We've been using push axles in the UK for decades. You lot are way behind the times . In terms of the I shift gearbox. We had those in the Volvo trucks back in the early 2000s. Plus discs brakes as well .
You are correct Keegan - Jim is indeed from Canada... southern Ontario to be exact. Good ear. And no, Canadians DO NOT say a-boot! I personally do tend to say "eh" a fair bit, but I strongly object to any suggestion that Canadians in general pronounce "about" as "a-boot"! : )
Christopher Hallinan We are limited 80,000 pounds in the U.S. with 5 axles. The legal limit for axles are 14,000 for steer, 20k for single, 34k for tandem.
Thx for the thumb going in the preferred dirction Alejandro - much appreciated. If you haven't already, please do subscribe to our channel as we have new videos coming out on a fairly regular basis. And we have a new Ultimate Test Drive we're editing in the process of editing! It's something from Kenworth - that's all I can say! : )
I drive a single axle VNR (Volvo no research) what a piece of junk. The vada system in here is a complete joke and there are many small things on the truck that are bad design. Heater always going to hot or to cold, driver door likes to come back and hit you when you open it etc. Does Volvo test drive these?
im not much a volvo person, but i love the looks on that truck

Can't wait to see you guys review the new Volvo VNL 760. That should be entertaining :)
Jim, are you from Minnesota or Canada? Just curious, because I could've sworn I heard some elongated "O"s in there. 😃👍

80 Tons with a double in Mexico.

We should have this thing in Europe!
Beun007, your bloody joking? This wouldn't last 5 minutes.
Too long for europe.
thats a myth, if 25 meters trucks are running across europe, what is the trouble of have a truck 1,5 meter longer than usuals??
what is fuel consumption difference between D11 and D13 on Ishift transmissions on light loads?
can we get these in England
anything on the new VNL 760?
I'm hoping we're going to be doing an UTD on the 760 later this year. Keep ya posted. Thx for asking.
how soon before they go on sale?
Hey Chris - I'll find out and get back to you.
