Welcome Finland! Greetings from north circle.
when you go t finland you are going to geek out at the other euro trucks too.

It’s amazing to see how much American trucks are lacking when compared to European trucks. European trucks are built for comfort.
The DAF XG /XG+ are the european counterpart in the Paccar-Group, so it would be interesting to see Bruce' reaction to this. These are another step forward, compared to the Scania interior
@@passerati_ab agree with you, then Mercedes then Scania. Although Scania remains my favourite just looks awesome and menacing. Volvo definitely fit in there some where 😊
@michelod.i.y.5202 scania is is top dog in my opinion im a sucker for kenworth an pete but scania is just a whole different level above them. In my opinion they make the best trucks out there.
@@passerati_ab are all European trucks cabovers?
@@Will97675 Yes. Mercedes and Volvo are building longnose Trucks to (Volvo VN/VT/ VHD and Mercedes-Benz Zetros)
This channel is slowly becoming a Scania channel, and I'm here for it! Love the content lately.
Im here for same reason, waiting for Bruce's new Scania videos.
@@bottipoika Same here, subscribed today. Not a trucker fan, but becoming a Scania trucker fan after 3 videos now haha. Instant subscribe
I want see more of these trucks in America they deserve all the love they get. They are such amazing trucks packed full of great technology
im here for that to, Lol
found out about Bruce because of scania and hope we keep the Scania train goin xD
In Finland you should message trucking companies called Ristimaa and Salonen (From Kannus, Finland) they have really nice and well built Scanias. Also there is a truckshow in Finland every summer called 'Power Truck Show' where all the nicest semis and double trucks go to compete.
he should hi his peterbuilt over for the compitition as a joke :P
@@1ajs everyone would be excited to see it, just like we are to see the Scanias.
indeed @@scottcol23
Ristimaas scanias is insane!!!
Ristimaa is a good shout
Bruce, I absolutely love where this channel is going! As a huge fan of Scania, this was absolutely amazing to see! And the fact that they just happened to see your vids and decided to stop by and show their truck was just amazing! It was an absolute pleasure to meet Martin and he seems like a great guy! I'm a truck driver in Oregon and I would love to rock a scania here!
I cannot wait to see your face when you seen what Finland has in store for you!
Last time I drove a Scania unit was in late 70's and it was a skill to change gear (double clutching) without damaging a valve they had fitted
Hee cris if you like scania's you have to check out a DAF truck video... Original Dutch truck builder... Safe trip buddy 🤜🏻🤛🏻
As a lover of Scanias, I really like where this channel is going. Good stuff, keep it up!
They are amazing trucks
You do have shock absorbers on your 4 series cab suspension aswell, they sit inside of the airbags. Probably worn out 20 years ago 😂
Replace the shocks and bushes and it will stop swaying so much 👍
Fun fact: the Dutch military uses brand new Scania R500 now which are basically the same as this one, it's one hell of a badass truck.
Only one little screw-up there, with the heightened ride height and off-road tires they were over 4m high when bought. Which is a bit of a problem in the Netherlands 🙂
I ride an R450 autoloader and love every day working with it
I've seen them near Immingham docks in UK
@@MJatPL not a problem 😁 most dutch trucks are 4.05 4.07 high 😄 with the FN Herstal armoured cab the right height is correct 😆
@@MJatPL It's fixed though, they now stand at 399cm
@@MJatPL What a fail, lol.
My friend is down in Florida and was at a mud event and shared a picture of his Scania camper. I tagged you in his post to see it. And now he's on your video. How freaking cool is that!! I'm up here in Indiana just watching in the cold!!
Bruce, I got a feeling your jaw is gonna hit the floor when you get to see what Scania has their factories, especially the heavy duty segment.
Tededemtededem😅
CZcamsr IWrocker needs to visit you and check out your Scania. He's really into Scania trucks.
