Hi! Me and my father are the owners of Autolack in Halmstad, Sweden. Fun to see 🤩
That's amazing! Any pictures or information about the history of this truck?
Världen är liten!, och jag som tyckte det var roligt som bott i Halmstad och lärt mig köra lastbil med Scania på LV6, men det kan komma närmre 😅
Sounds like a collab coming 😅
@@m03anlo världen är verkligen liten, häftigt! 😃
@@JetzeMellema I’m gonna see if I can find something 😃
The G stands for Heavy Long Distance transport.
C is Construction Transport
D is Distribution Transport
L is Long Distance Transport
G is Heavy Long Distance Transport.
From 2005 on when the new Scanias came out the G Scania's are all with the middle cab between R and P.
Uh oh, he’s gonna have some fun with this one 😳
I guess it could be heavy duty truck,but i doubt it is long distance,considering that tiny fuel tanks.
@@Z4N7 you can order Bigger Tanks. Most you Drive Heavy Transports with the G's Traktors Truck's or with longer wheelbase Longwood or with another wheel formula the Big Heavy Transports: Ships,Planes,wind turbines.
And for what stands S ?
@@kankerbende New Generation has models:
S, R, G, P and P low entry.
Difference between model S and R that S has no tunnel on floor between seats.
S has higher fixed cab (4 steps to go inside).
R has tunnel and lower fixed cab (3 steps to go inside).
One switch for truck taglift, the other with 3 wheels on it, is for lifting front axle on the trailer.
You in US run 2 axle with dual tire trailers. We run 3 axle single tire. So if you're running empty or light, you can lift the first axle to reduce tire wear and fuel consuption.
To use the Webasto you have a controller on the wall behind your left shoulder. Best regards from a Norwegian trucker who have driven Scania for 20 years. I started in a 4x2 94P (4-series), then a 4x2 P360 and a 6x4 R580 (5-series) and now a 2020 R650 8x4 NextGen. Info: Approximately 99,9% av all new trucks in Norway have automatic gearbox type like Scanias Opticruise. You know what we say... there are only 2 types of trucks. Old and new Scania.
Auto lack in halmstad is a great company that paints everything we had 2 of our trucks painted there👍
Halmstad is a city on the soutwest coast of sweden..
The button with 3 circkles is for lifting your trailer front axle. If it has one ofcourse
Was never interested in European trucks, Until you made the vids of the Scania trucks. Think they are awesome.
Glad you like them!
funny thing
for as a German truck driver its almost the exact in reverse
but like a hazy mirror image
Wilson Scania Imports of Florida in the near future!!
Bruce, you have truly become an honorary Canadian in my books with your Scania purchases and road trips through our Great White North. Thank you for the great video content and take care, eh? Just a Canuck from Eastern Ontario, Canada😁
Wow, thank you!
The chinise diesel heater all over youtube are copy of webasto. it is most likely just dirty inside so the brain shut it off if it is not heating properly.... super easy to open and clean after you find it under the cabin somewhere :D@@Bruce_Wilson
Hi bruce being a scania 770s owner I think this is a real step up and I am glad to hear your not going to do crazy ripping it apart . You are getting better with scania and this a big powerfull truck look after this and treat it like a lady she will reward you well it looks good your best buy so far
Way back before 9/11, I drove commercial motor coach in Ohio. As part of my training for the new company, I had to do a U.S./Canada border crossing at the Ambassador Bridge. On the coach was me (the trainee) and the trainer. The U.S. border agent was lonely and board! He held us for an hour while standing in the warm bus and talking our ear off. I kept looking in the rearview mirror and the traffic was just piling up behind us! He finally let us go. I guess he decided he had to get back to work.
Another funny little story is when the U.S. and Canada were doing a joint military exercise. I had 55 U.S. marines on the coach. Each one of them had an automatic weapon (I want to say M-16, but it was so long ago now, and I was honestly not paying that much attention.) We had no ammunition on-board (except the senior enlisted/officer who did have a loaded pistol.). We were stopped at the border going into Canada, and the customs officer asked the standard two questions for back then, "Did you stop at the duty free store?" "No." "Do you have any firearms?" "Yes. A lot of them!" The Buffalo, New York customs border had about 300 buses crossing. The agent just looked at me, shook the cobwebs out of his head and said, "Go on."
When the seller appeared , i was like: YES!!, that's clearly a dutchman. Love my dutch neighbours, believe me you can travell to the middle of nowhere and they'll be there before you, already setting up shop. 😂. They never lost that world travelling&entrepreneurial spirit, it's in their DNA. We kinda envy them for that.
