Svempa used run a tow truck business that grew to be a SCANIA custom build company. He had a race truck in yellow in the 90s that war pretty famous. He had a lowered semi truck and trailer with a police exhibition in it and emergency lights. A lot of cool custom trucks. I used to hang out at his house since I went to school with one of his sons. He is a true legend around here. 😊
He had a race truck in the 80's: the Yellow Widow. I was at the Truckstar Power Festival in Zandvoort in 1988, where it participated in the races. Not sure if it's the same, but could well be.
@@Tiger313NL could be. It was yellow with Svempas in leaf gold in the doors and blue leather seats. He raced it at Mantorp Park in Linkoping back then and after the race drive it home to Stockholm. He used to do burnouts with it on Sveavagen on car meets at times. It could do a little over 215 km/h. It was often parked outside of his home and when he turned 50 it got the vanity plate SVEMPAS as a gift from his family ❤️
"around here".....What is that suppose to mean ??? ( Just kidding )
He was also a legend in the trucking community in Denmark back in the days of Jamborees and truck shows in Denmark. Dont claim him for yourself 🙂 🙂 🙂
Bruce how come you didn't go for a longline cab,would that not have fitted in better with the American owner/driver
@@Namtov well the Nordic countries then. But I went to school with his kid and was home at their house from time to time and went to a show with him helping them fill in text on tyres with white pen as a teenager 😊
Bruce I don’t think you know how big this Scania USA thing is gonna turn out it gonna be big all cos of you 👍🇺🇸🇸🇪🚛💨
For someone in the know. The Chimera (race truck) runs 6 turbos and they do burnouts with that thing. The red towtruck it the odd looking bed is a stacker. Top bed lifts up to hold one car and opens up the lower bed to hold another and a third behind. and the whole bed tilts up and rolls back on to the ground with both beds.
Scania are the Ferrari of trucks, the stuff they do to promote the brand is next level.
I sold 20 and replaced them all with volvos. Doing much better now as a company 😊
@@thesimulatorguy4248 In ETS2?
Funny you say that, cause jeremy clarkson did a ad for them and he was driving a ferrari at the start xD.
@@thesimulatorguy4248Ur funny
I just wonder what price is ?
My old dad(1949) worked for the company 39 years in Luleå northern parts of Sweden. I think his mind and heart needs this kind of videos you make. Thanks for giving my fathers son(me) some pride and joy watching and following Scania and its history and progress.
Can’t believe Americans have been denied Scania for so long passed my hgv in 1981 in Ireland and still remember the first time I drove a 142 it’s like miners get gold fever or your first love great series on the build
Americans have been denied because toll duties on imported trucks to the US is kind of high. Thats why many European trucking companies bought up many US manufacturers.
Close to a million Bruce. I'm happy for you.
Svempa... A living legend in his own right. Tack för att du finns!
Love it, Svempa sure is one of the essential icons in Swedish trucking!
Hey
Thanks for the video!! 🤝I'm from Russia and I drove a Scania at home💪 I've been in the US for three years now and I also work as a truck driver. Now I'm watching your video and I want to cry ..)) Scania is top level 😎 I wish you good luck and I hope to see you on a Scania on my way someday, and I won't leave you alone ))))
They still have a SCANIA repair shop in Newark NJ, ( ABREU ). You should check it out. The owner has a beautiful SCANIA R620. They have a SCANIA race truck he always did a 1/4 mile race at Englishtown Raceway Park.
R620 can't be 25 years old or older? How did he import it?
@@AkuraIchiban I think because of the business he has and I think is "not for hire" so personal use only. But I'm not 100% sure. Check out
" Big rig videos - ABREU truck services"
wow thats cool man !n yeah someone deff needs to visit and film
I used to love watching that truck run down the track at E town. They had 2 I believe but correct me if I’m wrong
I seen scania trucks in Newark Nj quite a few times
"Someone's in a truck doing something..." Just that shattered expression that it's not you in the truck doing the things... I've been subbed since you started your Scania Journey, showed your vids to my father, he used to be a truck driver back before he retired, he absolutely loves your vids, doesn't quite catch all the English but he greatly enjoys the mechanics and the greasemonkeying.
"Someone's in a truck doing something..." Just that shattered expression that it's not you in the truck doing the things"
Exact same reason im going through the comments now. I wanted to see if anyone else picked up on it, lol.