Definitely! Eventually he has to go to Sweden/Finland too, check out Volvo, Scania in Sweden and maybe something more heavy duty like Wärtsilä in Finland.
it's just unreal to see a Dutch plated truck in the US! Keep up the good work! 'op links en door gas met die zooi'
Lol, he's going to run into some issues with local police who never in their entire life witnessed European plates let alone Dutch ones! Awesome sight!
We gaan nog effe een keertje 💪🏻
How do you do it. I saw a car with cali plates in Paris once.
@@1marcelfilms You can temporarily import your vehicle to the US for one year no problem. After that ship it and get US insurance and you are good to go to drive for one year.
As a Swede , I was the one who gave you the “like” number 10.000 🥳
Welcome to us in Scandinavia , don’t forget to wear some warm clothes , it’s winter 🥶 here.
You got a subscriber from the town where Scania was born ; in Malmö , Sweden 🇸🇪😉
You may not catch this comment Bruce but the 'Trucker Cassie' channel is worth looking at. A female Swedish truck driver who does a lot of work with a dolly trailer in tow (imagine driving the RV Scania with a 45 foot trailer hooked up and you get the idea of how big that really is).
These dakar rally styled trucks has become increasingly popular, I have seen I few here in the states, usually germans. This one is the best I have seen.
I'm a truck driver in the US. And Have had my eyes on scania trucks for a number of years wishing I could own one and being utterly frustrated with the big rig industry here. Would be awesome if this would get enough attention that they'd move over to this side of the pond and we could buy them. Love the Scania videos 👍
Why can't you not import?
As I drive a Volvo FH 500 4/2023
ITS A BEAST. The comfort is insane. The tramission is even out of this world. Fuel economy is good. Hauling 40t-56t very often.. stik runs 4km/liter. Have no clue what that is in miles and gallons
If I could share fotos of it Il gladly do it.
I have driven both trucks, and nothing beats the American truck
@@kwabenabudulartey7003 somehow I find that odd
If you consider the safety in newer eurotrucks. The automatic shifts and especial the Adaptive autopilot. Is so amazing. Travel several hundred kilometres whit out touching anything. Better economy whit "I see" etc etc
A failure
I'm curious why us trucks are better?
@@TheGnue He thinks they're better because he's just straight up lying lol
@chubby9701, I totally agree with you American trucks is lagging at least 25 years behind, I'm from Denmark drove there for 20+years, and now driving here in America and the trucks sucks, we really need european trucks over here
Bruce, you should get a brand new Scania over there on vacation and ship it back in parts. then re assemble it in the US.
Wish we had these trucks here in the states.
Bruce I hope Scania can compete in the trucking industry in the future here in the USA🇺🇸
They could. But not on the price bc it isn’t worth building up a whole factory only for the US market and the taxes to import are top high on trucks.
The other thing is that Scania is owned by Volkswagen and they own also 100% of Navistar. So they would had to fight one of their own daughters in the US against the powerfull big competitors.
I mean they definitely could compete especially on short distance hauling and city areas bc of the small footprint. And on long distance they would fit on the frame size of a Peter nearly a house in the cabin with all the befenits of a Scania.
They can dominate you just need open minded people and a big shake up in your trucking industry right down to the trailers
@deeeeeeeench1209 they would easily take over i think. They offer alot an way ahead of any thing in the states. An they build a dam soild engine.
Yeah I'm sat in my scania right now they even cast the blocks in house @@LSDdreams808
@@deeeeeeeench1209Its not the trucking industry that's the problem it's the government.
Super great content. I am from Sweden and have millions of miles of experience in European trucks, mainly in Scania and Volvo. Please keep it going. 👍
As a fellow dutch man i hope you can make a visit to the DAF museum as DAF is our own national truck company. They used to make some pretty fast ones in the 80's used for desert rally's like Dakar.
Ti din tidin😜😂
Just a headsup.
