American trucks are not just 10 years behind, they are more than 15. I am the third generation of truck drivers in my family, my uncles, my grandparents, my cousins, my father... We are all truck drivers, all my life surrounded by American trucks in Mexico, now I was able to test a Scania V8, well actually I was able to buy my second Scania recently, I won't go back to an American truck even if I'm drunk, they are authentic junk on wheels and if you don't want to see it then you are completely blind, as much as it hurts you to read this, open your eyes once and for all, just like I did. I make a lot more money, my back doesn't hurt like before, the truck is much safer, I am much more competitive, I humiliate my friends with their W900 with Cat C15 and C16 engines, my old ISX 600 seemed like a golf car in torque compared to the 620hp of the Scania. It's a different fucking world.
Scania and Volvo would embarrass any other truck manufacturer when it comes to pulling power, those 2 are only rivaled by the larger more specialized variants of Kenworths used in Australia.
@@Lonewolf8012 I'd rather pull the load by hand while being hit with a shoe, as to drive a European truck. Or one of them pitiful excuse of an automobile they have over there. TRUCK GANG!!!!
I’ve been driving trucks for more than 26 yrs. And I’ve thought about this upgrades a long time ago but never see them here on American trucks, but I must admit that European trucks are ahead on this features, common USA we must improve on this and more!!
@@jackrabbit4383the Europeans can't seem to accept the fact, that we've had all the same options they do for decades, we just don't need any of that stuff💁♂️
Most of these systems have been in the UK for decades, the truck manufacturers in the US seem intent on keeping as much money as possible for shareholders and executives and completely neglect research and development, if it ain't broke don't fix it can't be sustained forever, most US trucks are nearly identical to those in the 50s all thanks to corporate greed
All automotive industry in US is not lagging 10 years behind, but 15. Look at all monstrously pick up trucks they drive. Useless thirsty trucks. Cheap interiors. What in Europe is considered scratchy hard plastic, over the pond is considered normal in most of their cars. A lot of the trucks make more noise and smoke than speed, while in Europe is opposite.
Sure mate, cause the average car that a European can afford like a Dacia has good plastics inside. Oh come on. American cars may have worse interiors but they are also much cheaper you know?
The adjustable suspension not existing in America is wild. How do y'all deal with uneven terrain, large humps in the road, getting on and off boats with weird ramp angles? No wonder you keep seeing trucks in the US getting caught on train tracks. A european just needs to inflate his truck suspension (maybe a bit of his trailer suspension too) and get that landing gear way up in the air and everything is just fine. How expensive can it possibly be to put this feature on trucks in America?
@eliasgeorgakopoulos8537 dude, most of us don't do any of that stuff over here. Now the train tracks is a different matter all together. Most of the rail lines was built before the roads was even built. So it's like the infrastructure was built around the railroad tracks. But yeah I see where you are coming from on that end. It would be a big help to be able to adjust the suspension to get over the tracks💁♂️
Bro, don’t get too full of yourself A trucks a truck No, some of that stuff he mentioned about the landing gears with motors But what if the motor go out? Would a switch break? And the side curtain thing is because a lot of places in Europe don’t have loading docks so they unload from the side And let’s talk about those tall, cramped little cabs and that Volvo engine, he mentioned it was here in North America, but it went away because of reliability issues
I don’t understand what’s so funny I’m stating facts About 15 years ago The max force engine which is either based on a Scania or Man platform nearly put International out of business
@@terrellscaife2411 It had reliability issues because it was made in the US with poor manufacturing. We don't have any problems with Volvo engines over here. Quite the opposite, actually. Volvo engines tend to be the ones that last the longest.
You don’t make a difference where it was made. It was still based on the same design and also European vehicles are not known for their reliability over complex and expensive to work on
When an american trucker has spent a week riding a Volvo or Scania he'll sell his mother to buy one of those Eurotrucks. Btw: Nowadays those scary electronics some talk about are very reliable on those things, they are also way ahead of what some think.
It is like aero engines. Up to about 20 years ago there was a law that all US built general aviation aircraft needed to have engines built in the US. This law, dating back to WW2, had the idea that in case of war private planes might be confiscated by the US military and they did not want to be dependent on foreign spare parts. So all the Cessnas, Pipers and Beechcrafts were equipped with engines from just two manufacturers: Continental and Lycoming. These two manufacturers, due to lack of competition, rested on their laurels and their engines practically stayed the same gas guzzlers since the late 1940s. In meantime mEuropean manufacturers like Rotax have developed modern, fuel efficient engines. When the law was repealed, they got into the American market and the established companies had a big issue in catching up.
There is a shortage of truck drivers in Europe. Many trucks and trailers post signs like "Help wanted" or "We want you to join our team, call XXXXXXXX".
Even though, speed limit is high for trucks in Us, Us brands still do not provide retarder system (not engine break) even as optional. Why they prioritize cost over security. As a truck driver ,this is a big disappointment for me
It looks like last few videos tells me that truck topia have been looking at bruce wilson Scnia videos and some of european videos and volvos ! Are you goinna go see the next gen scania 770 while its on tour in the US ?
I don't look to his videos anymore. He takes a European truck to the US to show how truck are in Europe and then he fucks them up with American styling !
