I like how Euro Trucks don't look "scary" but are real beast on the road.
That's the sleeper spirit somehow. We are good at this 😂
Yeah the mastered the "Wolf in sheep's clothing" doctrine a few years ago.
Yeah they are sheep in wolf clothing. The US ones seem to be more show and ponies.
@@silentios7336 I could it not say better.
@@asokawhite is EU regulations that made it look that way. was not a designers/engineers choice.
German lesson of the day: Fernfahrer literally means Far Driver, resp. Long Distance Trucker. ;)
This year a complete submarine from ww2 gone to a museum over the road 😮
This whole combination had been built by Toni Maurer and he used the MAN as basic components. Look at the Mercedes Benz Actros and the Merceds Arocs heavy howling machines. Beautie beasts. ;-) Sorry i must add this. Worked 44 years for MB. But MAN has wonderfull Trucks, Ship engines and is building parts for Ariane Space ships. MAN built the first ever diesel engine.
Imagine a transport over some 20 miles taking the whole night and weeks of preparation.
Coming from the oversize transport business myself here in Germany, Matthias Kirschner (the guy that was riding on the back of the dolly steering it) is an institution when it comes to experience and knowledge. Had the pleasure to meet him a couple years ago when I started working in this industry, he gave some advice I still recall back to quite often today. A living legend!
For the US viewers: Please bear in mind that the US (short) ton is only 907 kgs, compared to 1000 kgs = 1 metric ton.
or better, 200tons are about 440925 lb :D
When we talk about 30 kilometers distance we are not talking about 4 lane streets and super wide highways... Most roads in Germany are very narrow with sharp turns and small intersections. Not to mention that Germany can be very mountainous.
Yep, I’ve directed traffic so we could go round a traffic island the wrong way. Not like now with high viz, just me in overalls :D
That's an impressive truck.. 500 tons =
- 1x the largest Obelisk in the world (Lateran Obelisk in Rome)
- OR 2x Statue of Liberty
- OR 3x Blue whale
On a single truck...?! damn, gotta respect German engineering.
with the obelisk, you still have room for 87 tons to spare...
its not the Europe Tons (the truck can 1002 Tons (Mercedes have that to)
Or a snack for Ricarda Lang as wide.
BTW: 500 Ton kilogram is 1,100,000 US LBS. The most common US semi truck is allowed to tow 80,000 LBS.
Actually Gross Vehicle Weight is 80K# only. In Germany the limit is what only 40 ton, in Holland 50 Ton, Finland is the most relaxed, as soon as @AngelicaLarsson reached the Swedish/Finnish border with an escavator, or dumptruck on her tail, her Pilot gets to turnaround. 70 ton GVW and larger sizes before it becomes oversize.
@@perpetual4958 Sweden and Finland has similar weight restrictions on roads. Max GVW in Sweden is 74 tons (BK4) on a few select highways and main roads, but roughly 90% of the road netweork has a limit of 64 tons (BK1). BK4 has the same weight limits for axles and axle groups as BK1 has, though. To haul more you need a kind of permit by the county/ies or municipality/ies you are going to pass through, exit or enter that excepts you from those rules. If you're hauling oversize you may also need a permit if you need to take down signs or the like. To find the correct route to avoid low bridges or tunnles is your own or the transport planner's/dispatcher's responsibility.
It's time to react too Sweden now Fire trucks Heavy rescue trucks. Scania 🇸🇪💪
There is two Scandinavian speciall trucks videos in a series on TH-cam that is actually.quite good where the show 5 specialty trucks in each video.
Have a ginormous swedish lumber truck that moves 250 tons
Yes mby also norwegian truck rescue unit. Greetings from baltic states.😂❤
Assistanskåren, Falck rescue
All MAN Trucks are produced on demand with the specs of the customer. Special equipment gets added by companies specialized on the equipment ordered. The basic Truck takes 6-9 months until delivery, but the upgrades may take even more time.
More interesting are the SPMTs (Self-Propelled Modular Transporters). These can move heavy loads without tractors. The term SPMT was first used in the 1970s by Scheuerle Fahrzeugfabrik from Pfedelbach, which also developed the first self-propelled modular heavy-duty vehicle. Since then, SPMT has been the general term for self-propelled modular vehicles.