From phillipines, we see beauty truks, thanks for your videos, sir,
I hope Scania get into the American market and rocks our world
As a Paccar supplier, it would do us some good to show that cabovers can still be extremely valuable and versatile in America, if done correctly.
Don’t tell that to Steve at FSC Trucking lol!
God bless him
Paccar could have rebadged some DAF cabovers for US
International Navistar has at the moment the exclusive market for Canada and USA (apparently in Mexico New Scania are available like some European/Japanese vehicles that usually never being sold in North America) but new trucks have MAN and Scania technology
Ask your boss to import a DAF XG++.just for fun. Big Cummins and ZF gearbox.
@@lenyard problem is 25 years old import for US and 15 years old import for Canada, for one year demo truck is not worth to do
@@marco_grt4460 25 year old Scanias are still 50 years ahead on US build trucks
Great video, cannot wait to see your Scania on US roads. Thanks for all the content and keep it up!
I see Scanias everyday and it's so fun to hear about the scanias from an american perspective some how. Love it :)
That Frost Fire is insane!!!!
Cheers Pat🇦🇺
If Scania wants to try and get back into the US market, they should bring back the Longline cabs, cause they are more like american trucks with the extra space in the cab
svempa is a Scania Legend. All trucks what i have seen are a legend
The 4 series got a new 15,6-litre V8 with two power stages, either 480 or 580hp. "Your" engine is 16,4l and was introduced in 2010 making 730hp. They are two different engines.
I’m not a truck driver but you definitely made me a fan of Scania
Bruse, yuo are Scania front sales man in USA from now.👍😁
I agree
Would love to Scania in the USA. Trucks need a change in North America I miss the cab overs 😊
I think You're absolutely right: The truck standards in the US need to change. Just an insane behaviour on US-part -to stand in the way of future progress. All north America and Canada need to think in the longer perspective; on what is the most effective and better future for them. Sure: The US truckbuilders would take a serious hit -by making Euro Trucks available on their markets. But as mentioned: The upside/reward in the long run; would be like boosting efficiency close to a time machine over a few year period. This on all aspects.
The need to reevaulate is essential; when 25 and 15 year old Euro trucks outperform -everything that is made available on their own markets.
The day a another brand Truck outperforms a SCANIA Truck: I'd sure would like to have that avalable for my company -as an alternative investment choice.
i hope that you will bring Scania to the USA
Bruce, you should get those deck plates that was on one of the show trucks outside. It had three deck plates that covered up everything. Just a thought for your truck. God bless Bruce
I believe Bruce likes the deck plates but it might be that the construction of the truck and beefiness of it's parts is easier to display to potential customers when it all isn't hidden under plating
I gotta get one of those Scania V8 beer holders, that's amazing
Merchandise is apparently more important than the actual truck to you. Guess that is exactly why American trucks can't hold a candle over Euro Brands, with Scania as the champion. To me it is the difference between the two markets, and it is funny that Paccar had buy DAF to develop the engine.
@@Paul_C don't hate bruv 😅😅😅
Great video Bruce! One small thing I think would have been interesting to have from the museum is the first Scania turbo diesel engine and maybe also a litle of the developing chain at the transmissions.
These Scania Trucks are crazy and very beautiful. I only saw the blue Frost edition and the crazy blue tuned S-Series
Living in NJ my whole life, Scania’s are actually not that uncommon to see here ha ha. There’s a pretty big construction company in NJ that has a whole fleet of Scania 112 dump trucks. They’re all from like the 90s but still Scanias. Can’t wait to see the new Gen scanias on the road in the US!
It'd be cool if Bruce did some collab with them. 😅
You can tell the quality of a truck by the attention to detail and how it does with work over the test of time. Yes every truck will have wear and tear and deteriorate. Certain manufacturers after 12 months of hard work will be falling apart and just rattling. I personally find scanias hold the test of time and generally if there looked after will last 5 years or more before needing any real work
If they are uses for work and have over 1 million kms and haul serious weight like up norrh, they are gonna be falling apart in 7 years of use and honestly could use a proper rebuild just to avoid being in the shop every week...speaking from experience. PS. Man I love it when the 16.4 starts pissing coolant out from the head....
I do believe that the mandatory inspections every truck has to go through in EU makes a difference in spotting potential problems early on
As a real scania-guy watch the vids of Max Hunt "Max auf Achse". He is an owner operator from Sweden and did a great tour through USA with his Scania 770S and his family. Absolutely great pictures and music!
