• The UK's biggest and only sleeper cab test is back. Our testers assess what truck offers the most when it comes to some R&R. We spend the night in:
Daf XF, MAN TGX, Volvo FH16, Renault T, Iveco Stralis, Mercedes Actros, Scania R730
- Read the full test in Commercial Motor magazine 07/01/16
I haven't been surprised. Since the launch of new ranges, Renault Trucks continues to make surprises. Well done! After being TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2015, once more it is the champion for the comfort within the cab. Very good news for the truckers! But for the ones who have already chosen RT or the ones who will choose in the new future. Proud to contributing to the development of the brand in Turkey!
MAN is my favorite, but I do enjoy the extra safety lock and vacuum cleaner in the DAF
Buy I'd still prefer the size of American sleepers with more bells and whistles than what the Europeans out in their rigs.
I enjoy the huge MAN windshield and xxl can space
lol, and one more thing. The MAN is the most attractive European truck in my opinion, with the Volvo then the DAF following right behind.
Man bed is a back killer...i driver One 510hp tgx...the Heath coming from the frigo is annoyning...
The most beautiful and aerodinamic truck is the Volvo. The Mercedes is so luxory inside. The Man is practic. The Renault has got a lot of 'shelfs' and 'boards' inside the cab. The Scania is nice not just from outside, it's beauty inside aswell. The Daf is very-very practic, i think more than the Man. ! The MAN is good aswell!!
Oh, forgot the Iveco. It's good bc it's got a lot of extras :D
Lóri Csegzi the Mercedes interior color is horrible.
Lóri Csegzi 1414
I prefer Volvo as the handling, cabin space and the design.
Józef Papkin Dont sat that ITS true.
The way you guys maximize interior space in those trucks is awesome. I like the idea of being able to control everything from the sleeper and that truck with the extra security door lock is pretty nice. I like our longer wheelbase trucks over here in the US but I would kill for one of those European trucks over here.
Man,Daf,Scania and Iveco are the best!
My favourite truck is definetly the volvo fh16 750
MAN is the best truck at last 7-8 years,
the most reliable truck, with minimal maintenance costs!
Shon 1980 yes
Europeans always choose Scania, Volvo , Man, while all the other countries mostly choose the DAF
continents*
in Australia we both have American and European trucks. i have to say the M.A.N sleeper bunk is pretty good and thats the middle sized cab
Joe Scania Man Australia wins the pissing contest when it comes to trucks, us Europeans and the yanks are pissing in the wind! and the Aussies still have a sense of humour ✌
@@FartyMcbongos The Australian's don't make their own trucks, They import North American and European rigs and re-fit them with larger fuel tanks and refit air filters.
The best cab is DAF Super Space Cab!
Józef Papkin nope
Józef Papkin its like your driving a house 😬
ye
Renault T 😉
What a huge difference between European trucks and American trucks. I'm sure the tight spaces in the cities is a big part of it. I really like the refrigerators in some of your rigs because it lays flat and has more usable space. I have driven cab over's for many years and the layout is more user-friendly in the European trucks and most trucks in the states are a hood design but that comes with a cost of turning radius. I'm really curious about the ride in euro trucks because of the wheel base length. I enjoyed the video and Thanks for sharing.
The issue isn't the road but regulation. 16.5m (54ft) for the whole truck, 13.6m (45ft) for the trailer (on the other hand, they're heavier at 40T instead of 36T in the US). So it's the largest tractor they're allowed to use with those trailers.
The turning radius is excellent at least. But otherwise, it's only a downside (bad aero, less comfortable, harder to maintain, more blind spots...)
The driving is good, if the wheelbase is short, they're only allowed to drive 90kph (56mph) and the technologies compensate.
The Volvo for example has an independent front air suspension with an anti-roll bar, 4 bags rear suspension, and is just well tuned. Then you add the cab air suspension and seat air suspension and it's good.
They also have large tires (2*315 drive, 385 front and trailer) and air disc brake all around. So they're good on that part.
The engine are usually a bit better than in the US. The Volvo has up to 750hp, the Scania a V8 with up to 730hp. The Volvo is available with a dual clutch automatic.
daf xf is my favourite from experience (only tramped in volvo, Scania and DAF so far).
I'm on the top bunk of one now actually. The space is awesome, comfort is great and this top bunk would beat most lower ones!
Volvo, Mercedes, MAN, all good.
VOLVO & MERCEDES are the best
+Seif Hakimi no way daf is the best

