Steep inclines on some Autobahn sections are still an issue to this day, for example the A8 from the Karlsruhe triangle to Karlsbad. It is a very challenging uphill section, where you always see trucks going very slowly, some barely over 30 km/h or so. I can only imagine how hard it must have been back in the days with a fully loaded truck without a turbocharged engine. The biggest issue is when more powerful trucks then try to overtake, but they also struggle, and then basically block the road for cars.

One of the preproduction coaches had so much horsepower I could overtake cars with a full load of passengers up the Italian Dolomites but it would overheat all the time and I needed to back off to allow it to cool down.

Nowadays in Europe, you can see 420 or 460hp trucks , but the majority are 500hp and more... But in 1990 having a 400hp Volvo F12 for example was a luxury... Because most of them had 320, 360, 380hp...
40t is in astraulia normally the minimum, not the maximum, even in 90ies. or am i wrong? and the diesel develeopment was a steep climb like a rocket launch. nowadays diesel engines in cars have more hp. per liter than gasoline engines.
There is a minimum power to weight requirement in the province of British Columbia, Canada, too... _Commercial Transport Procedures Manual_ _Chapter 5.0 Specialized Vehicle Size and Weight Guidelines and Permits_ _Section 5.3.6.C. Equipment Requirements_ "i) Truck Tractor: ... c) All truck tractors must feature a maximum gross weight to power ratio of 150 kg per one horsepower." That's a minimum of 6.7 horsepower or 5 kW per tonne (1,000 kg), or 6.1 horsepower or 4.5 kW per ton (2,000 lb). This type of limit is used to keep underpowered trucks from excessively holding up traffic, particularly on uphill highway grades. In the current market this is no longer a concern, as truck owners choose far more power anyway. In Canada a basic tandem-drive tractor and tandem-axle trailer is allowed to weigh up to 39,500 kg; the BC rule would require only 263 horsepower or 196 kW, and no one even sells a Class 8 highway tractor with that little power.
I remember back in the late 1980's getting a horseman's couch to work and one of them was a Volvo V10 with 500BHP. Smooth and powerful. I can imagine what the Mercedes-Benz engines would be like.
Some of the first trucks I was driving for a living was several MB Actross from the late 90s up to mid 2000's with a v6 or v8 engine. The v8's was very smooth engines with lots of torque. The v6's had some vibrations, but both the v8 and the v6 was very reliable engines. But they where thirsty and smoked a lot. The euro6 straight 6 MB truck engines don't sound good at all.
In South Africa, this series were copied and built by Atlantis Diesel Engine, ( ADE) under licence from Mercedes. They were and onto this day, still very popular, reliable and cheap to maintain. We had and have quite a few still in operation, the most common ones were the 422 V8 variants.
dae ye know that MAN put the V10 TT also in the TGA Heavy haul version? the last one must've been sold in 2006/7 when the introduced the new D26 and the D28 V8 in the TGX. and the Biggest engine Ever going on road in Europe (road legal) was the mighty 48.792 V12 TT
At some point in the 1960's, Mercedes and MAN agreed on developing future engine concepts like the following: MAN focusses in inline engines, Mercedes in V-Shape-Engines. MAN 16.256 and 16.320 had V8 and V10 engine blocks supplied by Mercedes, but using a different combustion method (M-Verfahren). Output was 20 mhp per liter here and there. In 1969, Mercedes introduced a new line of engines called the 400 series, ranging from V6 to V20. First trucks were LP series 1626/1632 to 2226/2232, introducing a new tilting cab for LP trucks with V8 or V10 engine. In 1973, NG series was introduced, V6 engines became available, and when Italy 1976 allowed 44 ton GCW mandating 8 PS/ton, even V12 found their way in NG trucks to deliver in excess of 352 PS needed. In 1979, NG 80 trucks were introduced, first turbocharged V8 (1633/2233) and intercooled (1638/2238) NG trucks were available. And to answer the title: In 1983, Mercedes introduced two heavy-duty tractors called 3250 AS/6x6 and 3850 AS/6x6, capable of 250 tons GCW! And these trucks were the first to implement twin-turbo, intercooled V10 engines of 18.3 liter and 500 PS! So that is where this story began, and in 1986, MAN introduced new F90 series, with 19.362 being top of the line. About one year later, new 19.462 was introduced, intercooled V10 twin turbo with 460 PS, 40 less than the quite similar Mercedes engine, and following customer demand, around 1989 the 19.502 was succeeding the 462, available in €1 emissions, later 603 even €2 emissions -

