth. They can but don't want to

- Western Star Trucks is owned by Daimler

Always cool to see .. Scania is very good Truck..
The auto braking is more reactive the faster you go. Had it on a VW Passatt company car, our 2019 Discovery (LR5) on my E53 Mercedes and the other half's Kia Niro. Bloody epic.
Even more reactive in a truck due to stopping distances! This is part of why truck drivers honk at people for cutting in so close in front of them, it can very easily trigger emergency braking if the cutting in vehicle brakes even slightly.
@@VoxelLoop I drive trucks
@@VoxelLoop it even reacts on bridges and sidecurbs :D
I think the Scania also is aware of the load and also applies the brake appropriately. (to achieve the proper deacceleration)
@ The system used by Scania, from my understanding, reacts to the overall weight of the truck, so if you are hauling 44t the system calculates stopping distance for your speed and weight then brakes earlier.
Once again shows that these EU trucks are so far ahead of what the USA makes.
So true
This was not a scientific test!!! It was for entertainment purposes only!!! 🤠
well... they had been throwing out modern regulations since the 97' with the first EURO regulation for ICE vehicles
LOL we offer all the same stuff. nothing new here.
@@PaulGienau but Europe's work lol
That was really cool, that Scania is such a beautiful truck
Best truck in America right now
Great one
Worst
thats why scania is my favorite
Cant belive how impressed they are about what NORMAL safety we have in Europe...
yay. It's always fun to see your latest videos Bruce and crew.
did you notice how the suspension adapts to the breaking also ,its not just the abs ,its a coplex beast
Try this with a loaded trailer and you'll even be more amazed. The control system on the NG Scania knows how heavy the tractor and the trailer are and even how many braked axles you are running and calculates and applies braking power just in time to halt the combination to a standstill before hitting the oncoming obstacle.
What I was astonished by is how Mercedes Benz (who this freightliner is actually built by) have the same system as standard on their MP5 tractors and onwards.
The first Scanias started getting ABS in 1991. So Surely your 1997 has ABS. EU legislation requires heavy commercial vehicles over 3500kg gross weight to stop entirely within 10meter at 30km/h no matter the load. And the sliding or skidding. So that's why your Scania just goes straight when braking, it is build and designed for it.
But watch it with automatic brakes and cruise control activated. It will start braking when a vehicle in front of you turns to the right. And don't rely on the automatic brakes in snow and heavy rain, the distance radar will turn off automatically!!
i would like to see your blue peterbilt in the test but it was very nice👍
This was a interesting video...showing how safety actually works..😊
I’m a coach driver in the uk and drive Iriza Spanish built coaches on Scania and MAN platforms and they can recognise pedestrians and vehicles with anti collision brakes. To be honest most coaches have this technology as standard in the uk now.
Scania rules trucking world!!!
In safety Volvo rules the trucking world though :)
@@AlexKall true
"Did we hit it?" You guys need the front view mirror on top of the windscreen to check it is very useful.
typically that scania has it, but it was stripped for US market...
there is none on this unit.....
Why are they not allowed I the USA? Another safety feature they could do with
He intentionally ordered it without those mirrors, presumably because the didn't like the look of them.
But it makes sense too, because american trucks don't have them and he wants it to appeal to them.
@SirIdot I thought I heard in a previous video that they wernt allowed them on American vehicles
The 144 has ABS, ABS for both truck and trailer has been around for quite a while in Europe.
Since 1991...
That's impressive, Bruce. It's an awesome video, buddy. I appreciate you sharing, buddy 👍
Jeżdżę taką w Polsce tylko że już z nową deską rozdzielczą z tabletami i ten system już parę razy mi uratował tyłek😅 pozdrawiam fajny kanał daje suba💪💪
Thats just nuts!! Obviously the outcome fully loaded would be different but it does show us mere mortals where the money goes in R & D by these companies, amazing that a truck shaped like a brick performs that well , thanks bruce & the team for entertaining us while educating us too !! Haha a bit hello from great britain
We Scania fans in Sweden say that there are only two good trucks, an old Scania and a new Scania ;)
Hi Bruce! Show me how the automatic cruise control system works, it's a button from the bottom of the steering wheel in the middle, the choice of distance. It works together with the emergency braking system from this video, this is a very cool feature, the truck itself changes speed depending on the speed of the car that is driving in front and, if necessary, stops just as abruptly. So you can set the cruise to 40, and drive another car ahead at 30 and the Scania will slow down by itself to 30, and then, as soon as the car in front goes ahead, the Scania will accelerate to the set 40. Very convenient.
