In Scandinavia those very trucks are outfitted with snowclearing equipment. Once you have a plow, sideplow and board mounted, as well with saltpack and sludge equipment you'll really appreciate how well engineered those trucks are. Believe me, I've dona a few years on both Scandinavian trucks (Scania, Volvo) as well as other European (DAF, MAN, Benz) in both Iceland and Sweden and I'll take Scania any day of the year.
@@woutervanwijk4369 Love DAF ngl especially the new one is sick af They are quiet and so comfort too And i look at Stebo's new DAF XG and that thing look so beautiful omg
Just started following you and I have been in Finland and just move to Ohio. I know trucks and I understand the smile on your face in this trucks from Europe
I've never seen a truck do a figure 8 in small space, and jack the tractor past the jackknife point, and then pull out of it like it's nothing! He was going forward with the tractor and backward with the trailer. Those trucks are truly something else. Scania is light years ahead of us in America, and this is a 20 year truck!
SCANIA is elite though, Volvo is kind of similar and DAF and MAN are not much behind, also Mercedes. iVECO Renault. I do not want to start a war in the comments I just wanted to say SCANIA is by far the best brand out there. It’s elite and we in the Netherlands are proud to build this Swedish supertrucks 🇸🇪 🇳🇱
IT is realy nice to watch how a groan guy giggles like a child hehe, my Dad wath driving here in Europe more then 40 Year´s a Truck for his living always from Germany to Italy with many Mountains on his route. Nice greetings from AUSTRIA
That's with an American trailer. Now imagine doing that with a European trailer (Schwarzmüller or Krone) with the European tech on it. The turning circle will improve even more!
@@TheMcspreader Indeed, and definitely had a chuckle too. Especially the trailer hanging that far back is just weird, and bad for the weight distribution as well. I hope Bruce will pick up some good ideas and insights as to how Euopeans roll when he is here, then bring it home and apply those ideas where he can.
My favourite scania of all time has to be the old 141 v8 super my father used to drive one for a fish merchant when I was at school many years ago he used to take my down to Grimsby through the night to deliver the fish and what fantastic memory's can I just say you will be totally blown away when you get to Finland and see all the European have to offer
@@LogiForce86however, that weight distribution isn't a problem for a Scania. Here in Rotterdam (very big port area) a lot of trailers made for two sea containers only loaded with the back one (still has to pick the second one up or already dropped it off) and no issue at all.
@@Savagetechietbh I think he knows that and was just saying how weird it was that it’s been moved that far back, that’s just what my understanding was but hey I might be wrong
Here in Italy we run trailers tight to the cab (6-10inches) for Stream Lining better MPG Definitely adjust the fifth wheel Definitely get a full set of Mud Guards for the back axles
Same in The Netherlands, the stream-lining plating on the back of the cab was practically useless right now, and the amount of weight on the back wheels was not exactly equally spread over all axles.
Your trailer will keep locking up because it doesn't have ebs. This happens to us as well over here if the ebs malfunctions or is disconnected. Note i wrote ebs, not abs. Ebs is more advanced abs with anti jacknife and anti roll protection etc. The trailer will brake automatically if it detects an anomaly to straighten itself out. Not sure if mentioned before, but EU trailers pretty much all have airride, can be controlled from the cab in newer ones, even the lift axles. And they all have disk brakes with ebs. Also rearstear is a thing here.
In the UK and most of Europe, you'd lose your job for winding those legs up without locking the fifth wheel in. We will fully back into the trailer to perform a "tug test" and connect the airlines and electrical suzies before winding up the legs to ensure that the trailer is coupled and locked in properly. Other than that, great video and shows just how nimble our trucks are over here. I'd love to see you try the same test with a T-cab unit and trailer :)
Yeah i was thinking the same thing, i was used to lift the legs a little bit, hook the kingpin and after checking if it is secure then i would wind up the legs. (In the Netherlands)
If you have a trailer brake in the truck(option on most trucks I believe) you make it this way in Europe too. At least we do in Finland. It's quite shitty to connect airlines etc when the gap is much smaller between the cab and the trailer (apr. 30-40 cm).