miss the v8 in america. we only had the mack e9 as a more common source with a balanced runtime. Just the attempt at self balance..90 degree fire in a 90 degree block is a fuel saver, and power adder at the same time. 6 cyl is for cheap manufacture, and nothing else.
@mrsnoopy7557 "Fewer breakable parts and therefore reliability" 🤔 if that's right why American trucks aren't popular all over the world? Even it's first time to know mack in my life
@@mohammeds5458 number one is size, they wouldnt fit through most european cities. Number two is horsepower and torque, especially relevant for northern european countries, where they have/need sometimes more then 700hp. If i remember correctly, they are used as roadtrains in Down under because of some of these characteristics
If I’m not mistaken, MAN and Mercedes had some agreement about this common engine development on the German market at least. That resulted in the former answering that 8hp/ton requirement with a turbo I6, whereas Mercedes offered the NA V10.
Scania V8:s with a modified exhaust is amazing to hear tho, u can honestly hear the sheer amount of torques going thru the driveline, with every cylinder stroke!
The V-banked engine has the perfect low rev capability. In Indonesia, where I live, inline-6 diesel truck (whether it has been turbocharged and intercooled or it is still a naturally aspirated), suffer from low end revving. The V8s and also the V10s (built by Japanese marques and some European marques) although the displacement is bigger and have the same power as the inline-6s, they are not suffering low revving at all. The amazing thing is that the gearbox are also the same variant with the inline-6s. Yes it steal fuel but the power of V engines are unmatched by the inline-6s with turbos and superb injection system.
I agree. Too bad the V engines are rare in Indonesian market. It would have been the perfect engines for Indonesia's steep mountain inclines. Which one is your favorite marque?
I had a setra coach with the natural aspirated v8, just 290hp, bus indestructible. Did 1.8 million kilometers without a single problem, and maybe still runs in africa or somewhere else.
The Mercedes Benz Om400 V-shape Series are also available as MTU 183 series! The MTU 12v183 TE94 is the most powerful version available based on the Om400 series : 970kw 1320 HP and 4030nm torque. The inline 6 siblings of the 400 series (om407/427/447/457) available as MTU 6r183 series and as MAN d2866 d0826. Also a inline 5 is available as MB Om409/429 or as MAN D2865
MTU 12v183 TE94 in a road legal truck? which transmission is capable for this power? in my opinion. the 48/790 man from felbermayer/austria and the 900hp in the tractomas 5 axle trucks were the most powerful in road legal heavy haulage trucks. yes for sure, some of those freaky canadia drag race trucks with 60t trailers, have more than 2000hp, but this is some gambling and very short life time of these tuned engines.
I used to drive a MAN ROADHAUS with the high roof cab it was an amazing truck, I think mine was a 460 hp but it pulled like a train which helped alot seen as I was running to Scotland all the time.
There was a further development by Mercedes, the 44* series. I drove a last of the line NG series with a twin turbo OM442, good for 440 hp. The old girl was a gutless wonder compared to modern stuff, but a leaky exhaust made it sound glorious, with a scary howl when you let go of the gas under load. As far as I am concerned, I wouldn't mind a mid 90s tractor with more than 500 hp, as long as it had a good hydraulic retarder. Solid oily parts, mechanical injection, no electronics. Anyone could work on them.
Mercedes twin turbo V8 is a second best sounding diesel engine I have ever heard, maybe sharing that place with Iveco V8 twin turbo. Only that Costruzione Revisione Motori (CRM) W18 is sounding better.
Newer diesel truck should be hybrid, mainly for getting rolling from a stop and steep hills. The main engine and braking could maintain the battery when not in use.
@@justincase9471 haha, not sure how much you are keeping up with the modern trucks, but with a weight of 141'000 lbs does a Scania EV manage about 155 miles on a charge.

