This truck is designed not by a trucker. May I also say a small cubby for an electric scooter might be interesting🤔
All Trucks more expensive but the loads paid cheaper !
U ain't lying about that
@Muthatruckernews1 I’m here in DFW area ( Asian trucking from Thailand 🇹🇭) nice to talk to u Alex..been your FC since u r with your International truck till now.)
On point 👉
drivers just don't realize what's coming.
Let me clue you in...
Every input you make as a driver is recorded and documented in the hopes of teaching the autonomous trucks to work without you. Daimler been doing that for years.
Everything is Bluetooth. So the DOT will eventually be able to log into your truck as you drive and verify your log, bols and even your driving history.
Companies will monitor everything you do even more then now. Hard braking, hard cornering, hard acceleration, etc.
And just wait till you see the shop bills for parts, labor and diag time.
Its easier and easier to drive so more rookie drivers can join the industry.
But...
I bet its nice to ride in and its comfortable and quiet.
Maybe you’re just putting a little to much thought into it. Semi trucks have changed and will continue to change just like everything else in the world. It’s call progress and modernization. Semi trucks were not going to be the 1 and only thing in the world that doesn’t change because some don’t like it. Quit looking for deep meanings and learn to to adapt to changes because the world honestly doesn’t care if you don’t. You’ll have your job as a professional driver for quite some time and possibly the rest of your life.
@@Daniel-oy8ic Are you a professional driver?
@@Daniel-oy8ic Progress at the expense of Quality of Life for the working class. Yippee! Can't wait to make half the wages I do now because the truck does half the work! But I'm sure the powers that be will offset this by reducing the cost of living and lowering my taxes, right? ...Right? I mean, they've done such a great job of that so far with the massive increase in automation. 😊
@@georgegeorgepht weirder shit has happened. czcams.com/video/JJdd8zYVPJw/video.htmlfeature=shared
Companies already monitor all aspects of driving. Drivers are held responsible for their driving habits. Punished for any company imposed bad driving habits.
They have inward facing cameras. That monitors their face. Not looking at the road, not looking at the mirrors. Yawning, etc.
They also have realtime access to all systems on that are attached to the computer system. Every manufacturer offers realtime monitoring. Most trucking companies do not participate. Due to the cost.
Of course there is also realtime tracking. Either via the truck computer system, ELD, or both.
All that has been around for many years. Nothing new.
They government would love to have realtime access to ELD logs. The only hindrance, the money to build the facilities, and server system, to do so. It will eventually be that way. Only a matter of money & time.
Many of the brokers require an ELD that allows them to track the loads. Or, installing an app on a phone or tablet.
None of this is new. The only step left. Is FMCSA having realtime access to the ELD logs.
Wait until every screen starts dying pixel by pixel and they want $3000 for them to replace.
I’ll sell it once the warranty goes out
Almost made yourself look like a truck driver backing up. 😂
🤣😂🤣😂
You forgot to show the compartment for your flip flops
He don’t wear flip flops he’s a real trucker
@@kwilliams3161Yeah but what about the others that do it though. They need a place to store them 😆.
@@malikcutchin thank you!
Driver needs bigger refrigerator than that
Ishift been smooth for 10 years 😂😂😂😂
I have a question about the auto brake set.
Can they be over ridden? No way I want my trailer brakes set in freezing temperatures.
@@sherrimcavoy8342 it's the acc part our truck ls do it I drive with cruise on and pedal to the floor then it can't trip the brakes
@@yesidriveyou misunderstood his question….he was thinking in freezing temperatures you only set parking brake of truck but leave trailer brakes out so they don’t get locked up and to answer his question yes you can override trailer brakes when you are parked
I started driving in 1999 begin with a Volvo I always love them and shout out to Volvo on the Excellent improvements, you guys can Sponsor me Anytime
I'm sorry I drive a 2024 Volvo 860 and I still think the interior on the older models is better and why can't we have a visor still it looks like a very nice truck not sure of all the technology in it because we all know it's going to fail at some point and it's going to cost a lot of money to repair great video
I don't want to ever hear nothing about 'distracted driving'
That 860 looks nice, but the side monitor i cant trust them. I have been traumatized with technology breaking very often
Those mirrors are gonna be recording you for sure
They look wierd I like the conventional
Big companies will definitely find a way to get that speed gov to shut down truck if going flow of traffic instead of speed limit 😂
I want them too. Cars are looking for payday. I had a car in Wisconsin hide in my rear in my blind spot. Then when I was switching lanes he drove up along side and tried to make it look like I ran over him. Camera will slow down insurance rates and protect drivers from the idiot drivers.
