Bruce, the retarder lever, it also works for changing gears if you dont know it. Push it forward to gear down and pull it towards you to gear up, and and if you push and hold when your standing still in 3rd you'll get a symbol in the dash showing AM or M.. this is a "Maneuvering mode" used for shunting precision driving and when coupling trailers, going around in a tight parking or street. works both D and R and it changes how the accelerator pedal is behaving and also changes how the clutch is. Just a tip for ya brother
Adjust the goddamn seat, Bruce! *Lift the seat up!* 😂
Real scania drivers always drive with the seat air dumped out 🤠
@@Piglife101 Yep, that is true. I lift it only when I put my legs over the steering wheel to take a nap 😅
He knows about the seat. He said in another video that he pushed it down on purpose, because the cabin is already on air
I have it on, but on the lowest setting and hardest cushioning. @@radeee87
He drives a peterbilt, what else do you expect? 😂
GET THAT MAN A TEST DRIVE! He missed nothing, he's sharp as a needle, despite being in his senior years, he would appreciate anything that help him get the job done!! Man he could burgle your house and I shake his hand on the way out and help him carry my things to his truck!😂
Uncle Bobo is to be treasured. Love the man. His accent is wild.
I was thinking exactly the same. Lots of love for Bob.❤ Its "All about bob" except this one isn't annoying at all.🤣
Scania's best employee award goes to this channel. If the USA doesn't ruin the economy with a trade war, European trucks have a very good market opportunity.🎉
As long as Scania builds a plant there and build trucks there with Americans building them, I don't think they'll have a problem. Otherwise, yeah its a dream.
The BMW factory is in the USA, but a BMW is a passenger car. It's not so easy with trucks, but well, anything is possible.
@@MrHeymygod the logical plan would be to make an assembly plant in the US, just like how Volvo has a plant in Australia making FH16 XXLs (imagine a European truck but with a US studio) , and I think Scania has one as well nearby Perth
@@manoharjishnu2009 Or, as Volvo did, go on the acquisition trail.
These trucks have already had tariffs on them for sixty years, that's how the U.S. managed to lag like thirty years behind in technoloy and production methods. What the U.S. is doing now isn't new, they're just being louder about it than usual. Most likely the purpose is antagonise their old allies so that their new friend can grab a bit of Ukraine while the yanks threaten to do the same to various other places.
Scania is like a spaceship among dinosaurs 😂
So is that logging trailer compared to Nordic logging trucks 😂
I'd wager Jeff is a future customer.
Uncle Bob is my hero. Jumping in and checking everything out. You should let him drive!
The guys trying to see if the seats comfy and you’ve got no air in it 😂
well we in sweden dosent have to step outside when load a timmber truck we just switch seat and put on vr googles and run HiVision for forestry cranes no more slipping and automatic secure the load after you done
that is too high tech for americans, just one step at a time else you scare them. XD
Flintstones,meet the Jetsons...🤗
The first guy was more stunned than Willard when he learned of the Scania’s features. Uncle Bobo was just cool and impressed. Nice guy.
Love to see people's reactions to the Scania 👍
I run a fair few 770S Scanias in the UK, these girls like as much weight as possible. 6x2 rear lift upto 80t (176,000lb). Most times its 40-44t (88-97k lb) & progress is swift. The heavier they are the more the V8 comes alive. We are just getting rid of some 1m miles, 10 years old 730 V8 that are the previous shape. 1st year models of these next Gen at 730bhp are around 8 years old with 800,000 miles on the clock. We also run a fair few Super 560 models too. The 560's dont drink fuel. At 88k we see 8.3mpg US min, lighter weights we are into the 9s at 56mph. Its possible to get mid 8s mpg out of the big 770's with the large taller S series flat floor cab
Air up the seat, Bruce!
Presidental Order coming
@@Rimrock300 😂
The amount of Hm’s says it all 😂
Right on the money with the fleet operator and his test drive Bruce, keep them coming please. Regards
Some features that have existed on European (more specifically Nordic) trucks for over a decade might still either just be an option or not available for American trucks.
Disc brakes are an industry standard over here. Some companies still opt for drum brakes on trailers due to lower maintenance costs, but trucks generally have disc brakes on all axles.
All-round air ride suspension is quite rare on semis which only usually have air suspension on the rear axles, but in the Nordics, where rigids are more common, air suspension on the front axle is basically seen as standard.
Cab air suspension.
Volvo first started making trucks with ABS in 1985 and it has been standard on all their models since then.
EBS. Older trucks, including some newer American trucks, have a pneumatic brake pedal. This means that when you press the brake pedal it puts air pressure on a sensor which then opens the air valves for the brakes. On newer European trucks we have something called an Electric Brake System. The brake pedal is now electric and a computer measures how hard and how fast you're stepping on the brake to calculate how much air each caliper/clock needs to give the appropriate amount of brake force. Air valves are slower than a computer.
