Not all your information is correct. Many inline 6's use a twin cam design as well and most v8s use a single cam design.
I've owned close to 100 power units in a small trucking company since the 70's. I've ran inline 6's and V-8's from Cummins, Cat and Detroit. The 903 (V-8) Cummins got better fuel mileage but was a maintenance and repair nightmare. The inline Cummins wasn't far behind the 903's in repairs, but were easy to work on. I didn't run that many Cats, but had nothing but good luck with the 3406B. But my favorite of them all, in spite of their chronic oil leaks was the V8 2 stroke Detroit namely the 8V-71. The fuel mileage was comparable to others, but those old "Yamahas", like the Energizer Bunny just kept going and going.
Many a mile and many hours were put on the Ole Driptroits
You forget to mention that electric trucks will need to be recharged using coal or gas fired power stations.
Haven't smelled coal smoke since I was a child and we used it to heat our home. I smell diesel exhaust everyday.
@@steven4315 As Elon Musk says going electric on transport will necessitate a 30% increase in electricity generation...
@@AdrianHepburn-vz9yr Over many years, about as long as it took to go to AC becoming common.
When these charging stations take control the prices of recharging will go through the roof, that is the way of corporate America Right BLACK ROCK and the other two?
Even if they need is still more efficent to burn the coal or gas in big static engines than in a small mobile engine
Also renewables are evolving constantly, at this point is all politics andomey
I’ve got a 3408 in my truck and it’s been incredibly reliable and that’s what counts where I live in Australia. If it blows up tomorrow I’ll still have had an amazing run out of it.
Why wouldn’t you rebuild it? Cat still makes parts for their on highway engines. There’s incredible aftermarket support for them too. You can get new parts for it.
Never late with a 3408!
I can't wait to experience the 3408 CAT! I've experienced the 3406B, which I loved btw. Is the 3408 also mechanical? I've never had the chance to drive a V8 big truck. They stopped the 3408 1985, the year I was born, lol. So, yeah, it's before my time, lol!
Volvo stopped the production of the Mack V8 engine when they bought the company. This engine was a joint venture development between Scania and Mack that started in the mid 1960’s. But Volvo as Scania’s main competitor didn’t want their new brand “Mack” to keep on with this partnership, they wanted to promote their own 16L inline6 in the Mack trucks.
Maybe it would have been better if Scania and Mack had merged? They had many different joint ventures and benefited both from this.
Anton It was actually Renault who had Mack as the Mack V8 is in many of the Magnum Trucks. The Ultra liner is a Renault cab and the Ultra liner 2 is a Renault Magnum cab. Eventually Renault was bought out by Volvo when the 2nd generation FL was released as this cab was used on the Renault Premium. I know these things as I'm staunch Volvo I own 3 T5R's and a FM double drive Tractor unit all Lady's of leisure. An my 2 daily driver's are a V70 D5R and a S60 D5s. There's not much I don't know about Volvo....
@@tonysilliker5977 scania and Mack startet their relationship long before Renault came in as a shareholder in 1979. Mach already had their V8 at that time. One can say that Renault used the V8 developed by Scania/Mack in the mid 1960’s
@@12345anton6789 No, the Scania and Mack V8 are not related. 2 completly different engines.
@@WieDrDerJonge scania and Mack started a joint development of the V8 in the early 1960. Mack actually made the engine block for both companies for several years, it was not economical to produce the same engine block in different places due to low volume. The engines has exactly the same displacement and still today the current Scania V8 is largely based on the Scania/Mack engine block that they developed together
@@12345anton6789 No, two completly different engines. Scania's DS14 is 14.2L and has 8 seperate cylinder heads. The Mack E9 is 16.3L and uses 4 cylinder heads.