That is not the stongest truck in germany. MAN belongs to VW. They tell a lot crap. Volvo has the FH 16 with 750 Hp. Everyone can buy it. And Volvo has a Crawler Gearbox and a 8x6 Chassis, that can do the same and more, but they don't have to talk about it. This here is just stupid talking.
If you're interested. This part was going to the LyondellBasell plant in Münchsmünster.It was part of a gas scrubbing systems to purify process-based waste gases and/or pollutants subject to odor complaints and release them in accordance with environmental legislation. I used to do the production planning for this company and its predecessors' European sites , producing Cataloy, PP and PE -> plastic granulates. It's a company most people havent heard of, but everyone, yes everyone!!! on this planet comes in contact with their products daily, they'r massive!!!
Btw, that ride is actually only 17 or 18km and takes normally 15 min. ... that is if you're not dragging a 50m long ding dong along 😂. ... sorry somehow it had to rhyme 🤣. Take Care 🤘❤️
I am sure there were some compulsory detours to allow it through.
Here in New Zealand, we build our houses from timber, and they are often transported over long distances from one location to another. The local public broadcaster(TVNZ) had a series showing the process of preparation, transport and renovation - including one that was put on a vehicle ferry to an offshore island, and another that was moved over 600 kms.
They are not “Heavy” but very large and awkwardly sized, but can be tilted and raised with millimeter precision
You NZers have a great trucking scene and it's criminally under recognised.
Better than Australia's primitive scene.
MAN builds motors for ships, the really large ones. The machine has a load of ballast to have full traction, probably something like 30 to 40 tonnes, cast iron plates or something like that. The secrets to all of these transports lies in very good preparation and to go slowly at all times. I does not matter if it takes two hours longer, it is more important that the stuff gets no damage and arrives safely.
The largest motors for ships comes from Wärtsilä, Finland or MTU Friedrichshafen, Germany.
The MAN factory in Augsburg is nowhere near the Autobahn, so getting those big diesel ship engines to the Autobahn is quite a logistical challenge given Augsburg is a very old city with narrow streets and trams powered by current collectors that had to be shut off or temporarily removed. I didn't mind if that happened, getting a glimpse on those huge engines (iirc, those can be up to ~100,000 HP? ).
@@Kilian600 Not MTU , The Largest is MAN Wärtsilä and this is only The Finish bought the Swiss company Sulzer , Wärtsila don't even know how to build them they don't have the facilities in Finland.
M A N are the best trucks there’s a reason why there used by the military and special movement companies. The V8 that goes in boats are just on a another level and the MAN B&W 12S90ME-C Mark 9.2 type diesel engine set the world record in October of 2014 for the largest engine ever built.
Lol!!!! So is Scania, Volvo..... Which actually have more powerful engines from factory for also very specific applications too.
@@alanmay7929 lmfao Scania is being owned by VW just like MAN
Have you ever seen the size of an engine from a cargo ship? Volvo doesnt make those. lmfao
I had the opportunity to ride in a racing MAN truck 1200 HP. I've never been more scared for my life. 9 tons of asphalt hating machine, forget Hellcats, Corvettes and the likes, this thing did 0-60 better than some cars and cornered like a demon.

There was an accident a few years ago near my hometown where a very low-slung heavy transport got "beached" on a level crossing that wasn't included in the calculations properly, and it got hit by a train.
Nobody died, but only because the driver jumped out of his truck right before the train hit the vehicle.
On a milder note, last year a transport like the one in the video fell over (and destroyed the cargo) because it had to go around a slightly banked corner and someone mis-steered the trailer. There was a camera crew there, it's kinda funny to be honest. Like veeeeery slowly just keels over.
Hixon was the one by us. A train hit a transformer. Absolute disaster.
@@teamidris I know about Hixon (I got a little blog on rail accidents), the one I referred to was Alt-Duvenstedt in Germany, the truck carried a ram for a construction side. Train didn't derail and nobody died.
My father is driving an MAN TGX 470 and with 41 tons he drove a little steep hill with 70km/h up the hill
There is a Dutch company that goes even more extreme in transport. The name is mammoet, they can lift and transport everything.