7:07 the new maximum length in Sweden has been increased to 114.8 feet. This means that two trucks that are 114.8 feet (35 meters) replace three trucks that are 82 feet (25 meters Standard length in Sweden) and reduce the emissions from one truck. 13:11 Scania is manufactured in Sweden!! Scania is a landscape in Sweden.
@@MobBlood-r8p That is not possible because of the trailers support legs ! I jus checked, with mine ( European trailer ) it is 4.20 meter from front trailer to support legs !
This is also not standard Scania we see everyday here in Europe. This is special version with longer wheelbase with added 2nd axle used for heavy-duty work like moving oversized and overweight cargo. You never see this version of Scania in Europe unless transporting overweight stuff. I think you can even order those longer wheel-base with 3 rear axles so 3rd goes in front of those 2 already there. That's why the gap is such insane. Normally gap is a lot smaller. Also US trailer doesn't help here, as the trailer mount seems to be closer to the front of trailer.
Don't forget the trailer lift axle that you can operate from the cab, and the steering axle(s) of the European trailers. That makes it a whole lot easier as well.
The main reason is that 1 driven axle is enough 99.9% of the time. We rather just live with that 0.1% when it's not enough instead of ruining fuel economy and wasting tires all the time.
Yup, fully synchronized transmission. Which I think has been standard on European trucks since the 70s/80s. So yeah, ancient tech and even for our standards it was a late adaptation at the time for trucks and also farm tractors.
Scania (and Volvo and others..) had syncro transmitions many years ago.. This one is an old style manual...Nowadays they too, have the automatic system and one of the best transmissions I ever worked with ..The 14 gears auto.. It is the best transmission at least for the 500 HP range..
I hope they let you try the biggest basic combination when you're in Oulu. 113ft and 130 000 pound, It moves quite nicely with Scania's 700 hp engine. I'm not a truck driver myself, but I have sat in the driver's seat several times and wondered how a professional man drive this combination
Welcome to Finland! Don't forget to check out the B-Link and HCT truck and trailer combinations and do not leave Finland until you backed those to a loading ramp. 🙂
We have trains . The Dutch trial with the 32-meter Super EcoCombi with total weights of up to 72 tons is not an isolated event. Countries such as Sweden, Finland and Spain now also allow such combinations.
The reason why most european trucks have air axel is because if they have that they are alowed to run with slightly higher load, so its basically profitable
@@tcb1017 Yeah i dont believe Euro trucks entering big in US markets any time soon if never, but damn you must be a fun guy in parties with so many salty replys..
Just wanted to point out that if you have subtitles on and he is on throttle not speaking it says applause and clapping. Kinda funny, what a nice sounding motor.
Not only do you look a bit like Leonardo Dicaprio and you also said Bill of sale in your last video which took me straight back to the Django movie and i lost my mind 😂 ❤
Hello again Bruce, I noticed that your Scania has almost no mud flaps at the back. So all the dirt and rain gets thrown all over the back of the cab. You should buy a new complete set for the rear. And after assembly, leaving out only the upper parts of the boogie axle because of possible damage when used with trailers makes a Scania look great. There are also extra brackets for the two covers so that they can be secured properly and not lost while driving with the trailer. If you're at Max Hunt, have all the possible electronic settings explained to you, especially the retarder and cruise control. I hope he can explain to you a lot how you can make and change the settings. I am of the opinion that the retarder alone does the braking work via the brake pedal during light braking. With new Scanias it is even the case that when driving downhill you just tap the brake pedal briefly and the Scania then maintains the speed independently and, if necessary, downshifts one or more gears. Ps; Feddy from Germany also has a nice video channel about his tours with his Scania in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. He drives a new S 660. With a 4X2 tractor, as is often used in international European long-distance transport. In combination with a 13.5 meter long three-axle semi-trailer, it can then travel throughout Europe regardless of national weight and length restrictions. Here is the link to his video channel. ua-cam.com/users/simmeintuevideos Many greetings, Wilhelm
Not a trucker but work on heavy vehicles and Scania has always been the favorit to work on. Blows my mind how different the build quality and maintenance friendliness is between various brands. Scania is the top of the line while their owner (MAN) is in the bottom tier. Have fun over in Finland and especially when you come over to Sweden and visit the factory. It should not be to hard to get stuff for your truck here and get it shipped over. Might become a bit expensive if it's a lot of things. At least a good thing with the Scania is that most parts for at least the suspension and chassis are interchangeable between the models, even if the models are a couple of years apart.