Greets from Germany
There seems like there is a lot of Scania's in New Jersey, I have though for while you should take a visit to that state and see who you can track down and talk to about their Scania's and who ran Scania's in New Jersey in the 1980's and 1990's, I think there is still some old girls still working in that state.
Everything about the Sweedish from the way their School system is, to the way they look after employees and their lifestyles is impressive. It's a great model, and that's the reason they have some of the happiest people with much lower mental health issues than many other countries including here in the UK. Happy people are more productive.
I'm a happy Swede
Bruce, you must think about buying a small house here in Sweden. Avoid paying expensive hotels. You're almost a little Swedish now! Keep up your awesome videos. We Swedes should be proud that you might be able to bring Scania to the USA again.
Wow. Didn’t know I liked scania trucks that much.
that frost edition looks absolutely awesome
Just a little correction, the guy is not called "SvempaS", that's the name of the company he founded, he is just called "Svempa", the S at the end of names means it's owned by that person
Like Bruce's
Really enjoying your videos Bruce just catching up with them all especially the scania ones I work for a company that probably runs the biggest fleet of natural gas powered scanias in the UK & probably Europe
when I was doing my mandatory military service in the Finnish army I drove Sisu, Scania, Mercedes, DAF and Man trucks. After my service i have driven a Mercedes for 5 years and tried all the other brands + Volvo on and off and I must say the only ones i truly miss are the Sisus (SM SR and Polar) and my 144C 530 Scania (4 series 530hp 2001 model). The driver "settings" (seat position,wheel position ,etc) was amazing and the power of the engine and the mapping of the transmission was the best automatic transmission+engine combo i have driven to date. Also the cabin layout of the Scania is my favourite to date. We have a friendly rivarly going on between the finns and the swedes but i heave got to say we both know our trucks better than the rest of the world. (And about the Polar I love the big Merc engine and the Eaton fuller transmissions)
People say Scania is the King of the Road and Sisu is the King of the Dirt roads and small logging trails
I can't see the time to see that 770 rolling in the US
[9:35] That teal blue color on the Scania R164 Limited Edition 1999 has got to be THE most 90s color ever ~ everything came in teal, whether clothing, furniture, cars or indeed... trucks! 😄
* [10:00] Also, if that is the "Frost" edition, where is princess Elsa?! 👸❄☃ ☝😙
If I had the money (millionaire) I would definately order a top of the line Scania super cab long line truck and pay to get it over here to use daily not to display only but use daily, These trucks seem sooo sophisticated compared to US trucks..of course if I was a multi millionaire I would order a fleet ; )
maan, I dream that too😂since I started trucking I knew I can live like that forever😂I meant I wouldnt buy a house
As it stand, you cannot use a Scania for work. Only recreation in USA
Can you theoretically import a new Scania to the US if you have the resources and money? I believe everything needs to be inspected and possibly modified to meet the US regulations? That means all the lights, wiring etc. Etc. You gotta do the same thing here (Finland) if you want to import a new Camaro or Dodge Demon for example.
The Land of the Receding Chins delivers!😊
Svempa is a F-ing icon 😁
Hey Bruce I think that you will become another Scania Legend , keep on it when you get home and get Scania Trucks rollin down the Highways of America . That Museum is awesome , a lot of History , some of the older Trucks I drove in the UK wayback. The name Scania Vabis was my first memory of Scania when I was a Boy , it was a conventional then . Later on had a joint company Saab Scania and Saab make Fighter Aircraft that are in competition with the American F16. Look forward to more will it start videos if you have time ,😎✈🚜🚛👍
The Scania griffin logo is the same logo Saab used to have if you haven't noticed
@@AkuraIchiban yes I did know thankyou.
When you bring the truck to USA where is the truck show going to be ?????
Hi Bruce.
I hope i say this correct , Scania is going to build a New verssion of the longline cab. Button no worries, if they don't. In the Netherlands there is a company who is building Scania's with extended cabs. I beleve you can chose the lenght of the cab yourself. They are also remoddeling cabovers into torpedo trucks. This company is called Vlastuin.
Scania produces the engine for swedish built infantry fighting vehicles called the cv 90. The latest version has about 1000 hp
You definitely got the bug Bruce, great video, this is a life changing moment for you grab it with both hands.