@@mrterror8134it's still more powerful than Volvos 780, because of how they count the torque and HP. Volvo measures at the crank while Scania measures at the wheels.
I just found scania has had disc brakes since 1996 we just now getting them in 2024 and some manufacturers only do disc brakes on the front wheels 😅😅😅😅
American truck driver here. I do agree that European trucks are more advance and more capable than American trucks, but I do not see the practical use of a 700+ HP engine where I drive. Maybe out west in the Colorado and mountain areas I see it. But all this banter between the two styles of trucks are just getting old if I am honest, I like my truck, many many many people don't due to it's ugly look and crappy interior design. But it is the truck that I learned how to drive manual, how to drive heavy loaded, it's the truck I learned everything I know in. 2000 Sterling L9500 with a MBE 4000. So why does everyone care about all this? I get it I get it. I bet money that a Scania, DAF, Renault, any of them could do great over here in the U.S. And trucks like Kenworth, Freightliner, and Western Star would be a struggle over there. My point is, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy the road anyway you wish.
Here in Sweden 95% of logging trucks and excavation/asphalt trucks are either Scania or Volvo. Many of those trucks have over 600hp. The more powerful engines are also more fuel efficient and save time. When Scania tested and compared the 730hp and the 770hp versions in a roughly 3km long 8% incline, the 770hp truck used 7cl less fuel than the 730hp one. And that's when fully loaded at 64 tonnes (141k lbs).
In fact most trucks in Europe are between 500 and 600 HP, only a few of them are 700+ HP especially for heavy load since some countries allow them to carry more than 44 metric tons.
Nicely put and your right,I drive a MAN diesel automatic in the UK and the gearbox is slow to change and when it does selects to high a gear,yes I know it can be changed to manual but also they're constantly going into the garage with sensor faults,the mechanic said there trying to cram to much technology into them it's overload,the firm I work for has hundreds of trucks and most of these MAN trucks start getting problems around the 2 year mark.
Those features should not be available on demand in North America; those features should be standard like it is in Europe. But in North America those features are kept away from the truck drivers by the truck manufacturers. That way the truck manufacturers can build a truck low cost and sell it for high prizes. I bet that many, if not all, truck drivers in North America don't even know what kind of features we have on our European trucks and what is available on the market. The people in the US are kept "dumb" for a reason.....
0:51 Correction for the American watchers - that 780hp Europen truck engine works out to around 822hp American - because America measure HP differently - Also the 780hp engine can be tuned to 1,500hp Europen Note: Top Gear they measured Richard Hammond Mustang (it was the 500hp version) and it was done on the Top Gear track via a dino and returned an HP of only 447hp
Iv said this before and I suppose it goes here too, if it hasn’t got stealth capabilities or can carry missiles the good ol US of A doesn’t care about making it any better.
10 years but it's more like 25 to 30 years Bruce Wilson has a 2025 Scania S770 compared to a 2025 Peterbilt 579 on his channel and you really fall off your chair when you see the difference not only the technology but also the driver comfort of euro trucks is now top but the american trucks are catching up but I think that most truckers in america are still holding on to the old familiar and that it will take a while before america is on par with europe
I've been watching his channel, and watched when he went to the Scania plant. The assembly plant there is light years ahead of the US. Let's see how long it takes VW/Scania to revolutionize Navistar.
In Europe, trucks are no longer limited to 44 tons, as they are now moving to the new 60 tons limit. This would really make use of the power delivered by these monster scania/volvo/Man/etc. engines.
A lot of these features such as the steering rear axles are needed for Europe's narrow roads and congested cities. We don't need these things in America, most American truck owners consider them to be just something else to break. American truck owners want a simple truck that's cheap to buy, cheap to operate and easy to maintain. The largest operators may buy 1000+ trucks a year and don't want pay for a bunch of expensive "gee whiz" gadgetry that they don't need or want.
Hi, abouf the steering rear axle, there are some " fail " videos showing trucks turning/cornering in towns on smaller roads damaging parking vehicles or guards or just use the pedastrian walkways(?) and hit water hydrants! I think that would be a reason to use these " helpers "!?
Actually, in Australia, where they run American rigs mostly, truckers prefer them over Europeans because it is simpler to fix in the wild, and it always comes with a crumple zone towards kangaroos alike
That's a fair comparison, in Australia and New Zealand there are Japanese, European and Australian versions of North American trucks, also asphalted areas are along the coastline for Australia, inside the outback long nose, on asphalted coastline mixed like New Zealand. I hope i get it right, otherwise I will appreciate correction
Tho the crumple zone thing makes no sense unless you plan on impacting a flat wall...since most threats that you can hit literally impact UNDER THE CAB.
Different production lines tho I think. Them Aussies still build the American trucks the old way, tough and strong, present north American trucks have poor build quality in comparison.
Don't get it.. US trucks looks amazing.. but why no more modern features?? Farmers have John Deere/Police Dodge charger/ Delivery - Rivian.. Looks more like the us manufacturs don't give a shit for there customers and have no competition..
European trucks are equipped with digital tachograph so you need a digital tachograph card and it has a chip in it, and it stores the past 3 months data, so if you go over your driving and/or working hours, you are screwed.
If US trucks swapped to cab forward, the tractor will be shorter, even with a full sized living set up. Result, longer trailers yet staying within length limits.