Greetz from little Belgium ❤️🇧🇪🇳🇱🇺🇲
He’s Canadian though but yes 😅
@miles5600 bro sounds Dutch and I should know lol.
@@Broodjemetbeleg yuppp
Well…
The paint job is done in Halmstad. Home of Basshunter and Roxett
and Arch Enemy😊
It seems like they're still in business: maps.app.goo.gl/Cszqm27JEqqRtepRA

@@larsjson1476 home sweet home for over 20 years…
144 = 14 Litre engine + series 4
G = chassi type, in this case heavy long distance transport
The 460 is the stock horsepower.
Finally, someone from the U.S.A that loves our european semi trucks. Love your content, can't wait to see more videos about your Scanias❤️🍻
No one hates them, they're just so dangerous and inefficient, and it's no fun tilting everything inside.
@@Unduplicatablethey’re not dangerous nor are they inefficient…
@Unduplicatable bro what are you even talking about 😂
I think he means sitting so close to the front. No idea about inefficiency, surely he can’t be talking about fuel lol
DUDE!!!! been looking into this for years. Glad you are bringin them to mainstream! Love it!
Honestly, I think that's the best looking one you've picked up, looks damn good in black.
I agree
sure does and does so in Germany too
2:37 This truck was painted in Halmstad Sweden. A small city on the west coast.
Halmstad is known for Per Gessle, the guy in Roxette.
From the Pretty Woman soundtrack. ua-cam.com/video/k2C5TjS2sh4/v-deo.htmlsi=0MKiwWsiAzOEU8oS
Nice 👍 I am a trucker from Sweden so I'm just want to tell you Halmstad is a city in the west coast in Sweden who paint this Scania
Some guy from the shop who painted this is already in the comments lol
I’m so happy that you bring Scania to the US, really showing how great the european trucks are and finally starting to make a revolution there. Wished I could drive a Scania there, would have been so cool. And keep that one in top shape so you can show it to other Americans and make them think twice.
First ever channel that got me so excited about trucks. Gotta love V8 Scanias!! Bruce is also so nice guy that it makes these videos entertaining.
It will do 12 miles to the gallon easy. Because your hearing is set up for 70mph & it’s just the tree are stir unit. Here in the U.K. trucks are geared for weight not speed & most loaded trucks a 110,000 lb or 44,000kg & set up for 56nph. They will run at 56 at 1350rpm
Where as your was at 1100rpm at 70mph
In the U.K. a tractor unit empty on the flat or freeway will easily achieve 12 miles to U.K. gallons
👍 nice!! You know I'm American to the bone (still have 2 Ford IDI trucks) but i always wondered why American engine makers could never make a V8 work in heavy trucks Scania has be doing it forever. Great vid Bruce bring every one you can afford to the US
Detroit Diesel and Cat both made V-8 for their road tractor. We went to the inline 6 configuration for several reasons, one being ease of maintenance and better torque curve. They worked well enough and the DD was popular on up til the 80's.
Scania V8 is more about prestige and one upping Volvo, the other Swedish truckmaker. The moment Volvo puts out bigger and stronger engine, Scania has to go bigger to keep their "King of the Road" title... Volvo probably could ruin Scania, just by using their wealth to make a truck that is ridiculously powerful and have all the features imaginable, including helipad... because Scania would then have to make one with two helipads.
Yes I understand both points I know about the cats I've owned and worked on the 3208s and saw 3408s in action and I know of the Detroits my dad loved them. even the Mack v8s. I'm just saying I'm curious how they make it work fuel mileage and such
Also Renault AE500 magnum ran a Mack EE9 V8.
@@squidcaps4308I don’t think Volvo could ruin Scania that easily. Truckers are just as irrational as everyone else. It would take a long time to change people’s loyalties. Scania could just bore out a bigger capacity V8 and a holographic griffin’s head and they would be fine.
Halmstad is in Sweden, southern part of sweden on the westcoast
Looking forward to you coming to the UK and spending time with TruckerTim, you need to get him to take you to truck show Ciney and/or Assen in a convoy like he did last year. I think it would be worth it.
Ol PegginLeggin showing up was a minty treat!
hell yea, we need more collars with that minty pr**k
Remember my first night away truckin in a Mercedes 814 in deepest darkest Scotland....it was -12 degrees C
The night heater stopped working i had to scrape the windscreen on the inside freezed my ass off that night 😂
Great video, bruce, and cool addition to your fleet
Out of these 5/4 years, knowing Bruce Wilson, I have never seen him as nervous I had as I seen him in the video 26:41 😂😂
What a beautiful truck! Love it! You should definitely go on a coast to coast long haul and record each day!
