    Both, both is good, These two companies not only produce trucks or vans, but also produce buses, trolleybuses and railbus parts (engines, etc.)
    Mercedes Benz is also known as the oldest luxury car brand, while MAN is known for trucks and buses

    Fuso 4M40/4M50 (Canter), 6M60 (Fighter), 6M70 & 6R10 (Super Great) are the most reliable Fuso engines when they were partly owned by Daimler A.G.
    Currently, Fuso markets latest engines for Actros-based Super Great way back 2017 with their upgraded 6R20 heavy engine, while they also later introduced their small but fuel efficient 6S10 engine.
    The new Fuso Super Great has Mercedes Arocs headlamps, and its interior on their instrument panel is obviously almost the same as the New Actros, only differs is that its redesigned info display in Japanese.
    While Fuso 4P10 (for Canter introduced in 2010) on the other hand, is based from Iveco F1C, its reliability failed compared to its leading engine rival, Isuzu 4JJ1 for Isuzu Elf 6th gen. in 2006.

    I would lean more towards the MAN as I drive a new one now and I like the addional feature of the engine brake automatically cancelling when the accelerator is pressed because sometimes it just makes it that little bit easier when turning corners as you don't have to do as much all at once meaning you have a little bit better control of the truck. The only downside I can see about the MAN truck is the mattress on the bed isn't very thick so it can be uncomfortable at times. The merc on the other hand I drove a new one of those and I wasn't impressed with the pulling power as it seemed very sluggish in all round like when setting off at traffic lights by the time it has found the power the traffic lights had changed again so the only way you was ever getting through them was if you was already first at the white line. If mercedes managed to rectify this problem I'm sure they would be great as the interior is fancy and nice looking along with the exterior but when it boils down to pulling power that's where it lacks unfortunately so I would say the MAN is better in my opinion.

      The first generation of the Actros were introduced in 1996 the pulling power was way better because there was not so much electronics and AD Blue crap involved to control fuel consumption. Those trucks accelerated like a race car. I frequently picked them up in the Wörth plant as my company back then was one of three in Germany which had the test versions of each new Modell. I remember to pick up the first 500 HP Actros . Man that kept going like crazy. Now i am driving all brands trucks since almost 20 years all over the US and Canada and they are very sluggish, too. It is sad s... with all this fuel consumption monitoring. Still overall it makes way more fun to drive here than overseas. Greeting to all truckers in Germany.

    • @benji3971
      @benji3971 Рік тому

      @tomh9807 yeah the company I work for here in the uk have had many of their actros break down due to the dpf system failing as alot of the roads where we are based are limited to 50mph so unless we are on the motorway we can't run them at full chat to be able to get hot enough to regenerate so instead they get clogged up with the carbon and break down unfortunately. All this emissions crap just ruins the reliability of the modern motors I think 😅

    Well, I will admit Mercedes has more of a brand reputation across. I also know they tend to be more expensive and take longer to get parts for when they break. ( at least they do in North America). Meanwhile, MAN tends to be more reliable and hold up better than Mercedes. In Fact Fendt tractors, which also sold in North America and have MAN Motors Tend to be the most reliable and hold up quite well. Meanwhile, a Mercedes motor 😱😱. They're a mechanics nightmare. When I had to take my final test to get my Class B CDL, the vehicle we were using had a Mercedes diesel engine in it. And oh boy was I thrown for a loop. As the trucks I was using before the test had Cummins motors. So I almost failed my hands-on exam. See, unlike the Cummins motors, which have everything in an easy to figure out format. Mercedes diesels has everything all over the place. So if you're unfamiliar with Mercedes diesels, you're going to have a fun time figuring out where everything is located. In stark contrast to the MAN, which is much simpler. So if I had to buy a truck to do my job, I'd go with the MAN.

These you tube videos don't really help they mostly focus on driving comfort and features and what not. I can't seem to find videos about drive train and engines comparisons. Are European truck engines are interchangeable like American trucks?American trucks come with at least couple different engine options. American Volvos are wired for their D12 and D13 series but also Cummins isx or and new Cummins x15 as well. My fav engines are Detroit series 60, cat 15 and Volvo d12 . Id like to drop series 60 engine in DAF or Man. I think i am gonna really miss good ole American trucks