Overall length restrictions were abolished in the US in 1983, eliminating the need for cabovers. Only the length of the trailers is federally regulated to 48 feet (14.63m) although all 50 states allow 53 foot (16.15m) trailers by state law. American and Canadian drivers want a hood in front of them for a better ride and in case of an accident.
@@u686st7thing is a modern european cabover truck is a better ride then the conventional since they have air suspension in the cab that take the bumbs
@@u686st7Correct. Still , Paccar also own DAF as well as Kenworth and Peterbilt. So , you find a lot of Daf component on Kenworth and Peterbilts depending on models. Engine , transmission , steering wheels , door handles , stalks etc. They are not owned by europeans but the end result is almost the same.
New Zealand’s main islands (North and South) and Mainland Australia feature cabovers and cab forwards, but from videos I’ve seen smaller cab forwards than in Canada or the contiguous United States.
newer trucks in the US have enough of crazy electronics on that lot of drivers dont want. too quiet, hard to shift manual trans. automatics cant handle lot of power. not easy to work on yourself. too expensive. dont need cameras watching you. lol. Lot of guys would rather drive the older ones. most dont want all that crazy extra electronics. They want to be able to make it home before the thing derates or shuts down.
@@stevenseagal6861 They're exclusively automatics. Volvo and Scania don't make manuals anymore. Volvo quit like in the mid 2010s and Scania stopped making them in 2021.
The most powerful and heaviest pulling trucks in the world are autos. Just because americans can't build automated manuals doesn't mean all autos are bad. The Volvo IShift and Scania OptiCruise are the best transmissions in the world and there's no room for debate.
US drivers don’t want them because they don’t understand them. My Mack has 500hp and an auto, so right at the top of the US Hp range. US drivers are not the brightest bulbs in the box, I know because I not only drive with some now but have grown up my entire life around them. So many are high school drop outs and life long screw ups that cling on to their manuals because that’s the only thing they got. There are smart drivers but I’d say for every smart one is 3 that are not so.
It's all about the bottom line. The manufacturers can get away with it as the laws are as old as the trucks. No need to improve if you can make a huge profit with what you sell.
I went into a bar the other day and met a neanderthal and a cro-magnon. I showed them an American truck and a European one and asked which one they would prefer. The neanderthal chose the American while the cro-magnon took the European. Go figure.
I think a lot of the advancement in tech, safety and more horsepower has to do with the geographic landscape of Europe in comparison to the USA. Europe tends to be more urbanized, more population dense and have more cold mountainous landscapes
No, i would say here in Europe whe drive with heavier loads !! Here in the Netherlands whe are allowed to drive with 50 metric tons. Even more in Scandinavia !
I pity the US truck driver. In the US, manufacturers hold sway over regulators so modernisation of design to improve safety, efficiency, driver comfort etc which requires investment has not happened. As a result the US trucks which is a pile of **** in comparison and is at least 40 years behind.
I wouldn't say they are 10 years behind. The problem is rather the customers who can be divided into two groups. The first are large transport companies with large fleets that do not want to invest too much in new vehicles. And the other are, in large part, quite conservative owner-operators who do not want to hear about driving anything other than the actually quite archaic Peterbilt 389 or Kenworth W900. I would also forget that when they hear the word "Volvo VNL" they react very nervously and sometimes even shout "BUYYY MUURRRICCCAAANNN!!!!! By the way, I don't know what they have to do with this Volvo as it is currently the best truck on the American market, comfortable, convenient and in no way inferior to its European counterparts. Especially if we are talking about the latest, just introduced generation of this model. By the way, many of the things you mentioned are not European standard at all and it is easy to find even new trucks without most of these things. Not to mention the automatic trailer coupling system, which is not available at all because it is in the testing phase.
Ey dont say anything about my Pete with Cat 3406E and Straight Pipes, best Murican stuff evarrrrrrr. I drive it everyday - in American Truck Simulator 😅 I also got a Volvo VNL with ober 100k virtual miles on it 🤣
@@groorg3430 Speaking of American Truck Simulator, I once drove a European Scania 164 with a Longline cabin from mods, I'm crazy xD But then the mod was no longer updated for newer versions of the game, so I became a Volvo enjoyer.
No... The VNL is still inferior to the FH in terms of everything They did the VNL dirty. I know i know... Since thats how the US market works, there's nothing we can do bout it
We don’t actually need any of the things that they have on euro trucks. They are just driver comfort and accessibility things. Aka an extra thing to break.
@ you realize that not all drivers just drive long distances on the highway right? Do you think a garbage man who is in and out of the truck 200x per day cares about comfort features?
Its certainly not because it cant be done on the American trucks i believe in Europe we've had to maximise engine capacity, cab size , unit size and so on due to smaller/tight roads rules and regulations. What would a driver who drives a conventional change or add to it. Certainly good enough engine's and allot more room in the sleepers.
I am not a trucker, but I've seen several videos now with people saying the exact oppposite. That there's no comparison between European truck cabs with their air suspension on all for corners, and the typical US truck cab that rests on hinges in the front.
Europe would go with US design if the could as they are safer. We had CEO until the Kennedy Hawkins law changed it in early 1980's. I worked a lot on the research of it. All you that like the Europe cab with a sleeper cab, I bet you will love dumping it all over with you open the cab. Roads in most of Europe is the issue.
it is true the lack of restrictions on tractor length offers advantages in sleeping compartment size and having a nose as a crumple zone. But regarding the last, European trucks have airbags, a retarder and electronic safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place.