To compliment the EBS and ABS we have ESP. Electronic Stability Program. This system was first developed by Volvo. When braking the truck is in a very vulnerable state. Especially when you have two or more pivot points like on Swedish truck and trailer combinations. Semis usually only have one. American semis can sometimes pull to one side when braking hard or even jack-knife. The ESP is there to prevent that. For example, when you have to brake while turning you risk jack-knifing. However, the ESP will sense when each wheel is about to lose grip and will apply each brake in such a way so that the vehicle combination stays upright and straight.
A further development of the ESP we have Volvo Stretch Brake. When driving down slippery and winding roads, you risk folding the dolly or having the back of the trailer wander to one side. When driving 40km/h or below, you can pull the exhaut brake lever towards you and the truck will automatically apply the trailer's rear brakes in a pulsating manner to stretch the vehicle combination and prevent a jack-knife.
Precisely. I have used the EBS, ABS & ESP in B-Train tankers hauling fluids. Worth every cent.
Hai Bruce was weer een schitterende mooie video met prachtige beelden van de scania , mooie gesprekken over de scania en iedereen is er enthousiast over de scania bedankt ervoor gr carel uit Nederland
Så roligt och se alla reaktioner när dom provkör 😁👍👍
Coming from Scania-land, I must say that American truck looked really nice with the American flag on the side.
And the livingspace for the driver,thats a big plus.
22:30 I think it was Continental or Michelin that tested single drives here in Europe. We don't use it since we found it to be completely useless. Minimal fuel savings and much worse drivability in slippery conditions. As soon as the snow fell, the singles weren't getting anywhere.
I think you should go up to Minnesota and let the Larson farms try the Scania
Super cool dude Jeff you had driving with this Scania. And tell Jeff to get off cement, use salt acid lotion and rinse it well after certain time of absorbing, depends of thickness. you should let jeff to toe a heavy trailer as well to feel difference and consumption.
Your uncle Bobo, cool dude as well good that you had time for them to see and let them to feel Scania.
Say hi to cameraman he is making an effort as well.
I'd like to take my MAN TGS 43.510 8x8 tipper truck with hydraulic suspension and 3 steering axles to America. They'd be dumbfounded by the technology 😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine them in a 2000's or 2010's Tatra lmao.
Keep this type of videos coming love to see what ppl think about it
Bet he still doesn't lift the seat up..
Bruce thinks nobody like it so,......no air in it. Not cleaver Bruce.
Put the air in that seat.
I know you think you don't need it. But let the others to have full experience of SCANIA smotheness.
I don't get why you would demo a truck without air in the seat. Really strange to willingly make it uncomfortable.
He said in one other video he like it more like that.
@Z4N7 Sure, but a product demo is about showing the product, not your personal preferences.
But I'm just a whining bloke on the internet anyway, so it's not up to me 😁
No air in the seat while driving on a rough road and still saying the ride is super smooth. I guess driving with no air in the seat just proves how good the Scania is
The seat mode like a brick, pisses me off ! It is one of best seats with functions , confort, and air ride suspension, and people who drive it, will never experience it.. it acts like a counterbalance of truck and cabin suspension..arm rest down as well.. First impression sticks..
Scania ❤ love
Size of that Hiab 😂😂.
Enjoing your work, Mr Scania USA.
dont know about anyone else but i want to see more of your uncle!
When you ask "looks intimidating?" -- remember to follow up with "it actually isn't, everything is organized in easy-to-change modules" (or what it's called)... cuz that's a pretty important point to persuade new US costumers 🤓👍
thanks bruce, just wen t on youtube didnt saw a new video from u. refreshed the youtube u came up
Love it!
He is a businessman...he seeks benefits. Not for the drivers but for his wallet. 😂😂😂
Just like any business, but at the same retaining drivers, especially as an SME is very important, particularly since drivers are getting fewer and fewer every year both in Europe and the US.
@Ultrakillerism You're right. It wasn't negative either. But it proves that the interest is different. Money against enthusiasts
@@1957mattes The bulk of sales is indeed in selling and servicing fleets, a business model which Scania is familiar because the business/legislative/fiscal environment in Europe towards independent truckers is very unfriendly, compared to the US.
@Ultrakillerism What is striking is that...the big country US is unable to keep up with the modern world.
drivers with good days is good for his wallet as well. make drivers stay and be consistently good performers
BRING SCANIA TO USA!!! WE DONT CARE ABOUT LONG HOODS ONLY WE WANT RELIABILITY AND PRACTICALITY AND COMFORT AND CONSIDERATION FOR TRUCKERS!!!