I am a V8 diesel addict. I have a CAT 3208 10.4L V8 diesel in a 1985 Chevrolet C70 Kodiak single axle dump box (former plow truck), a Detroit fuel pincher 8.1L V8 diesel in a 1983 C60 bus, then in light trucks a 1997 Suburban with Detroit 6.5L V8 diesel, a 1992 GMC Savana Van witn a Detroit 6.2L V8 diesel (will be a doner for a pickup), and my last V8 diesel is a 1981 Chevrolet C10 2wd with a 5.7L V8 diesel but I do have 4 diesel tractors and a 1981 Mercedes 300d and 1992 Jetta diesel even though there not v8's. However my favorite Detroit Diesel is the series 60
V8’s are the best.
V8 MOTORS HELL YEAH BROTHER
If you're talking Detroit.....you can always go to the V12.
The Scania v8 is still pushrod so one camshaft.
I started out on a cabover White Freightliner in 1980. It was a 1974. It had a 903 Cummings V8. It had a 10 spd road ranger transmission. It would wind up too quick. A straight 6 is much better for pulling loads and taking off. I was pulling a load, not running a race. I discovered this when I started driving inline 6 cylinders.
You're right about those 903's winding up:)
I drove a hopped up 3408 with a 6x4 across town once. It drove like a fast car compared to an inline 6.
My dad still runs his old K100 it's powered by a detroit 8V92T it's his backup truck so it doesn't see the road as much anymore
The inline 6 is the most balanced design, many v8's will develop cracks in the block before they hit a million miles where as a Cummins 6bt has reached 3 million miles without a rebuild. They use inline motors because it's the longest lasting motor design their is.
Wrong
Tell the 8v-71 that it's not as good as a 6cyl..
It'll laugh at you while pissing oil on your leg.

Suggestion: All European Truck Brands Ranked from Worst to Best
Thanks 👍
I can surely tell you, that Iveco is THE SHITTIEST EU truck brand
MAN has nice styling but isn’t great and I think Volvo is super overrated
I like the older european trucks , not the crap they build now. The dashboards look like shit nowadays and they start using camera's and screens in stead of mirrors. I think of quitting the job very soon.
@@MiyanoShuumeican't say yet due to not having long experience with new Volvos, but do the new ones still have wiring harness issues?
My 3208cat has always run great. 360hp.
V8 has his own fanbase ❤
What most people don't want to understand is Less cylinders results in less Fuel consumption and fewer emissions Not only Due to Engine size.
If you take One displacement, lets say 12L engine and Make a V8 and an Inline 6. The weight of 1 Piston in the i6 will be More than One piston in the V8. But combined i6 pistons will weigh about 25% less.
There's a minimum weight demanded to have enough material to withstand the forces of combustion, and with increase in Bore that raises only slightly. Way less than adding new pistons. Also Other components weight significantly more due to extra Crank counterweights etc.
All of that produces resistance and inertia that demands more fuel to Just move on Idle.
i4 would use even less fuel but it would need to be significantly taller and It would start to have Torque gaps because of no Combustion overlap. so is kind of Ideal for Truck Diesel speeds and rpm. Some EU tractors use i4s now but before they used i6 exclusively. Like 100-180hp farm tractors always had a i6 now many have i4's.
i6 is also a very naturally well balanced engine with very little need for extra balancing shafts and other stuff. V8 especially Traditional US non Flatplane isn't. And no one makes Flatplane diesels because they don't spin fast enough to gain from it.
All of this applies to pollution too.
When it comes to EU nothing compares to Scania V8 and Mercedes V6 and V8, but they are just not realistic anymore. Especially in EU new 6 cylinders sound like shit but the Power and torque, reliability and fuel consumption is amazing.
SCANIA kind of has to Hold on to the V8 because it has a lot of Fans with a Cult mentality. V8 is still not needed since the 2000s in Europe we can make Straight 6's with 900hp no problem.
Scania engine in a Moxy articulated truck was the sweetest running straight six I have seen.
I run a YMZ 658 in a MAZ 5440. It's performance and fuel efficiency is superior to straight sixes of the same era. To be honest, it is harder to get into certain things (I work on it myself), but it is a very simple engine to maintain.
Prior to the truck 3408, Cat had a DOHC four valve engine. The Cat 657 scraper had the V8 in the front and an inline 6 for the rear engine. That DOHC 6 was also available for trucks.