@@VisioRacer A friend of mine in my hometown in northern Ontario, Canada inherited his dad's 1975 Peterbilt 359 Long Nose which came with the 12V71N. He rebuilt the "Buzzin Dozen" (yes, the 12 in 12V71 means 12-cylinder.....V means V-configuration.....71 means 71 cubic inches (1.18L) per cylinder). He also turboed it (twin turbo) to the tune of only 14 psi (just under 1 bar) of boost and added bigger injectors (no injector pump in a 2-stroke Detroit). It now produces 930 HP and 2440 lb.ft (3400 n.m) of torque. If you really want to compare apples to apples instead of oranges, let's make it a flat level playing field. Take the turbos off the 4-stroke engines, and then and only then compare the 4-strokes to the "Screamin' Jimmys" (2-stroke Detroit). Most of the 4-strokes here in North America run 30 psi (just over 2 bar) of boost.
@@markdubois4882 well why arent the 2 strokes running 30psi? comparing 4 to 2 stroke will never be apples to apples. There are amazing 2 and 4 stroke engines.

Get a room.
M•A•N even used the 22 liter V12 version in the F8 44.700 heavy haulage truck.
I remember back in the late 1980's getting a horseman's couch to work and one of them was a Volvo V10 with 500BHP.
Smooth and powerful. I can imagine what the Mercedes-Benz engines would be like.
Volvo never made a V10 engine nor a V10 powered truck
Some of the first trucks I was driving for a living was several MB Actross from the late 90s up to mid 2000's with a v6 or v8 engine.
The v8's was very smooth engines with lots of torque. The v6's had some vibrations, but both the v8 and the v6 was very reliable engines. But they where thirsty and smoked a lot.
The euro6 straight 6 MB truck engines don't sound good at all.
The older OM501 V6 Actros sounds much better than the newer OM47X engines, and the Actros V6 was actually available in certain markets until 2014
Hino, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Isuzu also built V10 engines, you should check them out.
Oh yeah, that absolute unit of a 30-litre naturally-aspirated from Isuzu...

Thanks Visio, your english has improved again sounds more natural.
In South Africa, this series were copied and built by Atlantis Diesel Engine, ( ADE) under licence from Mercedes. They were and onto this day, still very popular, reliable and cheap to maintain. We had and have quite a few still in operation, the most common ones were the 422 V8 variants.
It is not a copy when it's built under a license
Watching one of those tractor units doing a burnout is like hearing a priest swear. 😅

dae ye know that MAN put the V10 TT also in the TGA Heavy haul version?
the last one must've been sold in 2006/7 when the introduced the new D26 and the D28 V8 in the TGX.
and the Biggest engine Ever going on road in Europe (road legal) was the mighty 48.792 V12 TT
At some point in the 1960's, Mercedes and MAN agreed on developing future engine concepts like the following: MAN focusses in inline engines, Mercedes in V-Shape-Engines. MAN 16.256 and 16.320 had V8 and V10 engine blocks supplied by Mercedes, but using a different combustion method (M-Verfahren). Output was 20 mhp per liter here and there. In 1969, Mercedes introduced a new line of engines called the 400 series, ranging from V6 to V20. First trucks were LP series 1626/1632 to 2226/2232, introducing a new tilting cab for LP trucks with V8 or V10 engine. In 1973, NG series was introduced, V6 engines became available, and when Italy 1976 allowed 44 ton GCW mandating 8 PS/ton, even V12 found their way in NG trucks to deliver in excess of 352 PS needed. In 1979, NG 80 trucks were introduced, first turbocharged V8 (1633/2233) and intercooled (1638/2238) NG trucks were available. And to answer the title: In 1983, Mercedes introduced two heavy-duty tractors called 3250 AS/6x6 and 3850 AS/6x6, capable of 250 tons GCW! And these trucks were the first to implement twin-turbo, intercooled V10 engines of 18.3 liter and 500 PS! So that is where this story began, and in 1986, MAN introduced new F90 series, with 19.362 being top of the line. About one year later, new 19.462 was introduced, intercooled V10 twin turbo with 460 PS, 40 less than the quite similar Mercedes engine, and following customer demand, around 1989 the 19.502 was succeeding the 462, available in €1 emissions, later 603 even €2 emissions -
one day, MAN bought Büssing, you can still see their cap designe to the present days...also to fit the engine into the frame of the truck...
they still cherish Büssing, they show the Braunschweiger Löwe/Lion as a hood ornament!
miss the v8 in america. we only had the mack e9 as a more common source with a balanced runtime. Just the attempt at self balance..90 degree fire in a 90 degree block is a fuel saver, and power adder at the same time. 6 cyl is for cheap manufacture, and nothing else.
And cheap maintenance and easier to repair and fewer breakable parts and therefore reliability.
@mrsnoopy7557
"Fewer breakable parts and therefore reliability" 🤔 if that's right why American trucks aren't popular all over the world?
Even it's first time to know mack in my life
@@mohammeds5458 number one is size, they wouldnt fit through most european cities. Number two is horsepower and torque, especially relevant for northern european countries, where they have/need sometimes more then 700hp. If i remember correctly, they are used as roadtrains in Down under because of some of these characteristics
@mrsnoopy7557
I'm not from Europe I'm from Saudi arabia our roads are wide and big and I know what talking about.
I miss the Cat 3408
If I’m not mistaken, MAN and Mercedes had some agreement about this common engine development on the German market at least. That resulted in the former answering that 8hp/ton requirement with a turbo I6, whereas Mercedes offered the NA V10.
If I’m truly understood, Mercedes V10 and MAN V10 is one and the same engine)
500 bhp, 2700 nm/torque impressive by todays standards.
However, the MAN F90 502 has "only" 2350 Nm, that is a mistake in the video. The MAN F2000 603 and the MAN TGA 660 have 2700 Nm.
@@RichardScherping thank you for that correction.