Is it still Dutch? The owner sold up and bought a loss-leading Football Club;-). It is known for using the all wheel steered and driven (hydraulics) platforms and the heavy duty cranes.
I always enjoy driving in Germany. One minute you're going a casual 100 mph on the autobahn, the next your staying behind a massive truck trying to figure out what that massive machine is he's hauling. Beautiful country, nice people, top tier engineers.
Thx greets from Germany lake of Constance
well, with 100 mp u are about double as fast, as an truck in germany :D
Su on the numberplate..stands for Siegburg near Cologne ❤...my hometown...😊
If Iron Man was a truck, this is it! 💪😂🍻
Logistics is such an interesting and wide field. Always new problems to be solved.
I saw that transport live , it started in my hometown Abensberg !!!
if you look at a MAN truck, you can still see the Büssing in it,
the Lion in at the hood is still a insignia from Büssing, the Lion of Braunschweig...
funny fact, the Duke of Braunschweig founded München/Munich, the only reason they have the Lion, too!
BMW pronunciation: [ˌbeːʔɛmˈveː]
The " Strongest " they are talk of there is Not Horsepower . They are talking about the Chassis Rating .
And yeah , 500 tonne SINGLE rating is truly Outrageous .
BTW: 500 Ton kilogram is 1,100,000 US LBS. The most common US semi truck is allowed to tow 80,000 LBS.
These wide and heavy loads are usually shipped as close to the final destination by other means like a ship or train and then driven for the final miles, in this case less than 20 miles, by truck.
Interesting video about the construction of the military version by Rheinmetall-MAN: th-cam.com/video/bs0PISWA2Qg/w-d-xo.html
As far as I know, MAN didn't build this truck directly itself, but the truck came off the assembly line as a normal truck and was converted by a special company to what it is ^^
That sounds reasonable. Unimog is maybe the only one that builds completely to order? It seems they barely have a base unit.
You should check out the 24,2 metres long tatra from LIBERTY Ostrava
Suggest you check out Scammell Contractor Mk2, british, 1970's, that was rated far higher than this thing, due to its American Allison gearbox
I'm at a construction site now for windmills and the blades delivered is 83.5 meters / 274 feet and weighs 30 tons / 60 000 pounds...
Did you use to ride with @IwonaBlecharczyk, that ran those blades for a few years? Slightly shorter ones though, Total vehicle length was 74.8 meters if I remember correctly. Plenty of all night video's on her channel.
I think the MAN that works in France Guyana vor The ESA is much stronger. It carrys Rockets that weight 1500 tons since over 20 years!
Sometimes more interesting than the Truck is the load. Many times with these Oversized loads I wonder what that actually is. And in Germany: How do they plan the routes. In such dense areas you have to plan such a load quite carefully to avoid any issues.
"Imagine someone messes up or doesn't take it seriously." - In that case - I have to laugh - someone would probably loose his job. There is literally no space for errors, whatsoever. Maybe someone can post a vodeo on how these trips are planned to avoid issues. That would be interesting too.
Large hauls are always on our roads. You see them all the times... some pretty weird looking, like some kind of reactor out of an old timey SciFi show. :))
I don't know why, but when I look at the machine, the word that always comes to mind first is "dense"; it looks like an English Bulldog.. it looks as if a redwood could fall on this thing and the tree would be split in half aft that.. 😁
You should look after Liebherr LR 13000 for realy heavy equipment from made in Germany ;-)
not correct,you can buy trucks up to 800HP in germany and europe,like volvoe,scania ....
Hey wrocker. Please Look the U17 Transport in Germany.
Imagine doing Traktor pulling with this beast 😂😂😂
I think it would pull the wait wagon right out of the stadium 😂😂😂
30km is not far, but germany and europe is not like the usa. no straight roads for hours like in the us. we have small roads, bridges. you have curvy roads here especially in regions with hills.
750 metric tons, not American tons by the way ;-) . The streets in Germany or Europe in general are way smaller than in America. Greeting from Germany
Hi Mate .........long distance driver magazine ......a little help from a german in the uk 😊
The way i understand the model name of the truck, 640 may be the horse powers of the engine. Not the most powerful in that sense, but obviously not where the finesse is.