Meus favoritos Actros e Volvo, são The Best!
Iveco N1
I seriously have pain in my back like everyday, until i get in this truck (look at my picture)
Amazing comfort seats, and the bed is the best bed i ever slept on
2nd scania thanks to the extended bed
When I was a truck driver I would be so tired I could fall asleep on a bed made out of nails.
Indian truck drivers in india sit on a chair full of nails during their daily commute driving the bus!
Scania as always the best build quality..but in this company the R series cab is showing its age..still an awesome truck though.
Yeah m8 you are right, You cn still see that it is a R serie without any signs of it. All Scania's look allmost the same.
Are you aware that there have been camouflaged new scania sightings since 2015, aparently it is suposed to come out anytime now...
No..I was not aware of that. Thanks for the heads up.
+Ham and Eggs MAN is better.
XfG Please tell us WHY..it's better..??
Never driven the TGX..so tell us why it's better.
I liked the F2000..that was a good truck in its day.
In my opnion Volvo and Mercedes are the best trucks in UK .

Marlon Pupo watch my vids it has volvo fh golbetrotter and mercadice actros
Mercedes, Volvo, Iveco are my three favourite

Everybody just says Renault is shit...Did u ever work with the Renault Range T? Because if u didn't pls dont talk shit about it. IT'S AN AWESOME TRUCK!
Too much euro truck simulator
:D
I agree - if you look carefully i think the Renault has the same basic cab as the Volvo..
f4ntom i love Renault magnum
Renult may be a good sleeper but its not good at driving, the scania and volvo are the best in my opinion
I drive a scania and it a shit bone rattler with terrible seat
David Lloyd Griffith what model scania do you drive and how old is it
It can also depends on your suspension........
+Jean-Paul “Jeanke” Werelds MAN is best
News for you, the chassis, engine and gearbox are all volvo so yeah it does drive good you probably didnt even drive the Renault
DAF and MAN are my favourites
I can understand DAF, but MAN? Have they come that far? I know of drivers that were given free choice in what brand of truck they wanted, and they chose DAF. Heavy and robust , with lots of traction. And they handle well.
favorites... this is opinion. this is democrat.
the best truck ever made in world history is MAN 520 HN
Truck is only one SCANIA all rest a commercial vehicles!!!!!!
I vote on Scania. I’m driving it IRL.
Joachim Petersson Scania is THE best
Anders Nygård ja det är bäst. Kör själv en Scania V8:a. Checka min insta ifall du vill. Sök på Eastswede.
Joachim Petersson du e jävligt nice!
Anders Nygård tack ska du ha, hehe.
Anders Nygård scania is "super" but volvo is "besser" 😂
No really, "besser" means "better" on german
iveco and Mercedes were real good imo
I am a daf fan but, hot damn the Mercedes and Volvo interiors look really comfy!
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
MAN is the Lion..Lion is a KING of the Road.with minimum maitenance costs, long reliable truck at last 6-7 years is the BEStT truck from TUV report!
MAN ist der beste LKW.
Die besten Motoren mit den besten ZTF Übertragungen
Beste Armaturenbrett
Shon 1980 its very very write
Shon 1980 scania
MAN and Mercedes-Benz! )
and Scania
+Ryan Kelly opinion is opinion.
1 - Scania
2 - Volvo
3 - MB
Mercedes is the best sleeping cab...even on the floor
My favorite is Mercedes, man, renault, volvo, daf, iveco and The scania
Iveco looks the best to me :) air conditioning unit is very important for good night sleep :)
Agree with you
Safety lock, hoover, microwave, fridge, TV, they should just combine all those. Then again, I only know these from a game so I can't talk.
All of these trucks are awesome with those comfortable features, but Volvo is my personal best.
My favourite truck Volvo,MAN, Mercedes
I'm a big fan of both iveco and scania
I came here because of truck simulator lol
Same
Me 2

Iveco used to offer a different configuration , I think it was called iveco office or something.
That was great. Now i would put my vote on Volvo or Daf.
MAN & SCANIA are my favourite