Love your channel 👍 And really awesome that you have gotten a few Scanias. I was a truck mechanic for 10 years for German trucks M•A•N here in Norway. I've driven Scanias,Volvos,Ivecos ,Daf etc,and a few Americans btw😎 You should get a 90's M•A•N 700 hp. It has an 18,4 litre v10 engine...it's got lots of potensial...Great work Bruce. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
F2000 evo with the 603Hp V10 would be nice! Or a Iveco Eurostar with the 17.2L twin turbo V8.
@@WieDrDerJonge i agree👍🚛
There is one button to lift the rear axle and one weight transfer button,the axle won't lift at certain weight so if you are stuck or on soft ground you can transfer weight to the drive axle if you hold down the weight transfer button.
With the newer R series it will actually show you the weight on each axle on the screen and you can see the weight move from one axle to the other.
I drive a S590, and I can also see the weight on the axles. Even when not all axel are on the ground. With mine DAF, I hade to lower al the axels before I could check the weight.
Watching you from New Zealand Bruce, Scania have a big presents here. I look forward to every video you make on discovering Scania
All Scanias I have driven have the Opticruise. I quite like it.
It does hiccup once in a while by not downshifting enough.
All you have to do is be concious on what your are about to do and adapt your throttle control.
When you know you are going to need power after a turn or something, arrive slower, less gas and it will downshift more.
If you don't, it might not downshift enough, realizing it needs a lower gear, it will downshift...killing the momentum, then needing to downshift even more...killing all momentum!
Autolack Halmstad is a paint shop
The town is like 50 mins from were i live
The Scania logo is quite fun
The outer Cog is a nod to
When they made bikes and so on to look like a cog wheel
The gripen symbol is the coat of arms from were they started in Skåne county in Sweden
And Skåne county in latin is Scania 😉
Love the Scania truck videos. You mentioned that you came through Portal into ND. I live in Bismarck ND, would have loved to see you and the truck. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the new Scania truck. Thanks Bruce.
Bruce says " We're not taking this one apart!" .... umm! What .... you not feeling well Bruce?🤣 you should put that statement on a T- shirt!!
Made me happy to hear, I do hope he fixes it up into perfect shape though. Would be cool if he got a Scandinavian trailer on it as well with 3 axles
Yessss!! I am so glad that you bought another one!! Can't wait to see it more often!
Take care opticruse can be dangerous, once I so it happened with one mechanic, he started the truck in the shop and it's put it self to drive lucky the mechanic had enough situation awareness after the clutch didn't work he pressed hard break and that give hem enough time to turn off the engine, end don't go over the closed shop door which was 2-3 meter away.
The other lift axle is for the trailer lift axle.
You can adjust the tachograph to the tire size, I don't know how it's working but it has some dip switches on it if you want to make it precise.
Wow. So cool. I have not far too Halmstad. Kattegatt side is superb.
The colour and chromes siuts the lorry. With black and chromed semitrailer it will looks 🤘.
Good luck with the new Scania project 😎
Bruce, its an abormal winter up here in Canada. usually this time of the year you wouldnt be able to see the grass in the fields, but this year is crazy we've had almost no snow The ditches are usually filled with snow level to the highway and even higher
Yeah, this year it was crazy in Latvia too. Like one week it went from -26C to +5 to -14 within 48 hours. This whole week temps were above freezing. And it appears it is going to be above 0 till the end of february. That's not normal for this area and time of year.
@@jur4x yep, it’s a wild time! We only dip below freezing over night at the moment, we were +8 the other day! Never in my life have i experienced this. Absolutely surreal.
Heater is on the turn knob for the heating temperature, just turn it to the 3 white arrows and let her blow 🔥👍🏻
3:39
being a driver in Germany and having driven SCANIA a couple of times my guess is that this truck can remote the lift axle on the trailer or it is an indicator panel for the trailer lift axle status
What a great addition to your fleet. You could elongate the frame a bit and use the giant fuel tanks from the white Scania.
U should make these look really good like the ones in Europe and I recommend making the exhausts sounding good and also recommend remapping these,the power could reach narly numbers
Halmstad is my hometown, situated in the westcost of Sweden. Long sandbeaches and a fantastic musictown. The town is more than 700 years old.
My dad worked at Volvo Trucks most of his life. One day he was at one of the office areas and saw a Scania truck being photographed by the driver and another guy. My dad tried to contact the security guys (pre cellphone) in time but the only got like a blurry shot from it leaving. It was a new and not fully announced model. A week later may dad was contacted by a guy at office, they got a better shot of it sent to them, from the drivers perspective.