Be prepared for cold weather in Finland and Sweden, around -20C as worst i believe aka -4F and lots of snow, my SAAB looks like a drivable snow drift 😂
@@jone8626not where I am. Full sunshine.
@@jone8626 Oh look, another one that doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate. Have five bad years and one good, snow-wise? Five bad ones are not mentioned and are forgotten instantly, then come the "oh they said 20 years ago blabla".
Random Dutch person dropping by in your comments, saw your earlier Scania videos, it's infectious to see how excited you guys are for these trucks, there's a real passion for what you guys do, love that. It almost makes me want to get a truck driving license myself (I'm not even a truck driver :) ).
Allemaal Nederlanders hier
Ja zeker
Yep... 😂
hahaha it's what we do...... zo rollen Nederlanders.
Hey i've seen that guy in Montréal Canada this summer, passed him on the highway and was stunned how much higher than my w900 this thing was, even on camera you can't tell, its SO BIG haha
I’ve always been a big fan of cab overs. This truck is bad ass. When you compare this truck to a Peterbilt, International or Freightliner, they are 100yrs apart. But compared to a Volvo truck, here in the states, of the same year, there’s not much difference. Volvos have the air lock on the tilt steering. Heated and cooled seats, keyless entry and remote start, the Volvo dynamic steering is next level safety. The Volvo FMX 8x8 is a very capable off-road class 8 truck. Everything you find in a Volvo car or SUV, the trucks have.
All this Scania content is being recommended to us European viewers! New sub!!
Thanks for this great content about Scania. I'm working at a German Scania service station for nearly 20 years and have seen a lot of different specific configurations like fire truck, low loader, garbage truck or even military vehicles. I even had the chance to have a ride on a Dutch army 8x8 ! Very excited for Your European roundtrip. Safe travels!
I saw this parked in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Sherman, TX a few nights ago. It is unlike anything on US roads. It makes an Earth Roamer look like a toy.
I love my Scania here in the UK. It always surprises me when people slag off the auto boxes until the actually use one. The Very thought of having a manual box on the M25 makes me shudder! 😳
Loving ya work sir. Keep it up....
Be sure to bring your winter gear to Finland, it is chilly.
Also if you have a change check the local Sisu trucks
Man, that Scania 'camper' is a real UNIT! 😄 When you were turning back into the road to the shop it legit sounded like a diesel locomotive, more than a truck!!😲 What a beauty! ...and all-wheel drive from what I gathered from the little clip of it in the sand. Wow, just wow!😊👍👍
That locomotive sound is because they enabled the exhaust valve. 7:44 Martjin shows it here. Basically switching between normal and straight pibe.
The reason for that is because the sound is technically illegal in many big cities in Europe, so to be able to get through the cities without a ticket they made that.
@@KoeddkHD Also you don't want to hear straight pipe 24/7, so it's nice to have peace and quiet if you want.
It’s not just Scania that make their own engines, axles, diffs etc… all Euro manufactures make all their own components
Scania. It's another reminder of the amazing engineering and prowess this EU company possesses. Flighter aircraft, tractor trailers, etc that remain top o the range. Then GM takes over and the whole automobili division thing collapsed sank. Thanks for the vid.
To be fair, GM isnt looked up highly over here either. Even the silverado has taken a dump lately.
Nice video Bruce.
Ik woon in plaats genaamd Zwolle in Nederland waar een Scania productie fabriek staat. Dus ik voel me erg verbonden met het merk Scania. Altijd leuk om te zien dat er altijd wel Nederlanders zijn overal te wereld.
Deze man heeft een hele nette camper Scania. Ben blij dat hij hem laten zien hier bij Bruce.