When the car in front of you is to close he drives too slow and you overtake
@@johan8724 And if the road is narrow, is there no way to overtake? we'll have to drive like the car in front, without options))))
Here in Europe I think it is still Volvo trucks that are so famous for their emergency braking. Probably because there have been rather impressive youtube videos where school kids are not turned into red paste. I think all new euro trucks are similar in breaking performance because this tech is mandatory now.
Mercedes
I think Mercedes is better too. They are currently the leader in Automonous driving.
@@dennis1143 they wrote the book from the beginning.
They don't break. They brake instead.
I don't like Volvo so much. In the Volvo's you are sitting so high up in the seat, while in Scania you can just let the air out from the chair. I prefer sitting in a Scania then in a Volvo that's for sure but I drive both.
Worth also noting that when you done the auto break on the new gen you also had the rear axle up so if it was down you’d stop even faster like the old gen scania did, would also love to see a sudden break test so something like pushing the inflatables out in front as it drives along to test how reactive it is when something sudden pops infront like a person running in front for example
Given it has more breaking power in reserve for heavier trailers, that would be pretty impressive to watch, I'd imagine
Are you ready to be out through the windscreen of that 770? 🤣 even the old 4 series will stop if the brakes are good and mantained, very clean that 4 series.
"if the brakes are good and mantained" i guess the main fleet cheap drivers in the US will fail already on that one :D
@Joel.V. haha yeah I guessed that since you're inspections are very relaxed in USA never mind the routine of services.
Hi Bruce I’ve been driving a 2018 R450 with auto braking, my only problem with it is if you are following a vehicle and it decides to turn left or right and you know you don’t need to brake and you will pass behind it safety the truck will take over and brake for you and catch you unawares sometimes. But fantastic trucks enjoying your vlogs.
The last person thinking US trucks are better than European trucks just left the building....
Bring Scania into the USA and it will up everyones game. Its good for the industry!
No one is gonna buy it and its not happening because trump is back and he supports only buying from America so maybe in another universe
Bruce, I have watched your channels since the very beginning. I saw the thumbnail, and went, “O…S*it! This dumbass is about to destroy something!” (Honestly, you have that history.) Then I saw inflatables. Well done.
Works on big animals too,
Line assists will help also.
If you’re coming to quickly in a corner as well it quickly reduces your to safe speed. It feels if the weight shifts to much in a long turn and a warning is given maybe even slow you down.
Many things that make life safer for drivers and others including animals.
It safer for the cargo as well, more get delivered and more can go home.
Less downtime, less loss.
That Freightliner is just all around sad. How is it that slow when it's not loaded down at all?
Way back when I first started I had some yard work at the end of my shift, including bobtailing over a couple of Volvos over to a fuel station to fuel up. These were not big tractors, single rear axle, 380 hp, tiny things from 2001-2003. They accelerated as fast as my car without a trailer weighing them down.
Very impressive demonstration!😮
The new Scania is not wasting distance on auto-brake, but that also means it maintains optimal traction and keeps the rig controllable if you chose to steer clear of the obstacle - and as a bonus, intended or not, whoever is behind you gets some extra distance to brake instead of ending up under your trailer's bumper. I love technology when it works. 😊
In Australia Mercedes Benz trucks had ABS braking from about 1986 and I will assume Volvo and scania too .
144 did amazing! That was little bit of a suprise. Tell me again ppl how american trucks are better.. I'll wait.
There's already been someone trying, and failing big by using the "we 'muericans prefere real trucks..." argument, not understanding that as European truck, specially specked for the Nordics (same axle config as what Bruce has) is larger and n sll ways, exept from bumper to rear wheel, and have less drag from the trailer because of how close it is to the cabin.
That was cool. Scania didn't disappoint.
Crazy how it was in centimeters close
The truck measures the soeed of the truck, the weight of the truck (including cargo) and the distance to the "target" and then tries to break down in a as safe/smooth as possible way (for both parts), thst eay the truck won't uncontrollably throw you against the front screen. This depending on distance.
It's not actually that close acording to the truck, if you look right above where the front license plate would be you see a black square, that's the radar sensor and the distance from that to whatever obstacle is what the truck thinks the distance is
Scania rules!!
Cheers and Happy New Years,, 👍🌟👍
Bruce you also need to show how it works when your following a moving vehicle and the vehicle slows closing the distance and then brakes heavily or stops fast .
The auto brake I've used first tells you to brake THEN it slams its brakes if you do nothing. Also cool burnout. It's a must. 😂 Next up try how it does on slippery surface.