Best sounding V-8 Diesel is the Series 92 Detroit.
Spinning 3k rpm, sounds like it's revving at 8k
That's how they got their name "Screamin' Jimmy."@@anareel4562
You haven’t listened to the DS14!
And 16L Scania v8 with straight pipe as well ..
Then there's the Buzzin dozen...14 litre V-12 2-stroke Detroit.
Just by converting to Diesel Electric they can increase the efficiency up to 25-30% over night. Keeping the engine always at the same RPM under constant load makes it pollute less and utilize the power better. Also the cool thing about Diesel is you can basically get 0 pollutants out of the exhaust. You do need certain equipment to do so but combining Diesel Electric with the right equipment can keep the Diesel on the road for the next decade...
- And that's why I put 8 cylinders into this thing.
*gets surrounded in an ambush*
- Well, maybe you should have put in 12! (c)
Frist thing Int. you showed a 4300 transtar truck not a 430 Int.
12V71 2-stroke Detroit: Hold my tailpipe!
V8s were dropped because the extra weight is a penalty really. About 1,000 lbs or more weight difference. V8s make more torque and lower in the range but not needed unless weight restrictions are raised.
Even in Finland with a rather high weight limit, the V8 Scanias are not that necessary. 500hp can get the job done, sure with max load they really struggle to get moving but it can do it, 560-600HP is enough really, any more than that is unnecessary unless the terrain where you work is quite hilly or do overwwight special transport.
Nothing sounds better than a 2 cycle v12 Detroit
Drop a pair of turbos on the 12V71 and hold on tight.
477 HP @ 2100 rpm, 1251 lb.ft @ 1600 rpm with NO boost.
14 pounds of boost will get you 931 HP and 2442 lb.ft of torque. Will need bigger injectors as the 65# injectors will be too small.
For those who do not know, a 12V71 has a displacement of 851.2 CID, which is just short of 14 litres...and it's a v12, 2-stroke beast.
I dont have a v8 semi at the moment but I have driven a couple of older v8 scanias plus the old cool scania v8 models Are getting old enough to import to north america and in a couple of years canadians can import the 730hp trucks
430 92 series Detroit turned up will run by anything sure loved mine ❤️.... nothing stay the same.
Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!
😅👍
The last mob i drove for before where i am now i was driving a 2023 V8 Scania R650.
In line four next.... Long strokes and stuff....worked great in the model A.......
I like the v12 engine as well as the v8 and 6 inline engine
Here in Europe we have 2 trucks, that use V8.
Scania 730 and Mercedes Actros.
And you can order the Volvo FH with 750 hp.
Scania v8 is 770 hp and you cant get a mercedes v8 anymore
You're actually wrong. It's now only Scania. MB discontinued their V8 quite a while ago now. And it's only a matter of time B4 Scania pull the plug on theirs IMO.
Yes the actual Scania has 770 hp, but that is for the new model. Go back to arround 2012, then it had 730 hp. And at that time you could buy the Mercedes Actros with V8, which driving arround here i guess at least for the next 5-10 years. So we have a lot V8 trucks on the street, if the companies bought them.
But i have to say, the most V8 trucks are in areas with hills and mountains. For example scandinavia, austria and switzerland. in lower areas the usual trucks are with smaller engines. So they overtake each other all the time and block the Autobahn, where are parts with no speed limit.
I’m curious. Why do EU trucks have high horsepower? The trucks are small and shouldn’t need much hp for the work load it’s performing.
@@johnmoore1949 are you American by any chance? Our trucks over here may look smaller that's because there is generally an overall length restriction. That being said we are allowed to operate at 44 metric tonnes on 6 axles within that length restriction. Remember 44 T is 97000 lbs which is substantially more than what the states is allowed to operate at. Also a few countries, particularly the Scandinavian ones are allowed to operate outside the normal length restrictions hence the use of double trailers B doubles etc. So don't be fooled. Our trucks are certainly not 'small'.