Bedankt voor deze video. ❤
Deze is gebouwd in Zwolle
Inderdaad. De man heeft een prachtige scania laten bouwen. Ik wist niet dat ze ook in Zwolle werden gemaakt.
nog sterker het grootste deel van de Scania's word in zwolle inelkaar gezet. Zou dit zelf ook wel willen doen maar dan met een 8x8
De Scania fabriek in Zwolle is inderdaad de grootste Scania fabriek, grote kans dat de truck in Zwolle is gemaakt.
czcams.com/video/xLFrrTun3lw/video.html Video van de productie fabriek in Zwolle
A small tip for your trip to Finland and Sweden, bring warm clothes, it's quite cold atm. -22 degrees C where I live in Sweden a few hours north-west of Stockholm so be prepared.
We have quite a lot of Scanias down here in New Zealand, we typically have either 6x4 or 8x4 chassis configurations, have seen the occasional 4x4 as well, look way better without bull bars though
Top gear said it... There's 2 type of truck driver, those who drive Scania, and those who wish they did...
I gave 11.5 years of my IT engineer life to Scania in Södertälje.
It was a great learning experience.
I did visit and helped out colleagues a couple of times in Zwolle (Netherlands)
Everyone was very nice.
But Dutch people are strange. They usually don't eat lunch, just a quick sandwish.
Boterham met kaas!
@@ayoubs7324 Yes. But it's so different from the rest of the western cuisine.
But i really loved the atmosphere over there with a lot of good beer(albeit in small glasses), until it was Sunday and everything was closed(almost) due to Calvinism.
I walked around Zwolle in despair for many hours, before finding a gas station that had Heineken.
So then i was in heaven again. Lol.
@@christer.rehnstrom You should have come to Rotterdam. It's the Dutch city that never sleeps.
And yes, we don't have a big lunch, we save that for the evenings.
Yep. Strange we are 😃
I have been in love with Scania since my childhood. My late Uncle used to own a fleet of Benz, DAF, MAN, VOLVO, and SCANIA that were roaming around Congo D.R., Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Among the Scania, some were used as technical support vehicles, and uncle used to come with one of them by the house every time he was in town; he will get me drive around with me. In the area where I used to live, most of the trucks around were MAGIRUS DEUTZ, TOYOTA 6000, Renault JE 13, and the army dedicated 6x6 MAN. Since, the sound of a SCANIA was so distinctive, I could recognize it from a distance and scream UD (the truck had big U & D letters on the sides of the container that it used to have) every time my uncle had come around. I was like six years old at the time. I love the Scania content Bruce; keep them coming.
48 years driving Scanias , they are incredible and apart from one non V8 Scania I swore after a six cylinder I would never again buy any Scania unless it was a V8 …They really are mountain stormers with incredible torque and incredible engine/ gearbox braking that leaves the brakes cool at all times …The fuel consumption running at 44tons with 6 axles was 8 mpg …
Hoe gaat het Martin met du, Martin!
Thank you for bringing your family, dog, and wagon by, so we could get to see how things should be.
We could clearly see Bruce and the Boys were impressed.❤
I wish you, and your family,
Veilige Reizen!

There exists also a Finnish truck brand btw, Sisu. But they are a smaller manufacturer and for example the cabs are supplied by Mercedes. Presumably you don't have time to visit them when you're here (~50 miles west from Helsinki), but let's see, maybe you'll spot one on the road. :)
(Scanias, Volvos etc. are way more common though.)
The engines aren't Sisu either. Pretty sure they are OM series by Mercedes too.
@@shaggings Yeah, and transmissions are also Mercedes automatics or Eaton Fuller. But they do offer some interesting options like the hybrid versions with 900+ hp.

Hi Bruce, I am from the UK & used to run Scania trucks back in the 1980s/1990s. They were the earlier 2 & 3 series trucks. Great to see someone in the United States taking an interest in Scania.
Hope your visit to the Scania factory goes well, you will be impressed with the line up of trucks that they produce. Thanks for a great CZcams channel.
HELL YEAH. RED WHITE AND BLUE REPRESENTING. You gotta love seeing them yellow Dutch license plates.