Look at the T cabs ,those are great for the US .
@ haha I had a feeling someone would comment on this. I’ve seen them, and they are good too, but I was trying to say we shouldn’t only want Scanias with hoods on them in the USA. We should have both, no hood or with a hood, would be good for choice 👍
@@KevinFreyre-z2i i know,i love the US cab overs also .
And also more brands,MAN ,Iveco,Daf ,Volvo also producing goodlooking and performig fine.
Same goes for US ,a big plus is the room you have in those long cabs.
@@Cp-rp5tr heck yeah bro the more the merrier 👍😁😁
@@Cp-rp5tr that would force all US trucking manufacturers to up ⬆️ their standards it would be a win win 👍👍
Não ajustar o banco a ar faz me arrepios 😂😂😂😂😂
Crazy thing, the Scania probably has 3x the torque of that Steam train looking vehicle.
I used to mount cranes, hooks and fifhtwheels on Volvo and Scania, i liked the Scania most.
wouldve been a great experience if the first trucker had one of his trailers attached. That is the best way to sell a Scania. when it is working!! It also seems that they don't really care for the gadgets but they are serious when it comes to fuel and maintenance cost. the obvious questions. Once you get into the role of a salesman, you can sell these puppies like McDonalds sells his BigMacs
I keep thinking the same thing! Hook up a heavy load and put those 770 horses to work. Would have been a golden opportunity if possible/permitted.
Unless it's on private land he has to get permission to carry a trailer as it's a demo truck @@LillyRocket
Super cool nice video 👏👍🥰🇨🇿😉
Cross locks in the diffs Bruce, as well as power divider lock.
I’d love to see Scania build a factory in the USA.
Man I like Uncle Bobo! 😂
Great video Bruce ( & jack 👍 )
Great reactions again mate well done Bruce 👏 ✔️
Why he's not put air in seat?
He does't know it has an adjustable seat.
We need SCANIA in the U.S. so other manufacturers have to step up and make better and safer trucks
Rules and regulation is what has driven the inovation in Europe to safer and beter Trucks.. but yes ofc more tech stuff can brake.. more jobs.. so..
Swedish car producers where always 1 on safety.
They invented the safetybelt for cars and many more.
And also because off the weather conditions in the winter.
32.10 and and onwards a few seconds. Priceless.
Bob, quid in mouth: „Where's the butt-warmer?! 😂
Bobo is quite the character
8 mins in and man's already exhausted how much tech a scania has :D
🤪😬
& ok its the real Bruce & he does know his truck & that's just on 2 days video 😂😂
Best advertising the tag trucks for hard to get to farms that are tight in awkward places and quarries also land fill anything that's going to be tight with gradients and different surfaces. Tanker any sort of dry powders grain liquids you name it farm equipment sand grave bulk tippers or walking floors the choice with a tag is honestly limitless. Wet kits meaning hydraulics and so on blowers we have air blowers on the back of the cab or under it
Nice! 🙂
Bruce just an observation but I've heard you tell people a few times it has 12 speeds but if you specced it all out then it should be a 14 speed (12+2)
You should whisper to them when driving “could you hear me in an American truck?”
Hey Bruce, nice clips, i live 20 km from the Scania factory in Falun Sweden 😉think the us can use some more Swedish trucks.
Scania abd pazarına girebilmesi için vollvo vnl gibi modeli olması lazın r serisi veya s serisi abd olnaz
@Braggerman trump just started a trade war with the EU
The US manufacturers are afraid of European trucks. As one driver put it: "Drive a day in a European truck and you are tired. Drive a day in a US truck and you are exhausted." Bur, when I read the comments of USian truckers they rather are exhausted in in cool looking US truck.
If you advertise the truck tell people about the seat adjustments, if you don't like it maybe rest will enjoy it! Instead of driving like noobs from the bottom of the floor. On European roads is mandatory to adjust your driving position to be as comfortable as possible.
I don’t use the air in the Scania seat as the setup is so smooth you don’t need it and is more a personal preference.
Uncle Bob needs his own channel. Anyone else agree?
If you can remember please take your boots or trainers off and put them on the top step.
Have you seen if scania would lend you a t-cab at one point. Because the people what don't like cabovers would love the t-cab. All the same scania but with a nose like most USA trucks. Would shows they got both options not just one
@@MrMrRush Sadly Scania hasn't made T-line trucks for a long time, plus that truck restricts you to use only the 13L inline 6; a good engine by any account, but it's not the V8
There is the company Vlastuin they biild T cabs with V8 ,they are located near the Scania factory in Zwolle.
@@Cp-rp5tr that mightbe dificult with import rules and it not being standard scania
@@rubenjanssen1672 correct!