If you have the opportunity, ask to drive their SBAT army truck on their offroad track. Its a 6x6 beast made from 1976 but still many of the used by Swedish Armed Forces today!
I have to be honest, the Scania content just hit different. Keep up the amazing work Bruce! :)
The no roof truck while it’s raining 😭
keep the clips coming
Those trucks are so awesome 100%
Bruce I don't know if you know this but those numbers on the front mean something. 124L 360 means 12 litre, 4 series, L is the chassis type, 360HP. 164L 580 16 litre, 4 series, L type chassis, 580HP. If you see a 143M 500 it's a 14 Litre V8, 3 series, M chassis type, 500HP
So on and so on
The 112m is a 1 Series, 12 litre, M type chassis
Good morning Amber and Bruce. Home you two are enjoying your trip!
The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world.
This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC ETH...)
How
.? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some professional advice.
You trade also?, |
No I don't trade on my own anymore always required help and assistance
From my personal financial advisor
That was a awesome video 👍
While you may think of the 3 axle version as very American, once you go across the border into Norway and during winter, you will get surprised.
Due to traction issues on the slippery stuff, most of the trucks going further north are 3 axles with drive on the rear.
The difference is clear every winter when the southern European trucks show up, they tend to get stuck wheelspinning at the mountain crossings, even after chaining up.
Since the weather changes quickly, it can put you in an icy soup quicker than you realize.
I think you mean 3 axles trucks?
@@AlexKall My bad! I have edited it... Yes, I was commenting as I watched him talk about tire counting so I screwed up there. :P
@@CMDRSweeper Yeah I was guessing it was something like that :D
svempa is a legend
Scania guys:
-"You think that american is really motivated?"
-"Dude, he's the only one that stayed in the rain to check out the trucks!!!"
-"Oh yeah..."
the longline was a 4th series aswell they changed the grill to make it look newer then it is what you could do with your 2 4th series aswell
Bruce I've watched the video on the truck u specked for the US market which is very nice just wondering why u didn't get a long line as more in line with US cabs
Wtf scared the lady at 19:05 😂
Didn't see a step.
😅😅😅
She just lost a bit of balance because she didn't see the small step down.
The red truck is a dual layer tow truck. It can hold two cars. The first one is going on the insert and gets lifted up and then the lower part is used to pickup car two.
Well Bruce the count down begins to get that Beautiful piece of Swedish engineering back home,
Now if Bat man had a Scania it would definitely be the Frost Fire Edition with out a doubt the back end is wicked, that truck has been at a few shows in the UK ( I did try and send you a video of it, but alas with no success 😪 ) anyway I see Ville has the silver burn out truck up and running again so great news all-round 👍 Keep up the great videos 👌👌
Bruce, you should probably ask to get some stuff to show at truckshows together with the R770 to show examples of how Scania trucks can be equipped like cab, axels, different bodies on the back engine options and so on.
Driving a Scania V8 through Osaka, Japan
Love your content.
I’m sure there are people at PACAR that are as passionate about quality as like they do at Scania.
It seems the Corporate Culture is the difference.
Those dayton/spider wheels look like tubeless rims, I highly doubt they will be split rims 😂😂😂
Sooooooo, what's the chances you ever drag a subscriber with ya to the HQ if you go again? Asking for a friend lol.
But no seriously, first time i heard the name Scania was in the mid 90's. Saw one of the old Mack/Scania trucks and had my mom raise ol dude on the CB so I could talk to him. She drove a Freightliner at the time and yes, i thought her truck was the coolest. Then I started researching the Euro trucks and was hooked. I gotta give my mom props for not only raising me to research whatever I wanted to know, but to teach me how to drive a rig and do what I love.
Next give away. Winner gets to visit the Scania HQ with Bruce and drive trucks at the Demo Center...and they can also work as camera man for Bruce
Correction, the tow truck is a 6x2-4 because the boogie can steer so it has 2 steering axels one in the front and 1 in the rear, a 6x4 is 1 steer axle and two drive axles
Are you sure it's not just 6x2?
I used to own several Scanias in Germany, moved to Canada about 1.5 years ago, drove Kenworth and now Freightliner. Other than the sleeper size I miss everything from the Scania. It's really sad how bad american trucks actually are and having no cab air-ride in the front, just bolted to the frame should be illegal. It's beyond me how truck manufacturers here seem to not care about the drivers at all.