They’ll send the video to the insurance companies and then our rates will rise.
I have these mirrors on my 24 Kenworth t680 they not bad when you get use to them I can see better in bad weather with the night vision but we are a small company
Those hood latch releases on the previous model are terrible. A lot of them broke, forcing you to disengage the latch by hand, on both sides. Hope they fixed that.
I’m not much of a Volvo fan, but these trucks have come a long way, I’ll give them that credit.
Not my cup of coffee will keep my 99 W900
Truck is about 200k you’ll never pay it off with today rates 😢
Dash looks like a Mack anthem
It’s basically the same company since Anthem shares almost 70% of their parts
That's because the Volvo dash is junk. Easy to fall apart after many miles 😔
Thank you so much I’m truly grateful. Could you please reach out to Kenworth, Freightliner and Peterbilt and ask if they would let you drive the future next newest Truck coming soon to the market Sir? Thank you I’m truly grateful for your CZcams channel, thank you so much Sir. 👍👍
The new parking brake system concerns me
Everything else about the new Volvo looks amazing.
What I'm curious is in the past Volvos would put Cummins engine in them. Will they do that eith their new Volvos?
Volvo engine's are better than Cummins and a lot smoother.
Yes they will
@@francomtz7115 Volvo engine is smooth like DD15 and Paccar MX13 but like all engines will need proper timely maintenance to avoid downtime
@@gabrielf4448 That's exciting
Volvo has been using that style parking brake in their euro FH trucks for over 10 years now I think.
We greatly appreciate this video Alex thank you
no problem! Just wanted to give you as much information as possible without being bias.
I appreciate you Alex! Thank you for this.
My pleasure!
Well they are making them so any idiot can drive them so guess what.
You should have asked WHY? they made it 3 inches shorter than the previous design. It was 77 inches but now 74.
they made dining table seats a lot smaller than the previous design
they made the fridge waaaay smaller than the previous design
they made the dining table a lot smaller than the previous design
they made the huge storage compartments in sleeper area replaced with smaller ones.
they totally remove the big storages above the driver and passenger side.
I am not saying anything for the cockpit, it looks good but why you made those changes above??
Did these changes reduce the production cost over all?🤔hmm?
Anyone who drives VOLVO 860 will understand my comment…
Good points 👍
Yes I was curious about that as well if anything Volvo should have made a 86-in sleep and as of right now I don't know how I feel about a smaller sleeper I have a 2019 Volvo to 77 in sleeper.
@@movingman07I have a 2016 and after I saw this video I put my baby I the shop for new injectors. I'm just going to keep her, she's paid for. New always looks good but look at things that may rattle and break. That Volvo looks good but how long before those panels on the side start breaking. When I bought my 2016 780 I had to fix the side panels. They lasted 3months.
They did the truck like the food industry. Smaller packages for more money.
Might time to loose some weight?
How motoring public going to see driver if they can’t see him on the mirrors?
Nice tour. That guy couldn’t sell me on anything. Maybe the camera made him nervous. Wish they had a bumpy road section on their track to reflect REALITY. Lol
This is The Best reviews on new VNL
Word of advice. Or you could say the oracle is talking. Do not buy anything anywhere with excessive technology. You will regret it.
Made that truck into an iPhone hahaha. First raggedy Hub Group container that truck hooks up to those digital mirrors are gone😂😂😂. The truck does look nice👍🏾
They will not tell you how f.up their products are. Bought recently 2 new(not new design) both had to go back in first week to M&K till 1500 miles. Turbo compounds are sucks. 10 days until they could put it in the shop. Guess what? They didn't fix them. The check engine came back after 2k miles. Improve quality first , clowns!
Auto park brake? N'aw. Plenty of weird situations where I need manual control to do the job. No bueno.
Absolutely true!
And it`s so faulty on european volvo trucks!
If wiring shortcuts while driving - good luck is all you have, instead of ANY braking system!
I really like the integration of so many features.
24v system is over-due.
Super Cap starter. Nice, but this is something you can do yourself to any truck for about $800. I wonder what a replacement is going to cost OEM...probably thousands...
A lot of bespoke stuff here, going to be very expensive to replace bespoke parts.