Scania V8:s with a modified exhaust is amazing to hear tho, u can honestly hear the sheer amount of torques going thru the driveline, with every cylinder stroke!
Gotta love everything pre euro 4🎉 Great big engines that can be tuned! Good thing Scania still uses V8's and do great!
The V-banked engine has the perfect low rev capability.
In Indonesia, where I live, inline-6 diesel truck (whether it has been turbocharged and intercooled or it is still a naturally aspirated), suffer from low end revving. The V8s and also the V10s (built by Japanese marques and some European marques) although the displacement is bigger and have the same power as the inline-6s, they are not suffering low revving at all. The amazing thing is that the gearbox are also the same variant with the inline-6s.
Yes it steal fuel but the power of V engines are unmatched by the inline-6s with turbos and superb injection system.
I agree. Too bad the V engines are rare in Indonesian market. It would have been the perfect engines for Indonesia's steep mountain inclines. Which one is your favorite marque?
I had a setra coach with the natural aspirated v8, just 290hp, bus indestructible. Did 1.8 million kilometers without a single problem, and maybe still runs in africa or somewhere else.
Where did you sell it to?
I'd love t get my hands on a V8 Setra 200 series one day....
The Mercedes Benz Om400 V-shape Series are also available as MTU 183 series! The MTU 12v183 TE94 is the most powerful version available based on the Om400 series : 970kw 1320 HP and 4030nm torque.
The inline 6 siblings of the 400 series (om407/427/447/457) available as MTU 6r183 series and as MAN d2866 d0826.
Also a inline 5 is available as MB Om409/429 or as MAN D2865
MTU 12v183 TE94 in a road legal truck? which transmission is capable for this power? in my opinion. the 48/790 man from felbermayer/austria and the 900hp in the tractomas 5 axle trucks were the most powerful in road legal heavy haulage trucks. yes for sure, some of those freaky canadia drag race trucks with 60t trailers, have more than 2000hp, but this is some gambling and very short life time of these tuned engines.
Now the L6 engine is the OM460

