- BEST TRUCKS - USA vs EUROPE
What is the best truck in America and what is the best truck in Europe?
I talked to truck drivers in five countries to get the answer.
I traveled from Chicago, Illinois, USA to Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, to Zurich, Switzerland, Cracow, Poland, and Rome, Italy and I went to truck stops in each country to talk to the truck drivers.
In this video I asked a simple question: "What is the best truck out there?"
We got many different opinions but eventually we got our winners.
Check out the video to see what trucks truck drivers like and let me know in the comments what is your favorite semi truck !

Retired after 35 years. Scania V8 770hp is the King
I love the V8! So smooth
I'm starting to train to be a HGV driver and it's my dream truck
Scania and Volvo. Them Swedes make good quality stuff.
The amount of languages you speak is very impressive, keep it up.
Thank you. I'd like to add more. Just need more free time lol
Very impressive you even had the schwitzer Deutsch in control, how about a golden oldies show, what happened to Steyr, Saurer and even the smelly old Jelcz trucks?! 😊
Learning languages is not that difficult just remember 5 things.
1) Don’t be afraid to talk. You will make mistakes that is for sure and they will laugh at you…
2) That is good laugh because they will help you to say it. Everyone loves when someone makes effort to learn their language so they will help you
3) Learn to ask the questions and basic stuff like numbers, time, directions
4) remember that beer 🍺 is beer even if it is called cerveza, olut, öl or something else. It doesn’t change.
5) Learn the swear words. Then you know what to avoid, but remember that you are allowed to use those. If you hit your finger with a hammer and it hurts then a swear word tells exactly how you feel and others know it too.
I speak 5 languages daily and speak 8 languages and learning more…
@verttikoo2052 I think #1 advice is don't be afraid to talk. Even if you know just a few words it's a great ice breaker and they will always be happy to teach you something new. Great tips! 👍
@@chriskunadrive My teacher told me those and She could speak 27 languages. We called Her Madame. She was absolutely brilliant. 🥳 But as you said the don’t be afraid part is the most important because it is for sure you will say something incredibly stupid and funny or embarrassing someday 😱🤣 They will laugh and after that say what went wrong and laugh some more 🤭👍 It is good not bad laugh.
I think the fact that European drivers have so many different personal favorites, while the US mostly agree on one, show that there is a much healthier competitive market when it comes to trucks in Europe compared to the US.
@@MarieSallaupHalse that is a very good point!
It has more to do with popular culture than competition. The peterbilt is optimus prime. If scania or MB had a popular transformer modeled after it, they would be a lot more famous too.
@@laracroft938 nope, it has to do with the market. the european truck market is way better in every aspect then the american truck market.
@@laracroft938 Dude are you seriously matching real world trucks with fictional characters? Seriously?
@@commandbrawler9348 This is just false. The room and living space in European trucks suck big time.
Other than Scania being the king, I’m impressed by how many languages you can speak!!
That crown rests with Volvo 780
Swedish trucks are the best. Duly noted.
Koeningsegg better start making trucks so there is any compertition.
The best truck in the world Scania
@@tonytorres7417 Scania is a sweet truck! 👍
bit overhyped in my opinion.I had Scania before but after driven DAF there is no way going back
I'm 58, Debt free, have 10k left on my house, I have no family..... and an introvert... I start Trucking School August 30th, plus reply if you are looking to rent or buy trucks..
How to prove you ain't a truckdriver 😂😂😂
Scania is terrible
@@stigandrmyrardalur5208 How to prove you're an idiot.
I'm not sure you can make a comparison here when American drivers have probably never driven a European truck and vice versa.Having watched Bruce Wilson who has driven both he gives the impression that European trucks are years in front of US trucks when it comes to technology and comfort.I like a truck that steers straight,brakes,has a heater and most importantly has a radio that works.
European trucks are tiny. The living space is tiny and claustrophobic. They might be good for driving but terrible for living.
Here in New Zealand we regularly use both American & European trucks. We even use Japanese trucks as well.