Things changed heavily with the new gens though. Scania is not what it was with the 4 series, volvo has cheap cheap interior quality now they are Chinese...
You should get a Volvo Globetrotter cabover as well. Most of the European COEs and Conventional trucks (Volvo, Scania and Iveco) have four or five different electrical and air hoses (Susie Coils or Susies as they nnicknamed). Two of the air hoses have a plug design, similar to the connections to air your tires and three are electrical, one controls the clearance lights, the others control the turn signals and brake lights.
After watching the latest one i had to come back to see these vids.. This truck with the boosted 730 you just picked up and shoehorned in, it will be freaking sick! I also hope you bring home a proper Scania steering wheel.. :)
Hello. We in Europe say that transmission has 12 gears. It's easier to explain and to understand. You have 1-6 gears and when you press the switch you have 7-12. Starting with 3-4, than to 6, that you need to shift to 8-9, so you know that you need to press the switch and change it to upper gears. Have a good trip to Scania.
I'm willing to bet that'll you'll be impressed by what we use in Scandinavia, the vbg connection on most trucks and our htc system as mentioned by someone else can reach 34,5 meters or about 113ft so be sure to ask alot of questions to get the answears and really look for stuff
Your bro has skills, you can right see it. Without any sort of driving with it he just feels so ez these syncrons. Nice to see. Usualy in EU we drive close, hook up brake and power lines, lock trailer up and lift it up more, after lifting it much eazyer to handle jacks.
So, while you are over in Europe, see if you can take a look at a Schenkler 2-box rig; it's a 3-axle power unit like yours, but with a 7.5m box on the frame, then another 7.5m box being pulled on a single-axle dolly and a single (or dual) axle trailer. These boxes are removable, and have legs to stand on, and a track on the bottom to connect to. Most warehouses, these boxes are pre-filled and lined-up in the parking lot; The driver dumps his power unit air, then backs his trailer under the boxes, letting the guide rails line it up. Once the trailer is underneath the rear box, he turns the locks to connect it to the trailer, then raises the air on the power unit, and connects the front box, too.
As a swede it is just so wierd that these are exotic :P Had a peterbilt from the early 90s outside my garage for a while and we all joked about how basic and like 70s it was :P
My Dad was a Trucker (wagon and drag at the end of his career) He'd love this channel if he were still here He could put those trailer doors on a penny piece into some of the most stupid inner city loading docks.
ah mate, that sounds sick, but even better, is if you put what us brazillians call a pente na turbina, look that up exactly like that, and just listen to beautifullness
I'm sure it was already done in Canada. Butt what all has to be modified on the Scania to pull a North American trailer? Besides the 12v converter of course. I know they have extra lighting on their trailers and not sure how their air brake system works
im a european trucker can i just recommend one thing dont lift the feet of the trailler before hooking up to the fith wheel i would recommend hooking up then first give it a tug to make sure she is engaged then up the suspension and pull the feet love youre videos btw
I only just realised now. I never knew that NA 5th wheels are further forward on the truck/king pin so close to the front of the trailer. That will cause load balancing issues for you so keep an eye on it if you ever do haul anything more than an empty trailer. Our king pins must be further back on the trailer as that looks stupid on Euro style trucks. And yes, when they make tight turns the trailer over hangs out the side where as thinking about it Ive never seen an NA truck do that. Learnt something new
Also the trailer wheels are so far back in NA and with the 5th wheel thing I mentioned that explains why trucks have so much of a worse turning circle. Ignoring the length difference, say even if it was a Euro Long Nose cab and equal as long trailer, I'd still say it'll be better at turns
Driven Lorries sorry Trucks without using the clutch but as long as you have the correct revs. You guys are so laid back my kind of guys to hang out with.