American truck manufacturers are 10-20 years behind most European manufacturers. 99% of industry innovations come from Europe and more than half of those come from Sweden (Scania and Volvo).
By the way, I don't understand why European pickup trucks aren't more popular in America, they're more practical in every way. and they usually give examples like American trucks are nicer and have bigger sleeping cabins😅.
Chicken tax. A retaliatory 25% tariff on European pick up trucks. Europe isn't much into pickups anyway. And like EnjoyFirefighting here, they want generally want BIG like the Ford F150.
tacographs have in one form oe another been european wide for getting on 40 years,first the round tachograph disc and now the digi card, air suspension has been around for years too, along with the adjustable height for trailer hook ups, miles better than us trucks all smoke and bluster & removing of emissions controls, i bet most states dont have annual safety checks (MOTs) either
The problem with all the nice gizmos is that sometimes they don’t work and that makes the whole truck not work. Europe has bigger engines available. Good for them are they needed on 95% of trucks? Would Cummins make them if there was a market? Sure they would. Cab over vs conventional? If you were ever an o/o and owned a cab over you’d never want one again. Working on them really sucks.
Comfort, noise, reliability (excluding scania cough cough) better mpg and so on, american trucks really suck, its just noise, dealing with the floppiest shifter ever (ofc you like it as you are experienced in handling other peoples long sticks) and being super UNSAFE.
try test-drive a 2024 Barracuda Hellcat if you even able too, and then decide which is the better "Freedom" Car, or Maybe a 2025 Corvette, then will talk :)
@Groza_Dallocort i know this Video... im talking about the big sleeper trucks .theres no Chance any Euro truck comes close...if you compare 2 trucks ,and one is an absolute top version you should be fair and choose the other top version too
The question is, what is better and what is behind? I think thats US trucks are built as custumer want. You get what you want. The last word is customers word. I,am europaen and i‘am truck driver since 1989. The europaen truck brands say what you want! For flipflop trucker the europaen way is the right way.
@r11tc thats bullshit. I have enough pain from european seats in trucks. It‘s not all better in europ. And yes, the automatic in trucks are shit. The reason for automaticle gear boxes they are not expensive and every one can move the truck. The europaen way is manual gearboxes automaticle, the most us trucks whit automatic are fulltime automatic whit torque converter. If you mean us trucks behind, the Volvo vnl 680 is a fullzise us truck. If the other brands are less komfortable, why Volvo aren‘t the only player in north america?
European trucks aren't ahead of American trucks, because America isn't going to put $500,000 of electric batteries and automatic tarp spreaders and the like into every truck.
Lame. Only few European trucks are actually electric or have automated tarp spreaders. This video focuses mainly on regular semi's and doesn't even mention all the features of the European ones.
The more high tech these trucks are the more they brake down. Cab overs are way to small too. When your elbow can hit your bed while you are in the driver's seat. That is way to small. You non truck driver's try living in a 3x3 or smaller area for months to year's at a time.
Most EU countries don't allow for drivers to spend weekend rests in the cabs. I drive a 2017 Volvo FH540 Dual Clutch and it's gone 900000km. I start on either sunday afternoon or mondy morning and work until either thursday or friday before I get home for the weekend. So we don't spend months or years in our cabs as you say Americans do, which I highly doubt. The absolute majority of American OTR truckers probably still get home at least twice per month.
I dont know much about American Trucks, I just like how they sound and look on the in and outside. Guess you desire what you do not have but i can assure you Trucks in the EU are very boring they are just a tool not culture like in the USA. Be more gratetful about what you have.
American trucks look like 70sh but not like modern! What a point to have a truck that looks like a museum exponante while it is very slow and unsafe? It is so ridiculous that safety of it considered by how truck survive after hitting the car but car will be destroyed! What a stupidity! And this is the main point why so to speak American trucks have a nose
Not true. European truck are not as advanced as you think. There are almost no automated legs. Typical European trucks has only 460-500hp. And there is no megawat charging stations in eureope jet
Trucking giants are after fuel economy they set the bar for everyone else..more power lower fuel economy..you can thank Schneider,jb.hunt, swift, wener, usa truck. Walmart's Trucking fleet..just to name a few..some manufacturers still use drums instead of disk brakes on the tandems cause its cheaper. My last truck was a 2024 freightliner it only had disc brakes on steer axel..24years otr coast to coast border to border if you want you can spec your own truck to be way more up to date .your disingenuous not telling the whole truth 😅
Most of these features are available in the U.S. What isn’t available is not needed. Demand dictates everything. Even still, you can buy a truck from any manufacturer that comes with all of these features. You should also consider that the companies are all the same. Daimler owns Freightliner and Western Star. Volvo owns Mack. Traton owns International. Paccar (Peterbilt and Kenworth) owns DAF. All technologies are equal. The markets are the determining factor.
There is 0 innovation in the USA cause the people don't know what is good, cause the manufacturers realized that offering cheap shit for double the price bring better income.