Which ones are the favorite?
@@chriskunadrive It's hard to say, it really comes down to the application/use which determines which type is most favored. All 3 types are very common, cabover trucks are better suited for quite a few of our roads, which in that regard would favor Japanese & European trucks more, though we do also get American cabovers alongside the longnose models.
Japanese trucks are usually used for light to medium duty work, while American & European trucks are used for heavy duty work. American trucks are known for reliability & simplicity, while European trucks are known for power & comfort.
European trucks are especially popular in our general freight transport industry, while American trucks are especially popular in our logging, heavy duty towing (Wreckers), and heavy haulage industries.
@dallasfrost1996 Does the larger American living space and cabs not make a difference in New Zealand? I would suffocate in those European cab living space
@@farzana6676 Sleeper cab size isn't a big deal here, as most truckers in New Zealand either do day or night shifts (or a combination of both) and are able to return home the same day or early hours of the following morning. For the few truckers that do longhaul deliveries, usually they're able to find a motel/hotel to park up to rest.
The battle between Volvo and Scania will never end 😂
Scania i s preferred by drivers worldwide but by far the biggest truck maker in the world is MB. I have seen a lot of 50 year old short hood 6x6 MB trucks in Africa that are unstoppable. They work under conditions that are unimaginable to US/Canadians. Jungle and Desert (the Sahara is about the size of the whole US) are very hard on the equipment and trucks are always overloaded by a factor of two or more.
I mean yeah except for North America which uses long nose and even Australia which they use both it depends not one is better than the other.
Add Australia to the list
150-200 ton avg road train load
driven on no roads A lot of inhabitable territory to go through daily equal to the equatorial conditions
@@lelins300 That is why I wonder Australians tend to use puny underpowered US trucks. I'd think for a roadtrain a 750+hp Scania or Volvo would be a better choice than a 520hp US truck.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 There are a few reasons as to why American trucks are predominantly used for Australian Road-Trains. There are other reasons, these are just the main ones:
1) They're locally built. All the "American" trucks in Australia are designed and built in Australia, specially for Australian/New Zealand conditions.
2) Cab space. American trucks have much larger sleeper cabs, providing more head room & walking space. Perfect place to live in for long hauls.
3) Fuel tank capacity. American trucks by default/factory spec are able to carry twice as much diesel, the outback is large with fuel stations few and far between.
4) Convenience of maintenance. Longnose trucks allow great access to the engine bay while still having the cab area usable. Ideal for the driver to have somewhere to get out of the extreme outback heat.
@@dallasfrost1996 Fuel capacity is not a problem on European trucks. Did you ever saw super heavy haul trucks from let say MAN? It can pull 250 metric tons, and coz it has 4 axles on very short semi there is no room for fuel tanks betwen axles...it still has 1000 liter tank. It is located behind a cab. So for regular 3 axle semi...you can put 1600 liter tanks easy if you need ir.
I've driven many many trucks in my career as a stand in driver and I would have to agree that scania rules hands down, especially the V8
Holy crap. I'm Dutch but I live in Poland. But I am so freaking impressed with your Polish. How did you learn?
Edit: nvm, it's your home country 😅
Scania and Volvo is the best trucks in the world!!
i there a difference between Scania and MAN? its from the same Company Traton(VW) like Neoplan, International(US Trucks) and VW Truck
Says the Swede....
Why oh why film vertical??
It is called VVS (vertical Video Syndrome)
Watching on my TV, 2/3 of my screes is black.🤪
Horizontal or landscape makes more sense. More watchable!
90% of TH-cam viewers watch on mobile. Most people watch short form videos too. I record with my phone - whenever I get a chance just pull out my phone and record. It would be hard to carry a professional camera everywhere. But I get it - it is annoying when watching on TV
@@chriskunadrive You can record landscape video with a smartphone.
You can watch landscape video on a smartphone or mobile devices like a I-pad.
Just hold your smartphone horizontal during playback.
I record and play back horizontal video's all the time.
It is not difficult, just hold your phone horizontal and record your video.