I drive Man 26480 amazing machine..😊
I used to drive a MAN ROADHAUS with the high roof cab it was an amazing truck, I think mine was a 460 hp but it pulled like a train which helped alot seen as I was running to Scotland all the time.
There was a further development by Mercedes, the 44* series. I drove a last of the line NG series with a twin turbo OM442, good for 440 hp. The old girl was a gutless wonder compared to modern stuff, but a leaky exhaust made it sound glorious, with a scary howl when you let go of the gas under load.
As far as I am concerned, I wouldn't mind a mid 90s tractor with more than 500 hp, as long as it had a good hydraulic retarder. Solid oily parts, mechanical injection, no electronics. Anyone could work on them.
A story on mercedes kurzhauber would be interesting. I still see them still being used in more rural part of southeast asia
and africa and south america and all other poor countries without hard regulations for cars..
Impressive engines.
0:53 that honestly looks like the enginedeck of a WW2 tank xD
The MAN V10 and the Benz OM423LA are the same, originating from a cooperation between them in the 70s
Mercedes twin turbo V8 is a second best sounding diesel engine I have ever heard, maybe sharing that place with Iveco V8 twin turbo.
Only that Costruzione Revisione Motori (CRM) W18 is sounding better.
Newer diesel truck should be hybrid, mainly for getting rolling from a stop and steep hills. The main engine and braking could maintain the battery when not in use.
For city use yes, or even fully EV.
@@rickardwaara2130 Ah yes, who would not love a truck with 15 miles of range when pulling a load.😂
@@justincase9471 haha, not sure how much you are keeping up with the modern trucks, but with a weight of 141'000 lbs does a Scania EV manage about 155 miles on a charge.

That is my dad's truck !
The 502 had 2350nm of torque
2:50 don’t you mean, “…from a 5 cylinder…”???
Yeah. I found out about the five-cylinder later during the production
This is the sort of technical engineering priblem Germany used to excel at.
The D2840 was a great marine engine. Way smoother idling compared to the V8 with cylinder cutout. It’s a shame MAN doesn’t make a V10 anymore.
nice video and some interesting informations. thanks. bye wthe way. those weight pulling man with the smokey exhaust create far more than 1000hp and over 3000nm!

You should do a video on the roxor/cjs
16-17 litre V10 and they couldn't get more power than Scania 14 litre V8. Man had 600hp V10 for heavy haulage in mid 90s, when Scania got new 530hp for 144
Or when they made v8 that was just masterpiece

@@markdubois4882 That’s what I am saying
@@VisioRacer A friend of mine in my hometown in northern Ontario, Canada inherited his dad's 1975 Peterbilt 359 Long Nose which came with the 12V71N. He rebuilt the "Buzzin Dozen" (yes, the 12 in 12V71 means 12-cylinder.....V means V-configuration.....71 means 71 cubic inches (1.18L) per cylinder). He also turboed it (twin turbo) to the tune of only 14 psi (just under 1 bar) of boost and added bigger injectors (no injector pump in a 2-stroke Detroit). It now produces 930 HP and 2440 lb.ft (3400 n.m) of torque.
If you really want to compare apples to apples instead of oranges, let's make it a flat level playing field. Take the turbos off the 4-stroke engines, and then and only then compare the 4-strokes to the "Screamin' Jimmys" (2-stroke Detroit). Most of the 4-strokes here in North America run 30 psi (just over 2 bar) of boost.
@@markdubois4882 well why arent the 2 strokes running 30psi? comparing 4 to 2 stroke will never be apples to apples. There are amazing 2 and 4 stroke engines.
There is no doubt rhat 2 strokes can make amazing power, but look at the specific fuel consumption and you will realize why 4 strokes became the norm.
You forgot the 660hp V10 engine from the MAN TGA Heavy truck series in 2002. It was the last V10, later only V8 with 680 hp and then R6 with 640 hp.
I did mention the 660hp version
Did the job on those engines never had any problems with them but there was one truck with a V12 engine in Croatia a Mercedes Benz 1735 it was fited with a standard V8 but the owner found a V12 an we instaled it it was brutal 850 HP it was a engine for a river ship! The truck drove til 1999 and it was chrased into a bridge the driver had a hart attack and was deda on the spot

The Scania V8 is a Volkswagen engine. I drove MAN, Scania, Mercedes and Volvo for 26 years on International work. The MAN was by far the best
Pretty sure that VW have not done much more then just owning Scania, if so that does not make the V8 any less Swedish then so.
Scania V8 first released in 1969. Pretty sure they weren't owned by VW back then.
The V8 from Scania is NOT a VW engine! Other way around: Scania is teaching MAN and VW how to build excellent engines and transmissions
No, they weren't owned by VW back then, they were even the importer of VW into sweden, But, VW have been making their engines for them.@@teeteetuu94
The 14 litre V8 engine DS14 Scania introduced in 1968 is a completely different engine than the 16 litre V8 that was introduced in the 164 model around 20 years ago. I think the DS14 was developed in collaboration with Mack
