Bruce Wilson's Scania is not built with specifications required in North America, as your video claims nor is it as "illegal in the EU" as you infer. Bruce simply specced the Scania to appeal to US semi truckers. That is not the same. It is solely "illegal in the EU" as it rolled off the Scania production line because the EU compulsory mirror above the windscreen and the digital tachograph, otherwise standard on all Scania semis, were opted out of by Bruce as the truck was not to be driven in the EU when it rolled off the production line. It is also currently not waiting for NHTSA approval for driving on US public roads as it already has been approved and it can be driven on particular routes. Proof of this is the fact that Bruce already drove the Scania from the Port of Baltimore to Tennessee and from Tennessee to Iowa. The limitation is that only Bruce (and any other pre-approved driver) can drive it on pre-approved routes. Other people are free to drive it on non-public roads. If he wants to take the Scania to a truck festival which falls outside of the coverage of the pre-approved routes, he can only do so by transporting it on a low-loader to avoid driving on non-approved routes. It is for this reason that a low cab R770 V8 was chosen as it stays within the height-limitations such transports inevitably have. Last but not least, it is not Bruce's truck nor did he import it. The truck is owned by Scania Marine in the US, a subsidiary of Scania in Europe selling Scania engines for the marine industry, and which is the entity which which imported it and officially owns it. Bruce, acting as a Sales Agent, is the assignated driver of the Scania, in legal terms.
Ive seen that first Green Scania here in Canada is from Milltown trucking in New Brunswick. Comes through my town and stops at the Nipigon Ontario Husky for fuel.
I'm not a truck guy, but watching ice road truckers, i never understood why you wanted to drive the old usa trucks , always have to fight driving and loading.
This is a fascinating subject to me. When you listen to European truck builders, they talk about how advanced their trucks are in comfort, technology, emissions and economy. But since they only make cabovers, there’s a notion that nobody wants them here. Yet, in California they are using electric and fuel cell trucks to haul containers that are based on IVECO cabovers. Also, the Kenworth K200 and K220 seem to be well received in Australia and New Zealand. The US makes it extremely complicated to import a truck that supposedly is more advanced than anything presently offered. And let’s not even talk about the problems NA manufacturers are having with emissions systems reliability. I’m now retired and I never had input into what trucks my employer bought, but I think exposure to what other parts of the world are doing should makes us stop and think. Can cabovers have a better ride? Can conventionally have a better turning radius? Can high horsepower diesels be smoke free? Economical? Are electric trucks viable? Will they ever be? Are there lobbies trying to set the trends to their own financial advantage? OK, I’m gonna stop cause my head hurts. But I’m I wrong in thinking at least some of these are valid questions? Oops, sorry, that’s another question. I’m finished, I promise. Nice video by the way.

Bruce was first.
The Scania R 770 Longline is a masterpiece
C'est pas un longline.
@@jeanclaude1237 I know, I was just referencing the Longline because I seen a video short of the extended one and it was sweet.
Nothing here useles just some pictures of Bruce Wilson"s Scania, do not waste your time.
Nice trucks! ❤
Bruce Wilson at 0:11 with his 770 Hp Scania!!

Funny that the 770 is illegal in the US because it s too modern..
Fr 😂😂😂😂
Scania the best❤
Scania, the best.
One of the
They worst
Is that harebrained music necessary? The sound of the Scania V8 would be just enough.
Very good trucks driver friendly

That's awesome! Must be amazing to see such a unique truck in action regularly.

earned a dislike for the darn music.
Not the first scania in te USA i had 25 of them in 1990’s in Virginia
How about a video of US trucks in the UK?
excellent idea!
Why? Only two people use one. The rest want's today's tech.
US trucks are less powerful, inferior, fuel guzzlers.
Le da mil vueltas,a la chatarra yanqui
Very good trucks driver friendly