30 km with that thing can take you 8 hours. Talking from experience. 😅
Nicholas tractomass would be most powerful
U mean heavy moded Renault Premium? ;) I like how they put regular cab into custom chassis.
The other day they transfer a entire submarine to the technical museum at Speyer. By truck.
500t pulling force.... here it was needed: th-cam.com/video/aAwLllIwXSk/w-d-xo.html
There is reason why wurope trucks canr come into usa market same for. Bus. Usa corps would bancrupt. Than you see this also interior and what ir can do ohh. And all will be done foe so low fuel needs
MAN is super truck but watch Trojan heavy haul truck….now that’s a beast
Hope there's gonna be some content from Goodwood next week ;) i think they are my favourite of yours. And the variety this year should be crazy.
The brand of police car changes according to witch area of Germany your in
If you think these are big you should take a look at the trucks used in the mining industry. Some of these could fit several of these in there dump bed.
Germans are simply the best on this! Always has been and ever will be!
You forgot mammoet!!!!
This Truck was built by my Friends Father (Toni Maurer)
Not everything always works out, have a look at this video:
"Gas-Tank im Graben - Schwertransport mit Hindernissen | Die Nordreportage | NDR" ;-)
Ive got plenty of oversized examples on my page if you wanna take a nosey, all from within Germany
Please look Steinwinter Supercargo 2040
awesome try volvo trucks vs 750 tonnes on youtube. I know now you want to get onto a heavy load on eurotruck simulator lol
That company is from my region, just across river Rhine from my place. From first hand experience I can tell you that this machine is impressive in the street. I had it behind me on the Autobahn on my way to Bonn a few weeks ago. A seriously stonking bugger!
500 Tons Solo?!
German Engineering 🗿🗿🗿
Fernfahrer = far (distance) driver = trucker.
denis cyplenkov would curl that thing
man and scania are parts of volkswagen group.
This video seems mostly like a bad commercial for MAN .....factual is it NOT. The claim in the video "...this truck is the strongest truck ever registered in Germany..." .... is just nonsense....
They seem to never have heard about Volvo or Scania. I would like to know how a MAN with 640 hp is "stronger" than a Volvo with 750 hp or a Scania with 770 hp....???? Scania can deliver a torque which is the double of what a MAN can come up with. There are many of those Volvo and Scania trucks out on the roads .....including in Germany ....and they also have to be registered...!!! The credibility of that video is zero....they bluntly ignore reality.
In 2015 was Scania bought by Volkswagen ...and became a sister company of MAN. The Germans had to learn a lot from the Swedes how to build a truck.
You have yourself Ian reacted to a video where a standard Volvo 750 was pulling 750 tons .....something that MAN likely never have done....
It's possible they don't lie, because to reduce cost of running they are registered in Poland, Estonia, etc where it's cheaper
Fernfahrer - Long-distance lorry driver.
For me is such truck normal, because in our city we have the harbour, and here comes many such trucks with different vehicles. Sometimes it is large machines from Siemens, or agricultural machinery from various German and European manufacturers that are shipped all over the world, mobile cranes or even large crawler feet for the huge crawler cranes from Liebherr.
Even Volkswagen's Transporters are now being rebranded to MAN. VW's Corporate vehicles division.
VW owns majority of the company MAN, VW also owns 10 other car manufacturers for example Skoda, Seat Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley
You should react the finnish rally its best whole world i swear
10:30 its still the fron of the trailer, the truck just turned arround
These heavy transports dont matter how far it is away because the only difficult parts are the streches from and to the Autobahn. So if its 30 or 300 km is basicly no difference. Because on the Autobahn its easy and there it can just go without any sort of trouble. Its the stretches when it has to go through small roads, towns or intersections where its getting difficult.
Fortunately, Germany isn't densly populated. It's very easy to get around with a load like that.. 🙄😂😂🍻
And Germany has highest street density.
Take a look at google earth with all streets displayed and you will see german border without being separately displayed
Volkswagen own MAN and Scania
"Fernfahrer" (lit. "far-away driver", long-distance truck driver) = FAIRN-FAH-RHAIR (approx.)