American trucks have non-synchromesh gearboxes, which requires you to double clutch or floating the gears (without using the clutch at all). They are actually better than synchromesh gearboxes (like in almost all european trucks since 1990s) but it is more difficult and takes longer to instruct drivers how to deal with it.
No tug test? There's nothing like a trailer on the deck. The legs coming up so far had me stressed as well. With a lot of weight on and on a sleight camber it could be a problem. Anyway, you're doing great. That's all that matters. 👍
Looking forward to your content from the Nordics. Welcome! Make sure to bring some warm clothes this time of year. Not too bad in the south where you will be (I am guessing?) but still pretty cold.

Y'all see the parachute guy watching Bruce playing with his trailer
keep the clips coming
My Dad was a Trucker (wagon and drag at the end of his career) He'd love this channel if he were still here
He could put those trailer doors on a penny piece into some of the most stupid inner city loading docks.
You should change light bulbs for the extra lights. 1 on the tottom behind the white thing and 2 on the roof
Nice truck 🛻
Lean your arm on the arm rest or on the window sill , this will help you stop wobbling the the steering wheel
It even has a long wheel base, too. Most European semi trucks are shorter. It should also have no problem with pulling massive loads
the fun part is that in the eu old shcool drivers only uses it to start and stop while drivin
This is cool
Welcome to Finland
You can just change the shoks in the aribags
16:14 Search for videos when they turn timber trucks in Swedish forests, absolutely crazy how they flip the stuff around on a dime.
ah mate, that sounds sick, but even better, is if you put what us brazillians call a pente na turbina, look that up exactly like that, and just listen to beautifullness
I'm sure it was already done in Canada. Butt what all has to be modified on the Scania to pull a North American trailer? Besides the 12v converter of course. I know they have extra lighting on their trailers and not sure how their air brake system works
im a european trucker can i just recommend one thing dont lift the feet of the trailler before hooking up to the fith wheel i would recommend hooking up then first give it a tug to make sure she is engaged then up the suspension and pull the feet love youre videos btw
put stacks up as well as dual down switched between them with an air control valve
it looks like you could move your table forward a lot with that type a trailer.
Music to my ears, I used to drive a 98 peterbilt cabover with a loud exhaust
I only just realised now. I never knew that NA 5th wheels are further forward on the truck/king pin so close to the front of the trailer. That will cause load balancing issues for you so keep an eye on it if you ever do haul anything more than an empty trailer. Our king pins must be further back on the trailer as that looks stupid on Euro style trucks. And yes, when they make tight turns the trailer over hangs out the side where as thinking about it Ive never seen an NA truck do that. Learnt something new
Also the trailer wheels are so far back in NA and with the 5th wheel thing I mentioned that explains why trucks have so much of a worse turning circle.
Ignoring the length difference, say even if it was a Euro Long Nose cab and equal as long trailer, I'd still say it'll be better at turns
Nothing sounds like a Scania with a trailer filled with 40 ton of grain then go under a bridge and give it full speed. It sounds crazy
My dream truck: a Scania 770 6X4 with 240 wheelbase for my heavy haul loads.
If the wind is good and its a open field. You can hear the turbo whissling from miles miles away
😃 from Sweden
hej jag kan inte skriva på engelska
Well, it's not a tight turn until the trailer starts backing up :)
Bruce flexing on the haters
Scania needs stacks
You need some european 'long neck' trailers to go with the Scania !!
Driven Lorries sorry Trucks without using the clutch but as long as you have the correct revs. You guys are so laid back my kind of guys to hang out with.
American trucks have non-synchromesh gearboxes, which requires you to double clutch or floating the gears (without using the clutch at all). They are actually better than synchromesh gearboxes (like in almost all european trucks since 1990s) but it is more difficult and takes longer to instruct drivers how to deal with it.
cool !
No tug test? There's nothing like a trailer on the deck. The legs coming up so far had me stressed as well. With a lot of weight on and on a sleight camber it could be a problem. Anyway, you're doing great. That's all that matters. 👍
Looking forward to your content from the Nordics. Welcome! Make sure to bring some warm clothes this time of year. Not too bad in the south where you will be (I am guessing?) but still pretty cold.