Only had one V8, 8V92N in my 66 KW it would run with my friends 12V71N . BUT!!! 3.8MPG and flange mounted alternator. I carried a spare alt. had to change my alternator on Snoqualme pass at night once. That 66 K wobbler got lot of "What's under that hood" comments. "JUST AN UNRELIABLE 92 DETRIOT" first and last V8 and first and last Detroit!
V8 dropped from favor when the US government decided not to go through with the increase in truck weights that was planned, and held our trucks at 80,000 lbs, as the extra power was deemed unnecessary for 90% of trucks in North America. Scania did try to break into the US market directly after, but found that their trucks were to heavy for our ridiculously low weights, and they couldn't get enough dealers to partner with. Volvo and Mercedes had the same issues, so they both bought US brands instead. Comparing the tech in Europe, they are across the board more fuel efficient, with the V8 engines being among the best in the world, as they are the same displacement as our biggest engines, but are moving more weight while burning the same or less fuel. They are also far more reliable than our engines
V shaped engine consume same or lesser fuel compared to inline engine of same displacement?😂
The government had to restrict weight because the railroads would fold if truck weight was increased.
@@er.m.s8930 , a 16L engine is a 16L engine, doesn't matter if it is an I6, V8, I8, V10, that just means smaller bore diameter. If the engine is producing more power for the same displacement, then it is in fact more fuel efficient.
As a 30yr veteran heavy truck mechanic, I can attest that 6cyl engine is less maintenance only it aspect of fewer internal parts come overhaul time. However the larger US V8s that were produced were generally more reliable and had longer service intervals due to less stress put on powerplant. Simple as this:(we live in a disposable sciocty and don't want shit to last). Obama killed the manufacturer of vehicles that used to have longevity and were built to last. D.E.F. is a joke & F-ing no one else uses the power robbing shit. Just us stupid Americans who believe that we should give up everything, when all 3rd world countries don't do squat for the environment.

A longer crank throw turns into a mechanical disadvantage during the intake, compression and exhaust strokes so no.
I still run some of the older 2 stroke Detroit’s in a few of my trucks up to the 12-92 also have Mack’s with the V8 along with the Cat 3408 in some of the tractors . When It comes to emissions I can care less Humans will wipe our selves out long before the earth will become inhabitable . I do heavy haul the newer engines and few of the tractors can do the job for my fleet plus no electronics and regeneration to give problems my new ones seem to give a lot of trouble in that system plus it’s a rolling bomb to me unsafe you seldom saw a fire in a truck crash now about every one burns !
So, there are 6 American semi-truck manufacturers? Mack, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, International and........ ?
..and Ford I think
Western Star ! But there are probably more
@@dimitrispaterakes3633 Ford makes pick up trucks even large pick up trucks but not semi-trucks

Inline engine easy to repair.. and easy to timing the camshaft..
Two main factors: inline engine cheaper to build. Larger cylinders are more fuel efficient due to lower heat loss. Thus you always use as few cylinders as possible while keeping vibration and peak impulse torque within usable limits. Which is why cars are now using 3 cylinder engines in small displacements. Cheaper, more fuel efficient. That's it, game over.
This could be re done into a really good video with the help of some professional engine experts contributions, serious professional script writers, and an accomplished presenter.
Thanks 👍
apart from fuel consumption of straight 6 versus a v8, there is a big difference, the volov750 is at 5 liters + and the scania v8 is at 3.8-4 liters
I6 has 7 main bearings, V8 has only 5. This improves longevity.
7:02 because you can't have more than 5 mains in a V8 they will run 1,000,000 miles no problem. Have a nice day
V8’s are the best but I6’s are also good.
Its not lbs PER foot. Its pound foot or foot pound. They're multiplied not divided
Detroit Diesel also produced V6 and V12 engines.
Detroit made everything from 1cyl all the way to 24cyl but the most common were the 4-12 cyl models
Yeah but the Cummins 903 was a quiet running unit

The V-8 was popular? Since when?

So sorry about your bad luck!!