Factory cab cooler is interesting. Still going to put a generator on my truck though, probably an auxiliary cooler as well in case the factory one decides to go out. Again, part and repair cost are a concern, I can fix my own APU system for the most part using off the shelf parts. A bespoke part on a truck is usually hundreds or thousands for a part I can get for $100 bucks off the shelf.
Cost is going to be an issue, we can't have trucks going from 164k back in 2018 to over 200k in such a short time. That far outpaces inflation, though its easier to make a value comparison with the 860s vs a cascadia or some other type of fleet truck....
Just some thought droppings...
The brushed look of the metal accents looks phenomenal. That truck is gorgeous
I like it. Some interesting new features. A few sound great, others IDK. Thank you for the tour!
You bet!
Yes, I know all about this truck. I took a test drive in it because I was in the market to buy a truck. Volvos are very nice and comfortable trucks and I told him if it’s electric don’t even get it out diesel only I don’t know if it’s the same truck you drove but I drove one that had some weird designs on there and I liked it, it was just outside of my price range so I couldn’t get one at this time but it’s a beautiful truck inside and out if you can talk them into selling me one or giving me one old promote it for him. I told him that dude I’ll promoted all day long for.
Bro why you driving like a rookie 😂😂😂😂good job bro.
hahaha. they told me both hands on the wheel hahaha
These are for those mega carriers. Advertised as “for no experience drivers who don’t know how to drive!”. This new technology only creates bad drivers who will learn to rely on technology to drive.
Well said
And those millions of sensors will mess up really quickly specially winter time with the freezing temps,so much of electronics will empty your bank account really quickly when your warranty will expire😂😂
@@PapasParentalToolBox yea if you haven’t noticed technology has hit every industry imaginable and makes jobs easier and with less human intervention.
Bro I work at that plant and didn’t even know you came!
I am not a fan of Volvo, but they really outdid their self with this new truck. Its gorgeous. I am so sick of seeing the P4 cascadia they haven’t touched since 2018, 6 years of the same looking truck. Peterbilt refreshed their front end which I love, how many more years are we going to see of the cascadia? I have a 22 cascadia, but the design is growing on me. This new truck is wild
I li me the idea of the mirrors no more worrying if somebody is going to take off your mirrors because they went to cdl school for 2 days But definitely would be worried what all that mirror can see and hear while I’m not driving
Definitely doubling as a driver cam.
Im a big fan of the Volvo. Nice truck!
I love Volvo feel like you are driving a cadillac
I'm not a Volvo fan but that's impressive.
What happens when the mirror system goes down?
There are still standard mirrors on it
Nothing better then 379 CAT 6NZ my opinion
Some people like profits instead of throwing the money out of the stack . It's new times bud I'm out here for profits not look cool. Them days are over fuel isn't .80 cent a gallon anymore
@@user-qg3mb2kv8v newer truck with repair n emissions taking more money than CAT taking fuel
@@RR-nz2veyea some people just have trouble understanding the future
Yeah,yeah we know. Complete with the Harley Davidson stickers and the POW/Mia mudflats lol
In other words they used the TRW system. And this selective steering has been used on large diesel RVs for years.
Hate the mirrors.
Nice! Thanks for showing this awsome truck!
Volvo is always adding fancy new stuff without perfecting what they are already manufacturing! They drive nice and are comfortable to live in on the road, but I've had constant problems with the last two I've purchased.
379 Pete or W900L Manual still better than that office cubicle on wheels.
Everyone mentions the mirrors like they’re the only option. You can see later in the video the other trucks in the showroom don’t have the monitor mirrors.
I'm pretty sure Volvo knows what they are doing.
All they do is make the truck very very very expensive and hard to repair, to milk owners dry!
As a Volvo owner forgot to mention I was thinking what is that windshield replacement going to cost every 6 months usually its needed lol.
TOO much technology. i would love to drive a decent old T800 with a caterpillar and an 18 manual. i haul milk, and i think that was the best milk hauling truck ever built. it was absolutely perfect for that application.... a day cab
As somebody whos running a 23 vnl860 right now... I hope they got rid of that annoying stupid right blinker honk when a car is on the side of your cab. I literally cant use my right turn signal appropriately because of that. Not to mention it makes everyone around me think something is wrong anytime it goes off and freaks them out. Its anything but a safe.
Side not...one of my complaints with the current vnl860 is the cabinet layout. This new one is soo much better laid out, very freightliner style. Which is one of the things i like about the Cascadias.
I was thinking after this volvo i have now that i would switch to the Cascadia. Now im not so sure.