To be honest 700 plus hp trucks in europe are rare to see, most of them are 500 hp. Also American trucks drive faster i think 110 kmh? In europe they are limited to 88 kmh. When something breaks on new eu truck there is no chance fixing it by yourself while american trucks are still simple and mechanical. And at the end of it i think american trucks have soul and look awesome. My 2 cents.
BS vid… All those “USA doesn’t have” do in fact exist; they’re out there if one looks. And why would Europe need a 700hp truck when the truck speed limit is something like 55mph, like California in the USA, but everywhere….
Because ... 1) Europeans have mountains they don't want to crawl uphill at low speeds 2) they're running roadtrains 3) can use standard from the line trucks for overweight loads without the need for special orders or adaptions
Just more anti American rhetoric from biased non Americans in the comments. Different trucks for different jobs, terrain, etc. You're comparing apples to hamburgers.

The Volvo engines, even in those year models were still every bit as reliable as in the previous generations, but the Ford engines were absolute garbage. Underpowered and unreliable.

The adjustable suspension not existing in America is wild. How do y'all deal with uneven terrain, large humps in the road, getting on and off boats with weird ramp angles?
No wonder you keep seeing trucks in the US getting caught on train tracks. A european just needs to inflate his truck suspension (maybe a bit of his trailer suspension too) and get that landing gear way up in the air and everything is just fine.
How expensive can it possibly be to put this feature on trucks in America?
@eliasgeorgakopoulos8537 dude, most of us don't do any of that stuff over here.
Now the train tracks is a different matter all together. Most of the rail lines was built before the roads was even built. So it's like the infrastructure was built around the railroad tracks. But yeah I see where you are coming from on that end. It would be a big help to be able to adjust the suspension to get over the tracks💁♂️
A train can stop faster than American trucks
Bro, don’t get too full of yourself A trucks a truck No, some of that stuff he mentioned about the landing gears with motors But what if the motor go out? Would a switch break? And the side curtain thing is because a lot of places in Europe don’t have loading docks so they unload from the side And let’s talk about those tall, cramped little cabs and that Volvo engine, he mentioned it was here in North America, but it went away because of reliability issues
@@terrellscaife2411 🤣🤣
I don’t understand what’s so funny I’m stating facts About 15 years ago The max force engine which is either based on a Scania or Man platform nearly put International out of business
@@terrellscaife2411 It had reliability issues because it was made in the US with poor manufacturing. We don't have any problems with Volvo engines over here. Quite the opposite, actually. Volvo engines tend to be the ones that last the longest.
You don’t make a difference where it was made. It was still based on the same design and also European vehicles are not known for their reliability over complex and expensive to work on
When an american trucker has spent a week riding a Volvo or Scania he'll sell his mother to buy one of those Eurotrucks.
Btw: Nowadays those scary electronics some talk about are very reliable on those things, they are also way ahead of what some think.
America is 10 years behind on everything that involves new technology, besides military weapons .🤦🏿♂️
It is like aero engines. Up to about 20 years ago there was a law that all US built general aviation aircraft needed to have engines built in the US. This law, dating back to WW2, had the idea that in case of war private planes might be confiscated by the US military and they did not want to be dependent on foreign spare parts. So all the Cessnas, Pipers and Beechcrafts were equipped with engines from just two manufacturers: Continental and Lycoming. These two manufacturers, due to lack of competition, rested on their laurels and their engines practically stayed the same gas guzzlers since the late 1940s.
In meantime mEuropean manufacturers like Rotax have developed modern, fuel efficient engines. When the law was repealed, they got into the American market and the established companies had a big issue in catching up.
Tbh the US is more like 30 years behind, like the air suspension I had that as standard on my Volvo 8*2 in 1997 plus I could raise axel 2 and 4.
There is a shortage of truck drivers in Europe. Many trucks and trailers post signs like "Help wanted" or "We want you to join our team, call XXXXXXXX".
I would buy a eurotruck for the suspension adjust ALONE. Screw absolutely everything else.
Even though, speed limit is high for trucks in Us, Us brands still do not provide retarder system (not engine break) even as optional. Why they prioritize cost over security. As a truck driver ,this is a big disappointment for me
It looks like last few videos tells me that truck topia have been looking at bruce wilson Scnia videos and some of european videos and volvos ! Are you goinna go see the next gen scania 770 while its on tour in the US ?
770 is already an old one to😂

@@mrterror8134it's still more powerful than Volvos 780, because of how they count the torque and HP. Volvo measures at the crank while Scania measures at the wheels.
@@Xirque666 i know. But everyone sees numbers poorly so no one knows that

The US Trucks are more like 20-30 years behind.
I just found scania has had disc brakes since 1996 we just now getting them in 2024 and some manufacturers only do disc brakes on the front wheels 😅😅😅😅
The American truck manufacturer has not been pushed significantly enough to make any real meaningful improvements
European Trucks Looks Superb So Modern. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
American truck driver here. I do agree that European trucks are more advance and more capable than American trucks, but I do not see the practical use of a 700+ HP engine where I drive. Maybe out west in the Colorado and mountain areas I see it. But all this banter between the two styles of trucks are just getting old if I am honest, I like my truck, many many many people don't due to it's ugly look and crappy interior design. But it is the truck that I learned how to drive manual, how to drive heavy loaded, it's the truck I learned everything I know in. 2000 Sterling L9500 with a MBE 4000. So why does everyone care about all this? I get it I get it. I bet money that a Scania, DAF, Renault, any of them could do great over here in the U.S. And trucks like Kenworth, Freightliner, and Western Star would be a struggle over there. My point is, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy the road anyway you wish.