Did you talk to him about how long he can live off grid? I think he told me 6 weeks. It’s got a full filter system he can stop and jump from literally anywhere for drinking water. Such a cool unit! Was blown away talking with him
Game change Bruce for u amazing this Dutch guy turned up for you Bruce I can see you getting a s series in the future thanks for showing this video
American trucks are like dinosaurs with prehistoric technology.
The offroad clip , he'll yeah perfect for our Aussie outback
We are planning to come to Australia with this truck, we just have to figure out how we can stay longer then just 1 year
This guy makes me smile. Good guy it seems.
my brother helped build this one, its made by Twiga travel cars, named Project 105
That guy is awesome for dropping by like that.
I don't care for trucks what so ever, and don't know how I ended up here... but enjoyed it very much! Greetings from Germany!
"even has keyless entry" meanwhile my truck doesn't have mirrors anymore and drives itself on cruise control😂😂😂
I know right, watching American trucks they look so cool but I wouldn’t want to daily drive them no fckn way it’s 2024 sheesh!
1. The movement between box and cab is crazy 2. Why do I feel like there was someone under that Spider-Man blanket in the back 😂😂😂
Bruce your becaming a true Scania ambassador..... Love it
If you go to Scania in Södertälje you must visit Scania demo center and try out Nordic truck combination truck and trailer over 24 meters 60 tons
I like this rebuildning/fixing stuff so much more than destroying things. Scania
we love the scania stuff, keep making this type of videos
Cool to see Dutch plates over there!
I am desperate to see how you get on at the Scania factory. You will be like a kid in a candy store😂😂. I hope you have a brilliant experience and take away some great ideas for more videos.👍
Hi Bruce really great video just wanted to tell Martin to check wheel central on hub when we fit scania wheels we first fit 2x coend style wheels nuts to centre the wheel on the hub this will get rid of the wheels shaking at 80 kph
Scania would put all the American truck companies out of business if they ever wound up here. Amazing machines.
And that is why it will never happen. The us with its import laws favours the american built trucks. Not saying that its a bad thing but. The only way to get it into the us market will be building a whole new factory over there. And thats one hell of a risk i bet the VAG group wont take, which owns basically 90% of Scania.
@@planaprojectyet, they bought Navistar.
That’s how low efficiency products can continue to thrive. Keep the foreigners and the technology out and you can stay in the seventies.
Canada will make the US jealous I think. Scania is coming over there!
The United States protects its brands a lot, if Scania enters the country it would destroy all of them
Grtz from Holland!! Nice too see👍🏼👍🏼
Im enjoying this content so much Bruce. Thank you. Ive been driving Scanias since passing my test in 1990 including recently the new gen. We take them for granted here in Scotland as we dont know much else. Its a shame you didnt get a chance to drive it in the dark as the lights on the new gen are amazing. Thanks again and i look forward to your future content. ❤🏴
I definitely appreciate this video Bruce. I've learned alot about the Scania because of your latest videos. Thanks brother. 🇺🇲👍
Will be very interesting to see the travels to the Netherlands and Scania factory. As a worldly traveler myself in my younger years, its a humbling experience and will change you. Traveling is a vast educational experience all on its own. Goodluck and safe travels Bruce.
That´s a Scania beast!!!! Greetings from Sweden!!
Cool too see the passion of 2 completely different types of truckers drewling over a V8 scania😂
That's a beautiful Scania! Well over $1,000,000. Definitely a well built all terrain beast that you can disappear for months at a time!
Its prob around 350-400k usd to buy a new next gen plus do this to it
yeah just the camper part is easily 400-500k. Custom built off-road capable campers of this size are pretty expensive.
Don't forget, it's $1.000.000 in The Netherlands, its very heavy taxed.
To put that in perspective, a VW Golf R have a base price of $45.455 in US. This exactly the same car have a base price of $87.450 in The Netherlands.