Iveco!
Scanias are amazing in terms of interior design on my opinion.
Ou est le king of the road SCANIA ?
Easy win, DAF/Volvo :)
what about FORD truck , next time include it. thanks
what volvo , actros , daf xf , scania is the biggest cabin for me .
t5
+Yusuf Kamil That can only be if you are really small, because the scania IS the smallest of those. I can't wait to see the new cabine though, it should arrive this year which means I will either get the last old one or one of the first new ones. (fingers crossed)
DAF ROCKS!
I have to say the Renault was really good I kept thinking about the premium but that's dead now
I have driven all euro 6 trucks and I must say DAF XF is one of the best truck in driving ..DAF interior and exterior is lot better then others trucks...
much admiration for you Euro trucking brother and sisters, but wow I couldn't go into a truck that small. My sleeper alone, minus the cab is 86 inches and includes a top bunk and a couch. That's not even a custom stretched job with a toliet and a shower. Good looking trucks you have over there. Seeing a cab over here is a rare treat.
You dont need 730-750 horsepower to carry 44 to 90 tons GVW
im pretty sure & certain that a 660-680 can handle GVW loads in Europe without a overkill 730-750
look at Australia the trucks there does perfectly fine with 75-200 ton GVW with just 650 Horepower
the only thing u only need 730-750 horsepower if your doing massive Heavyhaul loads with 325 + tons GVW
This would be hard decision...they are all good. personaly I don like Renault and iveco desin but I belive they are good trucks.
scania, volvo, mercedes and man is best for drive. but for sleep prefere volvo.
Scania,volvo amd daf are best
good video
Best one is the Scania cab
My dad has recently bought 6 man lorries efficient line.
The biggest advantage of a scania is the V8 engine, a lot of people buy a scania mostly because its the only truck available in europe with a V8, they then put a straight exhaust pipe on their truck and get eargasms every time they start the engine. Seriously though, search for it on youtube, it fucken amazing.
+DragonBorn Mercedes and MAN don't make V8's anymore???? Check your facts!!
+69drummerdude no
+69drummerdude no the dont
bullshit
69drummerdude Man perhaps if you specially order one but not mercedes. not that ive heard of atleast
Scania is The best Who sad that The Renault vas best
That's cool. Haven't seen a cab over truck since the late 80s. Nice to see some still on the road in other countries.
It’s the other way round, conventionals only exists in north and some parts of South America, the planets freight is solely moved by cab overs. You are fortunate your laws allow conventionals, for the greater space.
scania the king of the road
i driving Cascadia. i really will like driving one of it
Volvo, the New Scania and Mercedes over Renault, DaF and MAN anyday
When a truck looks better than your house 😭😭
How do you get out if it's on fire?
My favourite man truck is always best to me
cute bunch of trucks
That Volvo does look nice.
in desing Volvo mercedes scania the best
DAF😍😍 love
Volvo for me. Looks quality.
and saftey
daf is as Always a nice truck
Mercedes and Volvo trucks are the best
rotating seats, folding tables, eletric beds, tv, etc... these are only dreams, 1 out of 10000 company buy trucks with these extras, the rest is just the simple stock accessories ...
ha the dude who slept in the Iveco must have enjoyed it, it's a fucking piece of foam that ''Matress''
You guys supposed to. Best quality, reliable, comfortable and well made not just asleep lol
I wish they had these trucks in the U.S.
espaghetti99 I agree, they are more powerful and sophisticated than American trucks but the trucks we have in America have way nicer and bigger cabs.
KentB27 You could have trucks like the Scania Longline with your laws xD
Wiikendz Sadly we don’t have Scania trucks in the US
Kent some Scanias were sold in the late 80s and early 90s in US, they used to pop up on classifieds in the 90s. The space of the American trucks are fabulous, but drive refinement behind European trucks.
Makes in order MERCEDES, VOLVO, SCANIA, MAN, DAF, IVECO, RENAULT
DAF FTW!
Volvo,Daf,Benz,Man,and Scania are the best....
Why you didnt tested the actros giga space Version. Or the big space Version At least... That one here is the small stream space
Renault really is the very best in disigne interior and externe very Top.. in seconde Volvo the very best and DAf in third
I see all the truck are confortables
Scania and Man my babies...
Hi all...the single worst habit you should avoid as a driver is to watch TV or fiddle with your phone before getting some shut eye. Avoid at all costs...
VERY GOOD
scania is always the answer
Daniel Shaw way to go
volvo fh Queen of the trucks
1.RENAULT 2.SCANIA 3.DAF and maybe VOLVO, others are not to good enought, by the way good decision like!!!!!!!
Iveco Stralis....is actually a very good truck..!!