Here in Sweden 95% of logging trucks and excavation/asphalt trucks are either Scania or Volvo. Many of those trucks have over 600hp. The more powerful engines are also more fuel efficient and save time. When Scania tested and compared the 730hp and the 770hp versions in a roughly 3km long 8% incline, the 770hp truck used 7cl less fuel than the 730hp one. And that's when fully loaded at 64 tonnes (141k lbs).
In fact most trucks in Europe are between 500 and 600 HP, only a few of them are 700+ HP especially for heavy load since some countries allow them to carry more than 44 metric tons.
Some people in Europe who's owning those V8 770 and D16 780 just want to flex /showing off/ their big engine truck
these strong diesels are handy when pulling overweight loads or road trains ... even in rather flat areas, but even more when it goes uphill
Nicely put and your right,I drive a MAN diesel automatic in the UK and the gearbox is slow to change and when it does selects to high a gear,yes I know it can be changed to manual but also they're constantly going into the garage with sensor faults,the mechanic said there trying to cram to much technology into them it's overload,the firm I work for has hundreds of trucks and most of these MAN trucks start getting problems around the 2 year mark.
Those features should not be available on demand in North America; those features should be standard like it is in Europe.
But in North America those features are kept away from the truck drivers by the truck manufacturers.
That way the truck manufacturers can build a truck low cost and sell it for high prizes.
I bet that many, if not all, truck drivers in North America don't even know what kind of features we have on our European trucks and what is available on the market.
The people in the US are kept "dumb" for a reason.....
0:51 Correction for the American watchers - that 780hp Europen truck engine works out to around 822hp American - because America measure HP differently - Also the 780hp engine can be tuned to 1,500hp Europen
Note: Top Gear they measured Richard Hammond Mustang (it was the 500hp version) and it was done on the Top Gear track via a dino and returned an HP of only 447hp
Iv said this before and I suppose it goes here too, if it hasn’t got stealth capabilities or can carry missiles the good ol US of A doesn’t care about making it any better.
10 years but it's more like 25 to 30 years
Bruce Wilson has a 2025 Scania S770 compared to a 2025 Peterbilt 579 on his channel and you really fall off your chair when you see the difference not only the technology but also the driver comfort of euro trucks is now top
but the american trucks are catching up but I think that most truckers in america are still holding on to the old familiar
and that it will take a while before america is on par with europe
I've been watching his channel, and watched when he went to the Scania plant. The assembly plant there is light years ahead of the US. Let's see how long it takes VW/Scania to revolutionize Navistar.
Scania never offered their V8s in the US when they sold trucks here 1986-1993. Even then the V8 couldn't meed US emissions standards.
10 years behind ? more likely 20 years behind !
Wait until you get into the headlight systems.
Look in to array, adaptive headlights
In Europe, trucks are no longer limited to 44 tons, as they are now moving to the new 60 tons limit. This would really make use of the power delivered by these monster scania/volvo/Man/etc. engines.
Europe allows the weight but not the size, America allows the size but not the weight.
Sweden has went past the 60 ton limit way ago. 74 ton nowdays
A lot of these features such as the steering rear axles are needed for Europe's narrow roads and congested cities. We don't need these things in America, most American truck owners consider them to be just something else to break. American truck owners want a simple truck that's cheap to buy, cheap to operate and easy to maintain. The largest operators may buy 1000+ trucks a year and don't want pay for a bunch of expensive "gee whiz" gadgetry that they don't need or want.
Hi, abouf the steering rear axle, there are some " fail " videos showing trucks turning/cornering in towns on smaller roads damaging parking vehicles or guards or just use the pedastrian walkways(?) and hit water hydrants! I think that would be a reason to use these " helpers "!?
Better make it 30 years
While you're at it, compare H-D and Indian to everything else. Also, Chevy and Chrysler are about the only companies still making pushrod car engines.
Actually, in Australia, where they run American rigs mostly, truckers prefer them over Europeans because it is simpler to fix in the wild, and it always comes with a crumple zone towards kangaroos alike
That's a fair comparison, in Australia and New Zealand there are Japanese, European and Australian versions of North American trucks, also asphalted areas are along the coastline for Australia, inside the outback long nose, on asphalted coastline mixed like New Zealand. I hope i get it right, otherwise I will appreciate correction
Tho the crumple zone thing makes no sense unless you plan on impacting a flat wall...since most threats that you can hit literally impact UNDER THE CAB.
Different production lines tho I think. Them Aussies still build the American trucks the old way, tough and strong, present north American trucks have poor build quality in comparison.
Yes exactly I agree and I'm from Europe
Don't get it.. US trucks looks amazing.. but why no more modern features?? Farmers have John Deere/Police Dodge charger/ Delivery - Rivian.. Looks more like the us manufacturs don't give a shit for there customers and have no competition..

If US trucks swapped to cab forward, the tractor will be shorter, even with a full sized living set up. Result, longer trailers yet staying within length limits.