Same goes for a Tiguan, starts from $28k in US, $47.5 in Holland, and that car isn't even near the trimlevel of its US counterpart.
I recon this beautiful Scania would be 500~750k when it would be possible to buy that thing in the US 😉
@@ihmesekoilua Also pretty redundant since its illegal to drive off-road in most of european countries. Busses converted to RV's are more common
@@DuBstep115 yeah, but this caliber of trucks aren't bought to be driven around Europe, they are made for Morocco and Tunisia, or trips to the 'stans and Mongolia. Besides, they are bad-road vehicles, not off-road vehicles. I saw a few similar trucks up in northern Scandinavia this summer - it's quite possible to get away from civilization and get a bit of mud on the tyres in Europe as well.
Love that if your seat belt is not in it will not go anywhere. Clever 😊
Well no he said that if you dont put a seatbelt on the parking brake wont disengage you have to do it manually. if you have a seatbelt on you put it in gear and tap the accelerator and the truck will go. same as in new German cars
I’m amazed how impressed you guys are with something I thought would have been a international standard. I have been driving trucks like this since I started driving trucks I just assumed Americans would have the same technology as we do.
When I drove a 124 first time a 2008 model every other trucks felt old fashioned. Super quiet and the ergonomic is just fantastic. Everything is within range without lifting yourself out of the chair.. All scania engines are super drivable. They pull from well below 1000 rpm
Love the Scania content. Being from the UK we see these everywhere. Occasionally the T series too. But bonnets on truck here are rare.
Wow Bruce,now Scanias have started looking for you.😁
Mack builds all their own stuff....I remember my 300+ , I did oilfield work back then, that thing would go places that other trucks had to be towed in with a cat, I chained up and had no problems !! I drive a T800 now and love it also, great trucks . A Dutch farmer up the road has a Scania for a grain truck, always gives me a smile when I see it.
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for sowing us the Scania RV. That thing is so nice.
Love it! Looking forward to the factory tour and Finland trip! And other Scania content! I'm happy they decided to pay you a visit, awesome video! Did he get to take a ride in your modern US truck?
this is an amazing overland rv rig,
Thank you very much for the video. I hope you enjoy your visit to the SCANIA factory. I'm looking forward to seeing your video about this visit. It is very pleasant to see your videos and your friendliness. Greetings from Spain.
Wow, I saw this Scania in California back in September in our local park, he's been all over.
Yes we have been there😊
The Scania logo is the head of a griffin. In Swedish, griffin is "gripen". Our fighter plane JAS Gripen then becomes JAS Griffin. Greetings from Sweden, I love your videos!
The Scania logo, the griffin is the heraldic( google it) symbol of Skåne ( Skåne= Scania in the latin language) since the year 1562 ish. Skåne is the most southern part of Sweden and the Scania Company started in the year 1900 In Malmö, Skåne, Sweden...
Bruce I always thought it would be really cool to build an RV out of one of these. I think it's pretty damn cool do you have a couple of these them dudes have some of the coolest paint jobs ever on these scania big rigs.♥️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Most amazing thing about whese new V8 scanias is ergonomics. You won't get tired, and you feel the truck as your own body extension +power = excitement
I just passed by that scania rv today on i 10 just before Houston
Well, welcome to Sweden next week :) If you're planning to visit the Scania factory you're actually going to my home town, Södertälje. Will be fun to see that video when it coms out. Wish you safe travels and I hope you will enjoy your stay. Cheers!
its crazy, you had a great thing going, it went kinda bad an police got involved, you did your service to the law, you got back in a truck an kep driving.
now look what youve got going brotha you bought one of your dream trucks, then another even better an nicer, now you have great wonderful people from around the world seeking you out,
theres a saying you meet the nicest people driving a honda, but with scania its, you make the best friends driving a scania. i love to see you an the guys reaching into the future an pulling it to you.