Nice to see that all Scanias come from the Netherlands or belonged to a Dutch person. I come from the Netherlands myself. and I like that these trucks are now driving around on the other side of the world.
Is via nl naar canada gegaan maar denk dat de auto van origine een zweed was aangezien hij daar overgespoten is en het een tandemasser is.
is door vsb in druten naar holland gehaald
Any pictures or other details you can share with Bruce?
I dont think this came from netherlands i think this one originally came from Sweden it was also repainted in south of sweden Auto lack Halmstad
@@nzxt1234 it was imported in holland by vsb trucks and parts and offered up for sale, exported by them to after being sold to canada
We’ve been having some weird weather up here. Normally we would have 10 feet of snow or probably a bit more. It’s dumb not use to it cause I wanna go snowboarding and snowmobiling in the mountains. It’s been a crappy year
The button at 3:26 is for controlling wether the air conditioner should pull air from the outside or not. Really useful if you are driving through smoke etc.
Hi Bruce you can change the callerbration for the Tacograph speed open it up and in behind there is a hatch with a seal if you take it off you will find some small switches and certain settings will change the speed
So many parts iv'e done on that truck, Can`t even tell how proud i am over my part in scanias products.
The Scania next to the one you bought is an old rien Meijndert truck from the Netherlands 👌🏼 good to see it's stil in use!
The old Wasta heaters do tick, it’s the pump the pump has it taken it. They only got rid of the tick in the last few years it’s nothing to worry about
Congratulations, Bruce, on your purchase of your new truck!
Hope you enjoyed your time in the great white north. Greetings from Canada.
You should get the heater working by turning the heat adjuster fully up and right, then you should have a panel on the wall behind the driver seat tu tufn on the heater
Ahh ok thanks!
You see the White steamtype logo, turn it there..and the same logo is on the button in the panel that starts the heater
Thank you for the video Bruce and I hope your trip was good.Take care of you.
Thanks 👍
I am glad you guys in America are getting to see what we got in Europe. Scanias are the best of trucking in Europe and i hope more of them will make it across the pond
That's awesome Bruce love seeing these trucks in the US
The new addition to the Scania fleet is absolutly mint 👌, love Peg , watched alot of his vid’s , really looking forward to a bunch of amazing content with the new Scania , congrats Bruce 👍✌️
Amazing Wilson!! The Scania revolution started!! I´m from Venezuela, Amazing thats things happen in the USA
Cool. This truck is most likely started off doing work in Sweden. It's been painted by a company in Halmstad, a city in southern Sweden.
Tri drives in Australia are used for Roadtrains, i.e., triple trailers in tri and now quad trailer axle groups of about 120 + metric tons GCVM.
-YES! -YES! -YES!
Finally some REALLY intresting SCANIA content from Bruce! (Almost gave up hope there -for a little while...) SO NICE to see Bruce behind a steering wheel of a righteous SCANIA truck again!!!
That old, black 144 is a beatiful truck. Look 4-ward -to seeing that thing completely DONE -and pulling some real loads on American raods. As a European trucker i'm SO EXITED to hear from real american truckers who will get to work with it; how this 144 SCANIA compares to the US Trucks.
Also: SO GLAD to hear that Bruce is coming back to visit Sweden -and SCANIA again. Hopefully for what so many of us wish 4: (Getting some newer SCANIA trucks in the hands of good US truckers. That would hands down be FREAKIN' ULTRA SWEET!)
used to plow snow with an early r500 opticruise, with the plow down i had to use the clutchpedal between every gear in lowrange or else it would stall itself
Hey bruce good day from norway but remeber that if you tune it to mutsh the idle will be realy bad but runs good when you are a little over idle it runs good and has all the horsepower
The 3 circles are for lifting/lowering the 3rd trailer axle. EU trailers have 1 movable axle like the truck. In case of very heavy cargo.
What ever you do with this Trucks, the Best of my Day is to see the Videos. Best Wishes from Germany
After been working on Scania in a Scania workshop in Sweden for 11 years I can say this is a good piece of a old truck. Take care of it 😃
Autolack is in Halmstad on the south west coast of Sweden. Its an hour from me so i have actually delivered stuff to them. Very cool to see that sticker all the way in canada.
I have experience with this Scania model. Super reliable and sturdy truck!
Bruce. If you you have a problem with the window motor you can strip the passenger side motor on your first truck for parts. All the internal parts are interchangeable except the alloy housings whish are left and right handed. second hand passenger are usually in better condition than a drivers motor just swap the parts you need.