Overall length restrictions were abolished in the US in 1983, eliminating the need for cabovers. Only the length of the trailers is federally regulated to 48 feet (14.63m) although all 50 states allow 53 foot (16.15m) trailers by state law. American and Canadian drivers want a hood in front of them for a better ride and in case of an accident.

In USA 🇺🇸 they call them TRACTORS 😂
Trucks are the pickup vehicles ( 4 wheels) like Ford, Chevy, GMC, Toyota...
Football ⚽️ Vs Football 🏈
New Zealand’s main islands (North and South) and Mainland Australia feature cabovers and cab forwards, but from videos I’ve seen smaller cab forwards than in Canada or the contiguous United States.
With the wind up legs that is only bit of exercise that a driver gets.
newer trucks in the US have enough of crazy electronics on that lot of drivers dont want. too quiet, hard to shift manual trans. automatics cant handle lot of power. not easy to work on yourself. too expensive. dont need cameras watching you. lol. Lot of guys would rather drive the older ones. most dont want all that crazy extra electronics. They want to be able to make it home before the thing derates or shuts down.
@@terrygayman5369 Volvo 780 and Scania 770 mostly are auto gearbox.
@@stevenseagal6861 They're exclusively automatics. Volvo and Scania don't make manuals anymore. Volvo quit like in the mid 2010s and Scania stopped making them in 2021.
The most powerful and heaviest pulling trucks in the world are autos. Just because americans can't build automated manuals doesn't mean all autos are bad. The Volvo IShift and Scania OptiCruise are the best transmissions in the world and there's no room for debate.
US drivers don’t want them because they don’t understand them. My Mack has 500hp and an auto, so right at the top of the US Hp range. US drivers are not the brightest bulbs in the box, I know because I not only drive with some now but have grown up my entire life around them. So many are high school drop outs and life long screw ups that cling on to their manuals because that’s the only thing they got. There are smart drivers but I’d say for every smart one is 3 that are not so.
Lmao thats more like u people dont understand them
Automatic is superior to manual and make the truck perform better and safe fuels
It's all about the bottom line. The manufacturers can get away with it as the laws are as old as the trucks. No need to improve if you can make a huge profit with what you sell.
I went into a bar the other day and met a neanderthal and a cro-magnon. I showed them an American truck and a European one and asked which one they would prefer. The neanderthal chose the American while the cro-magnon took the European. Go figure.
Some trucks here in America have Hydraulic tarping systems. A dump truck that recently repaved my road had Hydraulic systems.

I think a lot of the advancement in tech, safety and more horsepower has to do with the geographic landscape of Europe in comparison to the USA. Europe tends to be more urbanized, more population dense and have more cold mountainous landscapes
No, i would say here in Europe whe drive with heavier loads !! Here in the Netherlands whe are allowed to drive with 50 metric tons. Even more in Scandinavia !
I pity the US truck driver. In the US, manufacturers hold sway over regulators so modernisation of design to improve safety, efficiency, driver comfort etc which requires investment has not happened. As a result the US trucks which is a pile of **** in comparison and is at least 40 years behind.
American. Truckers. Don't. Want. Cabovers.
I wouldn't say they are 10 years behind.
The problem is rather the customers who can be divided into two groups.
The first are large transport companies with large fleets that do not want to invest too much in new vehicles.
And the other are, in large part, quite conservative owner-operators who do not want to hear about driving anything other than the actually quite archaic Peterbilt 389 or Kenworth W900.
I would also forget that when they hear the word "Volvo VNL" they react very nervously and sometimes even shout "BUYYY MUURRRICCCAAANNN!!!!!
By the way, I don't know what they have to do with this Volvo as it is currently the best truck on the American market, comfortable, convenient and in no way inferior to its European counterparts. Especially if we are talking about the latest, just introduced generation of this model.
By the way, many of the things you mentioned are not European standard at all and it is easy to find even new trucks without most of these things.
Not to mention the automatic trailer coupling system, which is not available at all because it is in the testing phase.

They are just driver comfort and accessibility things. Aka an extra thing to break.
Ah, yes, who cares about driver comfort? Maybe the driver does?
@ you realize that not all drivers just drive long distances on the highway right?
Do you think a garbage man who is in and out of the truck 200x per day cares about comfort features?
Its certainly not because it cant be done on the American trucks i believe in Europe we've had to maximise engine capacity, cab size , unit size and so on due to smaller/tight roads rules and regulations.
What would a driver who drives a conventional change or add to it. Certainly good enough engine's and allot more room in the sleepers.
The biggest thing I disagree with is driver comfort. American trucks are the kings of driver comfort.
Do you live in Europe? Have you ever driven a European truck? The American Volvo VNL doesn't count, I mean stuff available in Europe.
No, they're not!
I am not a trucker, but I've seen several videos now with people saying the exact oppposite. That there's no comparison between European truck cabs with their air suspension on all for corners, and the typical US truck cab that rests on hinges in the front.
For example, I'm 2.03cm tall, and I can stand up in the cab of a European lorry, but I can't in one from the USA.
American drivers would never accept a 60cm (24 inch) wide sleeper berth.
Not a trucker here .... but US trucks LOOK better imo.
Europe would go with US design if the could as they are safer. We had CEO until the Kennedy Hawkins law changed it in early 1980's. I worked a lot on the research of it. All you that like the Europe cab with a sleeper cab, I bet you will love dumping it all over with you open the cab. Roads in most of Europe is the issue.