Great video! Those Scanias are amazing!
That is one awesome RV
✨👌✨. Awesome unit. My friend whom owns a gold mine in Alaska...And I are buying a 2019 Scania RV like that ..But blue ... We're getting it for obvious reasons... Alaska weather and he sometimes stays at the mine and he goes to Nome Alaska often .. Actually Bruce you inspired us to get one ...As we already use Scania Dump Trucks on the mine ...Very nice vehicle... Scania should have a plant in the USA
It would be awesome if you could post some videos of you and your pal's Scania experience. Scania at an Alaskan gold mine sounds amazing.
@@moosic2i I agree, that would be really interesting to watch!
@@johnrice6543 Why? Seems to work for the other companies?
@@johnrice6543 you don't seem to have much faith in your local truck manufacturers. And why couldn't they start a manufacturing facility in the US?
Hi Bruce, again great to see how excited you get when you see a new or different Scania, the guy from Holland mentioned about the fuel economy of his RV, I used to work for an IVECO Dealership in the late 90,s early 2000,s, one of my jobs was to instruct truck drivers to get the best out of their tucks regarding fuel, i could regularly get 12 miles to the gallon at 44 tons with the IVECO Eurostar 430 bhp, ( the Eurostar became the Stralis and now the Iveco S,way, this is the same cab used by Nicolai Electric trucks in the US )But regarding fuel don't be suprised about European trucks being good on fuel whilst hauling stuff down the road, keep up the good videos and roll on Finland and the factory tour at Scania
As an Dutch person living next to the DAF factory I cannot be a Scania fanboy😅 But still nice video's thanks!
Even I haven't seen anything this new. The latest ones I have seen/repaired were 2017 models. It seems that everything is a little more accessible under the front grill. Scania has developed a lot from the models I repaired
If you go to Sweden to like Scania in Södertälje, Head like 130km down to Norrköping and you can check in and also try DAF XF, DAF XG+ and some Volvos, Volvo fh16, fh12, nh12 etc.
Scania no.1!
At one time it was US semis that were the one to have (60's). That all changed during the 70/80's and European semis just kept going forward, tech wise, and the US semis stayed in the past. The gap between US semis and European today, is miles apart, tech wise the US trucks are just old hat now, a throwback to times gone long ago.
That is the reason the US don't want the more advanced European tech, its simply better than the US stuff, in most things not just trucks.
The VHD volvo trucks have the air steering wheel tilt as well. It is wild how many diff positions it can be put in
I’ve never seen or heard of this before but that is awesome
All trucks here have that.
Coaches as well.
You should come to truck star event in Holland next summer
Welcome to Finland, there is a lot to wonder about here! The weather is really nice, cold and a lot of snow!🤣
Ive always liked SCANIA from years ago . We had a pair of 340 HP conventional tri-axle dumps with Bibeau bodys that our drivers would fight over because they were so comfortable and easy to drive . Back in the '80s SCANIA pioneered things like the automatic shifting manual ten speed fully synchonized transmission , the gyro oil filter , and a tandem rear end with a shear pin in it so you didn't have to worry about ripping out the rears . There is an interesting back story about why SCANIA trucks are not sold in the US market . They do have stationary and marine engines for sale here , but basicly they felt they got royaly screwed over by the US EPA during the time of new emissions regulations for deisel engines . The deadline for compliance kept getting pushed out due to the lobby efforts from Cummins, Cat , Navistar , and Detroit Deisel . Scania's V-8 had already passed the test , then the regulations got changed . Back then the EPA test was $ 1 million dollars . Thats when they held up their middle finger to the US market .
Navistar is part of Triton group now , like Scania and MAN .
Some International trucks are already equipped with Scania and MAN powertrains . They are assembled in the states, and have different names . For some reason International thinks that they'll sell better if they advertise them as their own design !
Maybe you can pick up newer shocks for the cab on your truck and adapt them and make them work.