Hey Bruce, the heater is controlled with the little handheld that is located up at the ladder in the passenger side wall but you should not use it full time at night because it would drain your batteries. I programmed mine to heat for 30 minutes every 2 hours.
You should look for a 146L, it is equipped with a 16.4 Liter engine.
3:34 it's for circulating air in the cab or shut it and keep the air inside
Hi there.🍻
I drove and kind of lived in one 164L 480 HP with a cab just like this one for 11years. It was an amazing beast with a v8 engine. I left it with more than 2 000 000 km with no engine problems.
Love Scanias. They're the best trucks with an amazing quality build, and also strong as f@#c.
Enjoy your trucks man.
Cheers from Portugal 🍻😉🍻
Big singles are really popular on European spec tractors. They do a lot of roading with their equipment and most roads are too narrow for duals
Looks nice glad your getting into the scania Bruce can’t wait to see what coming next mate 😋🔥👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧
If you are planning to travel to Finland, it would be great to bring you wood loggin in the car. The car is a Scania 730😎 You have only see the top of the mountain when we are speaking about scanias👍
Lähetä sähköpostia sille ja kutsu kylään (ja saunaan) 😅
it's been very mild winter in Canada from what I've heard from locals, this time of the year, Prairie Provinces should be having plenty of snow and temperatures way below freezing but thanks to a warm jetstream from the Pacific Ocean, it's abnormally warm now
Opticruise is on my opinion the best invention ever. You have all the advantages of manual clutch on reversing long trailers and kreeping off-road conditions but on road no need to think about gears at all ! Greetings from Finland !
Tri-drive trucks everywhere up here in Alberta, Canada. Our weight limits are a lot higher here though. Im in Edmonton here, hope the trip was a good one!
That's cool can't wait to see what Tim and there crew think of them
Another great video thanks for educating and entertaining us with some amazing content .
Loving every video you put out Bruce, especially the Scania. All you need now is a T- Cab.
There is significant differences between frame beams, in thickneses and dimensions. G is only one with double frame and if I remember right model C frame is same that G but G just got that double frame inside.
"Chassis class
L = Long-distance operations on even, surfaced roads. high payload capacity within legal weight limits
D = Short-distance operation on even, surfaced roads. High payload capacity within legal weight limits
C =Short-distance operations on extremely uneven, loosely surfaced & unsurfaced roads. High ground clearance suitable for off-road construction operations
G = Short & long distance operations on unevenly surfaced or unsurfaced road. Technical payload capacity higher than legally permitted"
Your rear diff locker button should be the one with the logo represented by a cross between dually tires (on the right of the green rear axle lift button).
The G describes the cab type. It was the lowest sitting cab for the 144, leading to an relatively high motor tunnel on the inside.
Great to see that this great piece of engineering is also recognized across the atlantic, i'm a little jealous so keep up the great work!
I really don't like cabovers. But these trucks a freaking awesome. Hope i get to see one in person one day
Hi Bruce, she looks really nice for her age. Like your channel. It's a shame that you can not import the newer ones to the US. Take care and have a nice trip home.
Drove pretty much through my yard. Just a stones throw from North Portal/Estevan. I saw you new video had a coal hauler in it, if you woulda continued through Estevan they have a quite few older mining equipment set up for display from the 50s , 60s.
You can get the spedo calibrated in the back when you fould it out there is a plomed mousepiano should be some workshop that can adjust it . I have scania R470hpi 6*4 from 2006 with Allison 4500hd air suspension all around 29000 kg total weight runns really nice regards from north Sweden.
I love watching these roadtrips! Great videos Bruce.
Autolack basically means auto paint in Swedish. Halmstad is a small city in southwestern Sweden.
29:13 Looks like Bruce is going to Sweden to sign up contract with Scania and became first official dealer in USA.😁
First of the century*
Super excited about driving European cabover in US! My dream! 🎉🎉Thanks for your video.
Sharp purchase Bruce. Very nice old Scania.
Safe trip home Bruce stay safe out there ,can’t wait for the next one
G is for the Chassis type, the 4-series chassis code was C, D, L or G chassis type. C for construction, D for Distribution, L for Long Distance, and G for Heavy Duty.
Fun that it's actually painted by a Swedish company and it then ended up in Canada.
J for junk??
the other switch take the weight off the lift axle for setting off in wet or snowy weather and puts the weight back on when you go over 20mph 👍nice unit
Good to know!
Me and the wife Came over last year got some pictures of blue collar didn’t come on your land or didn’t want to bother you but checkers was a treat thanks mate got a soft spot for peterbilt truck from the uk 🇬🇧
Coming again twice this year to the us 🇺🇸 so if you need any part just let me know