Helemaal mee eens,hetzelfde een bepaalde US auto naar NL halen .
04:07
it could be a bit fun to see Miss Scania and one of his American trucks, hitched to one of those sand trailers, and let the employer himself race against one of his own drivers...
- to let him experience the difference himself.
If anyone is bored just type into TH-cam either scania longline or scania T-cab or scania longline T-cab. Anyone of those could be great in the American market
I hope you can drive the Scania T Cab V8 Truck soon Bruce
I wish he’d got Scania to give him the T-Cab for his US venture
Or the new longliner... that would be more up the u.s. way...
@@hozzer68Scania doesn’t make T cabs those are custom made
@ yeah,, but they still have demonstrators at Scania HQ in Sweden
Don't forget to go to Sandy Munro!
What the hell is going on , in the last 2 weeks I've watched several of your videos about your Scania. I don't even like trucks or cars or so I thought !?
Hey what’s up bro how are you much love
never late in a v8
Uncle Bobo is the real deal. Love that guy. But Bruce, please leave in the negative things people are saying about the Scania in the videos. And if they are too polite to say it, push them on it. That would be good content and it would show how US trucks are different from European trucks. As an European, no way Scania people would mind hearing some different views. All of this said, after watching your channel, I have started to notice what brand all trucks are on Norwegian roads and it seems to be 80% Scanias in all kinds of different configurations and specs. I have never looked for it before, but now I see like 4 axel Scanias looking like they are transporting nuclear waste or the Hulk or something :)
a European truck is many times better than an American one
Please, hey, camera dude. Stop videoing Bruce, video what he is looking at. You don't need to keep Bruce in the center. We can hear him. Show us more truck and stuff. I don't mind the low angle, but pls try to keep up. Noob :D
Paccar is DAF in europe
❤
Bruce uncle Bobo going get you son
Have you sold them on the price of parts?
You let them know it has to visit a dealership anytime an electronic part is replaced right? Lots of tjose Scania dealersips in the states huh?
Or you can buy a 40k$ computer that won't really do it.
Also the wiring or a good bulk of it will be shot in 5 years.
I drive one, love them, something expensive will go wrong most weeks.
@AH.135 Don't worry, trump isn't going to allow this, he just started a trade war with the EU
Great to see other views! Found this drivers posts, as he driving the Norwegian west coast in a Scania 560. Gives an impression about the driving condisions in some areas.... th-cam.com/video/TZbU3zPFCjM/w-d-xo.html
Read on Bruce, many errors
Was there something wrong with audio towards the end or was it my iPad?
What's the flopping paper behind cab
Bruce try to be more informative on a walk around. You’re doing a good job. But you sometimes look like the adult following a little kid around ready to smack their hands in an instant.
Saying Stop touching everything!
Another good vi-jeo
Es hätte den den Scania mit der größeren Kabine XL gebraucht oder den T-cap V8 Mfg Tony
er hat aber auch gesagt warum er die nicht hat
Hat er erklärt warum….er kann die kabinenengröße z.b besser verladen von der höhe für truckshows
Its weird a truck driver talks about an engines horsepower instead of torque, thats what they’re designed for
Hi, what does the trucking community say about that they do not want to have anything do do with America?
Never get tired of Bruce showing off MAGNUS
Love to see Bruce with a T cab in the states
Hat der Scania eigentlich schon mal Wasser gesehen seit du ihn hast? Meine Waschwasser keinen Regen.
Bruce, when are you going to use the coffee machine?
You can't keep using the retarder all the way through at once! It's not made for that and it ruins the motor! Use the 5 different retarder positions with at least 3seconds in between.... Anticipate! The electro magnetic brake starting at the 4th position will ruin your tractor if you pull it straight!
you tell there is none of the 500 electronic boxes that stop one from runi the engine with the retarder?
There is a reason for 5 positions on the retarder.... If you feel like blowing up your transmission like blowing up the brakes by hitting them HARD, then be my guest 😂
Trykk 👍 om du er fra Norge
Businessman looks lost
Schwind sound german. 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣
when americans get real trucs like volvo fmx with 5 axles and 4 on trailer when you get in to that size with something that needs to go on a rough terrain you are starting to see how bad suspension system scania has
Why don't you ask them to use the retarder one position at a time to let them know how much each position brakes the truck? You will blow up your axel quicker Then you think, even more with a heavy trailor if you go all in! Anticipate for Americans sake or hit the brakes bro!
Si nos nuits étaient aussi drôles que cette vidéo, nous ne nous endormirions jamais🧡
When and where was the video made? It looks like it was taken in summer.
Florida, now, mostly summer
@@Rimrock300 I've already noticed. 28°+C or 82°F in Florida. Very happy people there.