You must be joking if you think American trucks are safer than European trucks.
it is true the lack of restrictions on tractor length offers advantages in sleeping compartment size and having a nose as a crumple zone. But regarding the last, European trucks have airbags, a retarder and electronic safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place.
Safer?😂 Usa truck hasn't even got decent brakes for crist sake.
No they wouldn't.
the same story with buses and locos
Talk about Euro trucks? Volvo bought Mack and turned em into garbage. Stelaris bought Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler and turned em into garbage.
10 years behind or 10 years ahead?
American truck manufacturers are 10-20 years behind most European manufacturers. 99% of industry innovations come from Europe and more than half of those come from Sweden (Scania and Volvo).
10, more like 40 years behind….they are still in the 1980s….
The only thing I personally appreciate in US trucks is bigger sleeper area.
Eeeh, many European trucks have bigger sleeping areas.
By the way, I don't understand why European pickup trucks aren't more popular in America, they're more practical in every way. and they usually give examples like American trucks are nicer and have bigger sleeping cabins😅.
more practical in every way? Like being more expensive, having a smaller truck bed, less space inside, ...?
@ I recommend Bruce Wilson's (Scania)new video of a European and American model side by side🙂
Chicken tax. A retaliatory 25% tariff on European pick up trucks. Europe isn't much into pickups anyway. And like EnjoyFirefighting here, they want generally want BIG like the Ford F150.
Many things you are saying in this video are NOT european wide but specific countries
tacographs have in one form oe another been european wide for getting on 40 years,first the round tachograph disc and now the digi card, air suspension has been around for years too, along with the adjustable height for trailer hook ups, miles better than us trucks all smoke and bluster & removing of emissions controls, i bet most states dont have annual safety checks (MOTs) either
European trucks are also more expensive to maintain.
Now really, would any of these features pay money into the billionaires pockets?
The problem with all the nice gizmos is that sometimes they don’t work and that makes the whole truck not work. Europe has bigger engines available. Good for them are they needed on 95% of trucks? Would Cummins make them if there was a market? Sure they would. Cab over vs conventional? If you were ever an o/o and owned a cab over you’d never want one again. Working on them really sucks.
That is your opinion - but most drivers see it the other way round. The european cabins are much better (comfort, noise, etc).
Comfort, noise, reliability (excluding scania cough cough) better mpg and so on, american trucks really suck, its just noise, dealing with the floppiest shifter ever (ofc you like it as you are experienced in handling other peoples long sticks) and being super UNSAFE.

The more high tech these trucks are the more they brake down. Cab overs are way to small too. When your elbow can hit your bed while you are in the driver's seat. That is way to small. You non truck driver's try living in a 3x3 or smaller area for months to year's at a time.
Most EU countries don't allow for drivers to spend weekend rests in the cabs. I drive a 2017 Volvo FH540 Dual Clutch and it's gone 900000km. I start on either sunday afternoon or mondy morning and work until either thursday or friday before I get home for the weekend.

Most of these features are available in the U.S. What isn’t available is not needed. Demand dictates everything. Even still, you can buy a truck from any manufacturer that comes with all of these features.
You should also consider that the companies are all the same. Daimler owns Freightliner and Western Star. Volvo owns Mack. Traton owns International. Paccar (Peterbilt and Kenworth) owns DAF. All technologies are equal. The markets are the determining factor.
There is 0 innovation in the USA cause the people don't know what is good, cause the manufacturers realized that offering cheap shit for double the price bring better income.

To be honest 700 plus hp trucks in europe are rare to see, most of them are 500 hp. Also American trucks drive faster i think 110 kmh? In europe they are limited to 88 kmh. When something breaks on new eu truck there is no chance fixing it by yourself while american trucks are still simple and mechanical. And at the end of it i think american trucks have soul and look awesome. My 2 cents.
BS vid… All those “USA doesn’t have” do in fact exist; they’re out there if one looks. And why would Europe need a 700hp truck when the truck speed limit is something like 55mph, like California in the USA, but everywhere….
Because ...
1) Europeans have mountains they don't want to crawl uphill at low speeds
2) they're running roadtrains

@@stark3855 Freightliner is owned by Daimler Benz, though. Volvo makes Volvo trucks. Mercedes makes Freightliner.
@@tntfreddan3138 I see that you have not managed to understand it, Volvo America is not Volvo, it is Volvo NA, it is the equivalent of Freightliner for Mercedes. Volvo NA is the third brand of the Volvo group, the VNL are much inferior to the FH.
@@stark3855 I agree. The problem with Volvo NA is just that. It's American. Americans are very bad at making both cars and trucks as we've found out over here countless times.
Such as when Volvo Cars was sold off the Ford and the late 2000s models got Ford engines. The Volvo engines, even in those year models were still every bit as reliable as in the previous generations, but the Ford engines were absolute garbage. Underpowered and unreliable.
Ironically, Volvo Cars was sold off to Ford just so that AB Volvo could secure enough funds to purchase a majority share in Scania. However, the European Union didn't like the idea of a single company having a 90+% market monopoly in 7 different countries.
@@tntfreddan3138 aaand? They are using same engine same transmission same electrical layout same steering wheel same dashboard with FH. So what's the difference???