I registered that it was a little snow or ice on his road, so just imagine if the truck had winter (Ice/snow (tri-peak)) tires from Nokian instrad of summer tires or "all-year" tires
I have a European CDL and our company uses Volvo FM tractors combined with dual axle trailers. When I use the adaptive cruise control the system reacts faster than I ever can.
There are several videos of us semi trucks advanced braking systems locking up when semi truck goes into little curve causing the truck to jack knife at highway speed! Other thing is if you’re pulling a older semi trailer with an ABS system tractor it can get live very easily and what conditions. European semi trucks are way beyond ours for safety when it comes to breaking they should regulate that part in the US to change to save lives
Don't US trailers also have ABS and ESC, is it really just the tractors?
@@DooMMasteR I believe they do have ABS.. they must have!
@@DooMMasteR Our trailers have ABS.
@@marcmo7138 how does it work? I have never seen a connector for the electronic brake controller on any of the trailers, only the old ebrake stuff... or are they also ISO 12098 (trailer lights) and ISO 7638-1 (EBS/ABS) like over here...
@@DooMMasteR Plugs in right through the normal light cord.
Good testing great result
Scania f ya!!! Even the older one performed well!
Whenever I watch crash videos with semis in the us I always think to myself "why the hell isn't he braking?" I guess they always are, they just have dangerously bad brakes.
European trucks are so much saver I guess 😉
I drive a Volvo FH4 it also brakes automatically.
It's a great invention it makes our job a bit saver but it's a pain in the face if a car passes you and goes back in your lane to short before your bumper..
When you have a load of 20.000 kilo then you feel that in the neck..
Great content 👌
Keep on trucking!
Perhaps authorities should be relaying that information to car drivers. I didn't know about your auto brakes activating like that, and in future will try to not pull back in until I am well ahead of the truck.
Try the hellcat on adaptive cruise at 30 mph and side if the auto braking engages. Not many NA cars have the auto braking/auto steering avoidance when not on adaptive cruise.
That is phenomenal, not just the new Scania, the 97 one while it doesn't have automatic braking, it brakes excellently and gracefully.
Doesn't matter what way you cut it, that's impressive
European Truck, car, and bus manufacturers are required by LAW to pulse the hazard lights (as well as turn them on after an emergency braking scenario such as what we saw in this video).. makes me wish America would follow suit because i have seen some scares because of people not paying attention. it is crazy to see how quickly something THIS heavy stop that quickly.. truly mindblowing
The orange/amber hazard light, not red...
@@Lorre982 Correct. Orange/Amber for warning/direction and red lights only for brake and awareness (in lack of another word). After coming to a full stop in this scenario, the brake has to be engaged to disable the emergency flashing off the lights.
@@uttiponken Don't forget pulsing the brake lights too under heavy braking! Really effective at getting the attention of other drivers!
Even my 2012 car already has it. Don't ask me how I know. 😁
Simply the best Scania
Your 144 Scania has ABS. (I drove similar truck 11 years). But does that one have drum or disk brakes? Looking at stopping distance, I'd say you have disk.
Drum
the black 144 has drums at least in the back or had when the changed the wheels

Awesome break checking test, Mr. Wilson🔥😎🤘🏽
1997 scania looks 30 years newer than a 2024 kenworth 🤣
Yes in Europe countries there cars and trucks put the 4 ways on when you brake hard.
The faster you go, the sooner it reacts. Volvo have a good demo video of the system. I've had it activate on me when I was driving a MAN. I was approaching a car turning left ( in the UK ) and being overtaken by another truck. I timed my speed to pull out from behind the car and tuck in behind the truck overtaking me. The automatic braking system didn't like what I was trying to do and just applied the brakes. I never touched them. It was all done by the truck. I wasn't at risk of collision , but the truck didn't like my closing speed on the one turning left .
Bruce, you are doing good job for US market, more you talk about differences, more US companies will try harder to compete (hope so). Same like with cars, few years back US cars was pretty bad, and now they are comparable, sometimes better than the rest of the world.
There is no real competition..cause euro trucks are.not available in the USA.
Proves again American truckers drive Flintstone mobiles.
lol
I love you’re videos, I’m looking forward for a drag race between Scania and American truc
The scania auto brake is not bulletproof... i still experience during rain/fog when there is a large sign above the road or a low bridge that the truck can clear that its still slamming on the brakes.. but if you step on the gas after the warning you can override auto brake in those cases but dispite that its still a good system
So i m preety sure that euro trucks are able to use the braking force per wheel in accordance with the grip/speed of the truck on the surface,cause if you look the brakes were not fully applied until the last moment