I love Volvo already. But this truck is actually 🔥🔥🔥. I might get one 😂.
Yeah they all automatic. Ewww. Hate that pushing autos. In the city I can understand or short drives. But on long heavy hauls. Eaton fuller 10/13/18 speeds are still king imo.
Hate to say it. As more tech with more auto transmission, more sensor, DEF/emissions control, more digital logs. Some truckers will stay continue to stay with older trucks. It’s also going cost more to fix and repair these more digital trucks. And chances are most them won’t last 1 million miles. Even with proper maintenance. Nothing wrong with better safety features. But not when comes at reliability.
They’re excellent trucks is most every category. Only downside is cost. I believe $20-25K more than a similar Cascadea. Comfortable ride and cabin
Why don't any brands understand many drivers live full time or months at a time in these trucks and design the interior with that in mind, double the storage capacity. There is so much wasted space that could be used. Put better stereo systems as well. The rear speakers in my 22 Freightliner are so bad, why even put them In?
I agree with having better speakers. Truck manufacturers really need to work with audio companies to offer high end audio setups as an optional feature. Maybe include better sound insulation for improved quality.
No thanks, i like my old trucks.
Digital mirrors, how does it work in rain, snow, extreme heat?
What if the screen glitches, short circuits, or the camera fails?
No push air breaks seems like a hazard to me if the electronics fail, is there a fail safe?
The suspension is quite nice when you're constantly dropping and hooking, when the trailer landing gear was lowered too much.
I can't speak for the auto brakes but they are made by Bendix, which make a lot of truck automation products as you know like the kind spot monitor system , so I'd say let your their other products determine your opinion, I'd assume it's not a completely park by wire set up, I'm sure while the wheels are spinning above 1mph it won't allow itself to be locked the same way if it determined a failure in the air or electronics it won't let you pop the brakes, although I can say one of my favorite about them is ths feature to set the brakes if you forget to and then proceed to open the door and step out.
On the other hand I've had experience with the mirror eye system and it's pretty great, it's has a heater on the mirror for rain and snow, and works really well at doing so, you no longer have that problem where your mirror is blocked up by rain because the top of the camera has a big of a lip to it and sorta like a rain x film to prevent its view being blocked. As far as over heating, well it is outside mostly, so as your drive it's naturally gonna stay cooler , sure they also have some form of heat sink to keep the system cool. The perk from what I've been told though is that they are usually warranted through their life time with a promise of 24-48 hour service and maintenance response for repairs, usually the only problems reported have been software related but they are connected to a network and can usually send software right to the camera from their office to fix or diagnose any problems.
I'm no expert on these things so obviously take what I say more as overheard opinion rather then 100% fact and conclude how you must about it.
@AHomeInTrucking sounds good, but one thing, they send software to the camera from their office, there is a privacy contract for those cameras?
For my 24 Kenworth t680 any update we have to go to dealer but everything he said is correct we have two in our fleet and the one I have has no problems but the other had camera issues kept going out to the point where he was driving blind but also we don’t have regular mirrors either so he didn’t like the new mirrors
Thank you for the video. Love it!
Would love to see a video of the new International LT with the new S13 scannia engine and the new T14 automated manual transmission.
This is THE first video I have ever seen with the CMS being used by a driver. No other channel has done this. I finally have a lot of questions answered. We'll done, Mutha Trucker.
Delete the emissions system, and this is one comfortable truck to drive
A lot of this technology isn't new. It's just new to the U.S. This technology has been in Europe for years.
I don't care who makes the truck EVs are great for city driving only and same thing for Auto trans. We will be stuck with Diesel for many yrs to come but get rid of DEF it chokes the motors down not counting the expensive repairs and down time I am personally looking forward for Hydrogen Toyota development a 485 HP engine for the Supra with promising results the just need more time to get the NOX emissions down so when paired with new tech like this VNL the future looks promising for us we are no where close to being obsolete as drivers .
Vulva is the flip flopper fleet special for the automatic restricted, cheap rate freight hauling foreigners...
Thank you for that info on the new Volvos this has to be the best video i have watched. I have a 2013 Volvo VNL 670 always have been a Peterbilt fan until I purchased a Volvo I have 1260000 miles on my d13 never anything but overheads and turbo. I had been thinking maybe a new Peterbilt this time until I seen this video it was a game changer it will most likely be another Volvo next time love the mirror cameras nice ideal think I would like them.
Truly remarkable truck. Gorgeous!