The video is about heavy truck engines.
I own and operate a v8 scania longline
No company makes the quality of CATERPILLAR or have they changed too?
**scania quietly chuckles**
How the hell do you miss the most common ones 8v71 and 8v92 Detroit diesel? And probably the biggest reason the V configuration was dropped was many of them sucked, they broke alot. 864 Mack put people out of business. %%% cummins was another loser. They got a bad reputation early on
High torque low rpm is far more efficient, and we have longer distances
The longer-stroke - larger displacement - higher torque argument is nonsense. An engine can be built with any stroke and cylinder displacement with any number of cylinders. The displacement determines the possible torque output.
For the same total displacement larger cylinders mean fewer cylinders, so the engine is simpler, but larger cylinders also mean lower practical operating speeds and thus lower maximum power (with the same maximum torque).
For heavy truck applications displacements over 1 litre per cylinder and up to 3 litres per cylinder are practical for a modern turbodiesel. That means that if you need 15 litres, you can use five to 15 cylinders, or in practical terms 6 to 12 cylinders. There's no reason to use more cylinders than you need, so six it is, and 8 is unnecessary.
Because of the geometry stroke is limited in a v8 unless it’s made flat ( boxer) ?
@goforitrazz there's no geometric limit regarding stroke. It is larger bore which causes conflict between the banks in the vee format, forcing the use of a taller deck. A vee engine can get too wide, and large truck V8s can hang over the frame rails on both sides.
Why do people try and change foot pounds to pounds foot? It doesn't even sound right.

Why we don't see v6?
I m to see a V6 Detroit and Cummins
i will vibrate to much you can't balance a v6 diesel
@@realtruth172 V6 diesels exist in smaller trucks, SUV's and family cars to save space. So it's not that bad. But an inline 6 is indeed better where space and a little more weight doesn't matter so much.
@@realtruth172being a diesel doesn't matter to balance.
An inline-6 is better-balanced than a V6, and narrower so it packages better between the frame rails of a truck. It's longer and heavier than a V6 of the same displacement, but those are manageable in a truck.
There have been heavy truck V6 engines, but they are no longer in production. The Mercedes Actros had one of the most recent.
Imagine putting a Cummins X15 in a Ford 350 those tires will be erased in first gear
Only part of this video right but why U.S stopped using V8 because of packaging. Here in U.S we use Conv trucks (hoods) and using inline 6 fits better. Europe use cabovers V8 fits better and they do use inline 6 too. We need power too we have factory engines with 600. 605, 625 hp with torq highest torq rating at 2050 ft. Also here in U.S we have long distance with big roads with agv speed of 65 mph. Europe doesn't even have big interstate system like we do here in U.S.too. Europe also don't use long 53 ft trailers either like we do here in U.S. Most roads in Europe are small and cab over work great their. When Paccar bought Europe version of MX13 here for testing it won't pull 80k truck or high speed on OUR interstate. Needed major software change and some hardware changes.
The size of the US and Europe is no reference , both continents are flat and have mountains. The US biggest engines around the 660 HP(newest Cummins) European factory engines Scania 770 HP torque 3700NM and Volvo 750 HP Even Europe have longtrains and a good interstate as well.
@@crocket1971 There is hugh differance we have bigger roads. and most of Uk, Europe and small tight roads.

@brianb-p6586 yes but much larger bore. For years we ran 15 liter, and 16 liter Cats here and the difference was night and day. I'd like to see if Cummins would produce a 16 liter inline 6 for trucks
The inline 6 also uses fewer parts - one cylinder head instead of 2. It is a simpler engine design that is cheaper to produce, and cheaper and easier to maintain. As mentioned, it produces high torque at low rpm, which is perfect for heavy truck applications. IMHO, a superior design!
Gmc 350 v8..
I6 has Low cost product and maintenance also low cost fuel.
Why not make a 12 liter four cylinders less parts lighter
Engine speed would probably be too limited, and torque delivery from only four cylinders is not smooth enough.