You spell MAN wrong. Spell ir like name
But the roundabouts are more pretty, dosnt use electricity, ALOT less prone to cause deadly accidents, creates a more calm and relaxed city... but all of those things is not something a person from Murika would understand eitherway :p
I think it's really funny how you celebrate our trucks ^^ For me, as a German, the truck in the video is unusual, but otherwise quite normal ^^ I think the American trucks are really awesome when it comes to space
Please watch German "DTM" this Sunday. Best track.
Volvo can tow 750 tons as single truck
Wat for Truck pull rockets at Cape caneveral
These guys have my respect, they do a great job........nearly all the time, but sometimes....sh*t happens.
the roads and bridges are measured in advance for the heavy loads. Road closures often take months of planning and approval. A problem is often the load capacity of bridges. Heavy transport often has to take long detours to avoid a single dilapidated bridge or to avoid a single tight bend.
A problem in my area is the over 50-year-old Autobahn, which has been occupied with construction sites for decades to come. This cannot be used and the heavy transport has to take the other roads.
In my area, heavy transport takes place regularly, always at night or on weekends when traffic is light
this thing is unique, its all custom mde
if you thought these were impressive you have to see the trojan 8870, those units are absolute monsters if you think these are beasts.
The horesepower of the truck is not that important, but the gearing as the transport is usually at very low speeds.
yea true but for make work in some acceptable time some level of power is required 👌🏻 but yea 100 hp 100 nm engine with enough shorter gear be able to pull more weight from dead stop than feg strongest engine truck on market today so like i dont know how much they have 600-750 hp 2000-3000 nm ? let say its 750 hp 3500 nm ….cos watt :m/s = force 100 hp aploed on 10 times lower velocite would generate biger output force at tire contact path 😎
The most powerful wasn't the french berliet t100 6x6 made for África?
Good truck by the way 0:03
There is many diffrent way to define powerfull.. ut if we talking about hp och pulling power the frensh truck is not it
Most powerful truck is easily the Volvo & Scania, this is *germany's* most powerful AFAIK
Most powerful in terms of maximum load. 500 tons solo + 750 tons with two machines and 1002 tons with four, is the most extreme registered in Germany right now. They say this in the video for you. Did you guys skip it?
@@dnocturn84 many things are said in Many videos, if we got to believe It all without questions.....
@@salvador_mano4x4 The heaviest registered in Germany doen't mean the heaviest all over the world. Just in Germany only. And this information is correct. So surely there might be more powerful machines outside of Germany in existence. Yes, there might be a more powerful one even in France (or made by a French company for Africa).
500 ww2 Willys MB jeeps = 503 kg so its a LOT of weight
the distance of 30 km(18,6 miles) in germany is long as germany has generaly a denser population so the likelyhood to transport stuff like this over Highways is low (try to drive that cilinder throug a village)
0:35 FERNFAHRER = Far-Driver
FERN=Far
FAHRER=Driver
FERNFAHRER = Trucker
Your never late in a scania......
saw a heavy transport once that had to reverse 6 km.
one of the bridges they had planned to cross was rated for the weight but they had not measured the railing height correct so it could not cross. bet it was not fun reversing a thing you cant see around.
Fernfahrer = Long- distance truck driver
Becasue u asked there was a Transport of the Unterseeboot „U 17“ in Germany 50m long 500t of Weigth
Das geile deutsch zu hören mit englischen Untertiteln 😂
I believe we are a bit lucky in Germany as we can move many of those heavy weights over rivers and channels.
This ensured the last mile(s) is not so long.
Maybe some of our German Heavy load guys can tell us what was the longes travel on road for you?
I have seen some documetary about these transports and i believe it was never over 150 km ( 95 miles) or or mostly even less.
Sind deine Eltern Geschwistern ? Wir haben kein Glück! Wir hatten hart schuftende Ahnen du Versager !
Here in Sweden we mostly see MAN busses, but then trucks is mostly just Volvo or Scania.
I drive at work. A prefab concrete factory. With an electric Linde forklift truck 3 t. We use these more, to pull trailers. Up to 25 tons. It's not my day job. But when it gets tough and big. Then I am always the...... Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.
Fernfahrer, translates loosly as long haul trucker