My biggest concern is the fact that Volvo's parent company is Chinese, and Volvos are already know as disposable.
nice space inside that 74 sleeper
The refrigerator is smaller, but that top bunk feature is nice
All safety directors...your fired! Why? Using an electronic device while driving. What? Pushing the button to change camera view.
I might be an old-school outlaw of a truck driver, but I do appreciate a good truck regardless of make. The only downfall with Volvo is the lack of knowledgeable mechanics to work on them. Honestly, anytime if I have a question on a Volvo I’ll reach out to that company in Ohio Because they are very noticeable on Volvos The only other downfall, which is just with Volvo it’s with all trucks. They should offer a bigger full size and queen size. A lot of us bring our wives with us maybe a little less faring, but a bigger sleeper to accommodate the queen size on the bottom there was a Peterbilt model many years ago that did have one of course you lost room everywhere else, but that was in late 80s and early 90s
I know a lot of companies won't buy it it's too expensive plus the parts are outrageous
American truck drivers aren't ready for this tech. They just want "long hoods with 18 speeds "real trucker" trucks...
Wow, maybe I should have waited 😂. But on the other side, those new features sounds expensive to repair.
It's very disappointing to see that Volvo no longer have those beautiful steps to get on top of the frame 😢 especially if you hauling flatbed or step deck that other trucks looking stupid steps are very uncomfortable and unsafe
The steering engineer looks like Seth Rogen🤣 kinda sounds like him too.
All new Volvo are affected by improperly working crankcase ventilation system which is allowing small amount of gases to pass inside the cabin
Like these Volvo 2024🎉
I hope they’ll offer a 6x2 with a liftable axle for better economy. If I own one of these, I want it setup for the ultimate efficiency.
Invasive Headlights
Good amenities looks comfortable
How come Ive never seen one on the road yet?
cause it's brand new
I really like that Volvo. The major problem with logos is that when they break you have to fix that module meaning the whole thing needs to be fixed that's what makes them more expensive. They have some really good features the bed is really nice adjusting incline should have asked do they actually do an incline on the legs and raise up also should have asked it would have been really nice. And I see you're using the music again same music it's I'm glad my headache is gone
Cool looking truck. If I knew you were going to be at Dublin I'd of stopped in and seen you 😎
Next time!
I own a vnl860 and I will never buy another Volvo again. It’s not the truck, it’s Volvo’s service network. They are lousy. It’s about trying to sell parts over actually fixing your truck. The body work is terrible.
It's so funny to see all you american truckers complaining so much over all the "new" technology in modern trucks when we in Europe have been driving with this for decades now. I have been driving Volvo trucks here in sweden for many, many years now, and it's a really nice machine, and the new American Volvo looks amazing to me. I wish I could test on
thanks for the tour. for me this is not my cup of tea. i think i will stick to my old R model Mack
How I see , Volvo put some technology from European Vlovlo FH to Volvo VNL .
Thank you for Video
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
No doubt best drive, but too many sensors,it’s one sensitive truck, for anything this truck will derate,which sucks out in the road
More electric parts, more problems. Many features came from Europe. I drove European cars, and American. And that’s why I’ll choose glider with no DEF and stupid electronics
I'm sorry but 40 yrs of driving, and the inexperienced and impatient drivers these companies are hiring are embarrassing us and the industry. Manufacturers need to make these trucks more difficult to drive so it will keep the pros on the road. Here's a test,if a 10 yr old that knows nothing about a truck can jump in and drive it, than the Manufacturers have taken it to fare.
The Chassis Rear Suspension Set Up looks like the Same Suspension Used on Volvo's FM/FMX/FH AND FH16 COEs Sold to the Rest of the World.
Personally; I'd rather Own and Operate Ether an FH or FH16 Powered with Volvo's New 17.1L I-6 780BHP/3800N•m Diesel with the 14spd I-Shift 6X4 with Hub Reduction Drive Axles, Independent Steering Axle, XXL True Globetrotter Sleeper.
Nothing Cobbled Stateside can Even Compare. 🤔😎
Just don't park in a truckstop.
You lose the under the bunk storage?
I hate the safety features (Automatic breaking, adaptive cruise control and lanekeep assist) they basically make the fkn truck semi-autonomous, what's the point of being a "Professional Driver" with a CDL that knows when and were to switch lanes, stop, accelerate and shift if the thing is going to try to force the driver how to operate it...
Nothing beats a conventional mirror. Other than that. Love the new Volvo