With all the smart people out there why aren't we making these vehicles run on hydrogen it doesn't need diesel to make power it needs a fuel that's easily burned in hydrogen easily switch it over to a crank trigger and uses spark plugs in fire at off even though it's a two-cycle it doesn't matter because we can feed the fuel in through the intake inlet
Hydrogen will never be used for a low-revving, high-torque producing engine. Slow burn beats a quick pop.
H2 liquid/gas is not easy to contain.
Hydrocarbon combustion will be the safest, most reliable, and inexpensive form of automotive mechanical power until we advance past the internal combustion engine.
Oh.. and by the way..
Carbon dioxide is less than a fraction of one percent of our atomsphere. "Climate change" is a political agenda to geographically lock people down. Prisoner propaganda.

@@mementomori8791 why can't have fun at work?
All is about money and stupid regulations (which are also source of money). Look how beatiful and free the world could be if money wouldn't be everyone's god.
Longer stroke correlates to quicker piston/bore damage.
"Pounds per foot" is something completely different from "foot pounds" (the standard SAE unit of measurement for torque).
This video smacks of the AI-generated garbage that's all over YT right now.
Susan, her ilk, and the algos are doing their part to make sure we all have brain rot.
Political that’s all it is and always will be.
Too much wrong here to even begin to list....
All I know is that European trucks are super slow compared to American trucks. In the U.S. trucks always run between 70 and 80Mph. In Europe they are limited to just 55 Mph. And often really slow 35 Mph speeds.
Trucks in the U.S. generally are pushed much harder having to haul loads at greater speeds and over vast distances bigger than that in the EU. Not to mention trucks in the U.S. have to typically run through larger varieties of climates.
6cyl engine's also develop torque at lower rpm's compared to V8 diesels typically. So while a V8 diesel can produce more torque in theory, it doesn't develop the torque where it's needed most to get the load going.
For heavy haul applications the 6 cylinder diesels just proved to be a better design.
The U.S. also has more strict diesel emission standards in general compared to the EU. Again why Catapiller gave up trying to meet them and why VW had to buy back diesel cars from America's where as those same cars with the same engines were still legal in the EU.
I wonder if Scania will ever come back to the states again, especially since they now have a conventional truck model? It really sucks that the Europeans are out performing American trucks. We are supposed to be more superior in my opinion! Then out government like to just ruin everything. If CAT was still making highway motors, I'm sure by now we'd have an inline 6 that would eat those Scanias up. Lmao!
Cause v-8s don't last as long
Bloody give me an inline 8 then if the inline is so easy.
Wrong,Scania still has a V8
Just saying
And electric trucks are to heavy no infra structure same as the trucks that run Hydrogen,so for now we are safe and we can run our diesel engines
Is scania a US manufacturer .. i dont Think so 😉
@@TruckTropia, technically, yes, they have a small facility assembling engines in Houston, TX area, and are now the owners of International, as well as being the producer of the new International engine.
Reason is most US truck companies are owned by European truck manufacturers .
Europe scania still have v8’s
@@TruckTropia When did I mention Scania. Unless you want to know they owned by SAAB Aerospace. As SAAB automobile devision is none existence now as the first generation 9/3 and 9/5 were a Subaru Impreza estate shell and the later 9/3 and 9/5 were a Vauxhall Vectra shell plus the 1.9 diesel engine is a Vauxhall engine... The 2.3 petrol is SAAB's own engine and a pig when they go wrong as you can't get any new parts for them.. As they are obsolete...
Oh I'm more into classic Ford's though 😂😂😂. Anything you want to know about Ford Cortina's they my poison.
Especially 1.6 and 2.0 Pinto engine's.
@@tonysilliker5977 the point was that European ownership is not the reason for ending V8 truck engines, because Scania is European and still has V8 engines.
International and Scania are both parts of Traton, so International could use Scania's V8 engines if they thought there was a market for them in the USA... yes, V8's for America from Europe.
Biggest cost running a truck is fuel over its lifetime, V8's use more fuel than inline 6's, its that simple
