Damn I just love Freightliners, especially those classic 1980s and 1990s off-road and heavy duty trucks! Same with Western Star trucks like the 6900XD.
Freightliner Cascadia is available in Australia. The reason why freightliner is popular in USA is because it's owned by Daimler AG. Even Bharatbenz is also part of Daimler.
IVECO's FPT division only builds powertrain components, not trucks. Since IVECO is not in the North American truck market (other than as Nikola trucks), FPT isn't in it, either.
Similar to FPT, but in only engines, Scania does not sell trucks in North America but does sell engines for off-highway use. Oshkosh uses Scania engines in some airport rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) apparatus and snow blowers - the DC16 V8 in the fire apparatus. They previously used Deutz TCD V8's - another Euro engine maker that doesn't sell trucks in North America.
@@brianb-p6586 Scania sells both industrial and marine engines in the US. The industrial engines are used for different purposes like those you mentioned and for generators etc. Just the same way Caterpillar and Cummins engines are used in Europe.
@t.l.robinson2162 all of the brands are American trucks, most from European-owned companies. Mack is no different from Freightliner, Western Star, Volvo, or International in that respect.
Many people in North America say exactly the same thing about European trucks. People only recognize brand differences in the products with which they are familiar.
But they don't,@@MH-kc1eu, just as a Freightliner and a Kenworth don't look exactly the same... although they're so close that a European (and many North Americans) would likely say that they are the same.
Does anyone knows when did paccar bought dutch company DAF ? and now howmany procent of DAF is actually dutch and howmuch is American ? For example engine gear box are american or Dutch? Some info please
I mean for their purpose they certainly are. They wouldn’t perform the same in Europe but they aren’t made for that type of work. Very different market and comparing the two is a moot point.
We stop building cabover trucks in the USA in the 80's, Thank God,I hate them I hope they never come back.Please keep them in Europe most truck drivers in North America want a Hood.
@domino5254 it has to do with driver comfort since we have open land and have to drive hours on end the cab over isn't really ideal when it comes to comfort .
Ford hasn't produced heavy-duty semi-trucks in USA for many years. The L-Series (Loiusville/Aeromax) was produced until 1998. The Ford heavy-duty truck product line was sold to Freightliner in 1996. The trucks were then built under the Sterling brand until being discontinued in 2009. Ford Trucks in Türkiye produces modern cab-over semi-trucks for European, African and Asian markets.

Basically Daimler,Paccar,Volvo, control US market
My uncle worked for a company that delivered Mack trucks from the factory to the dealership

Mack Anthem!
Those new trucks don't do well in the winter. That regen is impossible.
Interesting clip, thanks for sharing.
You welcome 👍
Good information can you make video on which truck company maintenance is cheaper and its parts availability also.
Thanks
It is interesting how FPT is not seen in the truck market. Allthough, you see them in farming or construction industry.

The funniest thing of this is that all of them is owned or an part of an European Company. 😂
All except Paccar 😅
@@TruckTropia Oh, I was thinking that they're we're European. More you know 😅 🌟
But hey those are some amazing trucks.
Mack is owned by Volvo but it is an American truck.

Hola yo también juego al eurotruck
There will be a quiz next week
Sure :)
BR transportador 💙 💛 🤍 💚
I'll take a Paccar or Daimler personally
So many different trucks in Europe but in America it's a case of seen one you've seen them all.
Many people in North America say exactly the same thing about European trucks. People only recognize brand differences in the products with which they are familiar.
😂 but all of the European style semi trucks look the exact same
But they don't,@@MH-kc1eu, just as a Freightliner and a Kenworth don't look exactly the same... although they're so close that a European (and many North Americans) would likely say that they are the same.
สวัสดีครับ❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️👍

PACCAR bought DAF in 1997, and they drive with a PACCAR engine, and powertrain so a big part.
Autocar is stil on busnis 😇
Autocar doesn't offer a semi-truck in their current product range (although the DC-64 could in theory be modified for use in this application).
Lisle IL it pronounced Li ale
Saying American trucks are durable is like saying the earth is flat
Well, it is so…
😂 😂😂

Or saying the world is not hungry 😉

More about European trucks
European companies own most of this. Why not release a nice powerful engine like they got there, or a nice cabover for North America?
North American emission standards are far more stringent than in Europe.

@@thebobcat1964 why tho?

@@haydengibson9730 oh ok I understand, thanks for the explanation
USA 💪🏻 EUROPE 🏳️🌈
Mack does NOT use Volvo engines. Volvo uses Mack engines.
Not true 😅 Volvo who created and developed it
@@TruckTropia it is true. Check your facts, don't spread disinformation.
@@t.l.robinson2162The only Volvos with Mack engine are for the USA market, anf even then Volvo is reversing that direction
Where are Ford Semi Trucks? They are the only pure American trucks in terms of ownership..... Or are they?