I would love to see Scania in the north american market and I would dream to see a Longline version that is not a show truck so it not only would match but exceed american sleeper sizes. One can only hope and dream.
Keep up the good work Bruce, I'll follow your journey and maybe if you want we can meet sometime and chat about my experiences and comparisons for trucking and trucks between Europe (or Germany especially) and North America.
Scania V8 always.
More and more scania engines are being put in the fishing boats around my area of Canada being Atlantic Canada.
More Scania content!!!
Passion and skills makes miracles!
so many fab trucks cant believe Scania are not widely available in the US hopefully this will change regards from the UK my late dad was a truck driver ans im sure he drove a scania at some point in his day
He’s simply ignoring that "no weaponry"-sticker at 19:48 …that’s aMurican *lol*
i belive the truck was given to the UN and was running humanitarian aid missions. hence the sticker. they run unarmed to "avoid" conflict with the fighting forces.
@@fredrikdahlinwinscher8881 Yes, it's an International Red Cross truck with Red Coss stickers all over it. Used for humanitarian work in conflict zones, hence the "no gun" signs.
I think I need to source myself a swempas flatbed truck.. I need it to haul a racecar etc
I love all of them
truck show in the rain, sounds fun
The name SCANIA. Before Scania, it was Scania Vabis and before Scania Vabis, it was Skandinavisk Vagnfabrik (Scandinavian Wagonfactory), so Scania has bin there sins the dawn of days.
Yepp they have! History is one thing they do not lack. :-)
Before Scania it was Saab Scania. Saab merged with Scania-Vabis back in 1968. Scania AB became their own entity by 1995
I saw that red convertible truck back in 2010 in the nurburgring (not on the track)
Something I noticed at the pulling events: somehow the old Volvo and Scania trucks are doing way better than the newer ones, guess despite all those decades of devolpment the old trucks have more tork.
Btw. Try Sisu-trucks it's made in Finland and at least older models have fuller-gear shift.
Bruce 😂 the way you pronounced Chimera. It's an English word as well...I believe you Yanks pronounce it Kye-Mare-Uh
The Truck on 3:50 is Valley „Chimera“ !
To see this Beast is like seeing Bigfoot riding a Unicorn !!!!!!
Was playing with the Scania Configurator. Helps you chose the right truck based on road conditions etc so you're not buying something that isnt needed.
Love the color bruce
The paths are converging for a Bruce Wilson/Edison Motors collab! Heck, an electric retrofit in the old white/gmc tractor would be sweet
You could potentially fit one or two of those Marine engines in one of your old fleet Scania's
Gold and black with turbos my kind of Scania❤🏁💪🏼ok kids thanks for the video have a great trip ok later
ruclips.net/video/_LOW-8NDzrI/видео.htmlsi=0LQjRD9EGltRxelK
You should also go check out Stenvall from Finland. He has his own private museum. He is 90 years old now.
Though his fleet is all Mercedes.
Scania 🤝 like
You mentioned the movie Maximum overdrive in a previous video, i dont know if anyone told you but the first machine that went berserk is a original green Scania 14 liters engine
Long line cab is would be ideal for USA if it even possible to build one these days.
I've actually seen the classic Scanias in New Jersey a couple times! I guess they're still hanging around in that area. Can't wait to see if Scania will come back to the US again or not. If they do, I will sell my soul to the devil if i have to in order to buy one!!
I find it wild that if anything int he US says its going electric battery, people lose their damn minds. But in the EU, if a truck is going battery electric, they are all amazed an show amazing support lol
Hey Bruce that Scania racing truck the 1000 HP,,, it's been around awhile they even describe it as the head of a lion the tale of a snake it has a goat in there somewhere it's on a short video the dude describing this truck his total badass man there's quite a few videos on it but this place is beyond amazing man I love their showroom I think everybody needs at least one Mack Daddy they definitely take pride in their rides and over the past year I have shared so many videos and pictures of them it ain't even funny they got it together over there brother and it's great to see you over there again that third time is the charm bro you got it going on Bruce much love and respect to you man you're going to be the American that open the American eyes on these trucks would love to see more of them over here,, safe travels man💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💚😎👌🏼🗯💥🤙🏻🤙🏻
If your talking about the black and gold truck it's not 1000hp. That truck is 1000cui and about 2200hp