No need for any "professional" equipment.
Well, that video made my day! Thank you!😊
And especially, I bow down regarding your exceptional language skills. Wspaniały!
Greetings from Estonia!
@@ollibox pozdrawiam serdecznie 😀
Notice, no one mentioned Merc😂
Honestly I did not see too many Mercedes at the truck stops. Renault was popular. I am wondering if Mercedes is more expensive than the other trucks
@@chriskunadrive
Yes, it is. By a mile. Also, their trucks are loaded with electronics
Those long nose Peterbilt would not be able to get through almost any village, and even many mountain passes would be impossible... There's a reason for cab-over in Europa!
Imagine a quick delivery downtown Barcelona and you're driving a Peterbilt 379 with a 53 foot trailer lol
same for the US fire trucks
America has no such problems. We build our roads for big rigs. Not for horses and bicycles.
It's not a question on best or worst but just that Europe and USA have different needs...
Each driver has their own preference
Nope it is the world vs US lobby, the whole world exept the US using Euro type of trucks
Naa. I’m not a truckdriver but rode my bicycle all around Europe, several times, and up and down through USA, border to border, 4 times. The difference is notable. In the US, the trucks are struggling both up, and down, the mountains, can’t maneuver in the cities and are just generally taking too much space and the noise is irritating. In Europe they glide quite elegantly through the mountain regions and can navigate tight European city streets, all in comparable nice quiet fashion. Plus, in Europe, the drivers tend to follow the traffic regulations except for a few boneheads.
@@VerdoVeri Here in New Zealand we regularly use Both American & European trucks. The same goes for Australia as well.
@@VerdoVeri realy? Mercedes own Detroit Diesel(truck engines) BharatBenz, Freightliner(US Trucks) , FUSO(Japan), Mercedes-Benz-Lkw, RIZON, Setra(Bus), Thomas Built Buses and Western Star(US Trucks) or VW owns Scania, MAN, Neoplan, International(US Trucks) ....
Scania is the best truck in the world
Scania for life.
Chris, you speak impressively many languages, well done!! It's a nice video too ))
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. All the best to you!
Comfort and ultimate reliability- lifecycle costs and resale value the SCANIA is hard to beat .
There is a lot more information out there these days that shows that European trucks are 10 to 15 years ahead of their North American counterparts when it comes to Driver comfort,the quietness of the cab,the smoothness of the ride ,etc.
The people who have driven on both sides of the Pond,most of us agree that the American truck mainly Peterbilt and Kenworth are real work horses. Personally, I would agree European trucks are ahead of the game when it comes to what I mentioned above.
I own a mixed fleet myself and I have a lot of experience owning different highway trucks . In North America currently there is nothing better than Peterbilt and Kenworth in my personal opinion.
North American trucks have to do better when it comes to noise insulation, also they have to put up the driver’s cab and sleeper on airbags upfront as well, which is possible because you are already mechanically disconnected from the hood in front of you.
We have the same DPF/DEF Emissions problems, but I think in Europe they have less emission’s problems than us because all trucks in Europe are operated under a 48 V system which I think is more reliable overall.
Living space in European trucks suck.
Best truck - they dont make one
Legendary statement 🙌 👏 👌
Fajny film i kanał, trzymam kciuki za jego rozwój ^^
Last driver......love him....wander how he would feel driving some European trucks if hes stuck in that one since 85....but damn how many miles
Bruce Wilson needs to find him and lend him his Scania for a few trips.
11:39 thats a dodge challenger in black
Nice ❤
Yeah, the love American muscle 😀
In Australia we all brands of TRUCKS, no matter the name or brand, they all have a place somewhere in our trucking industry.
There's Kenworth and Peterbilt in Australia?
@farzana6676 there's KENWORTH, MACK, VOLVO, SCANIA, MERCEDES, DAF, PETERBILT, FORD, BEDFORD, INTERNATIONAL, ETC
Ford's truck is based on the VOLVO FH collection. Scania is the best of all.
Ford's truck is not based on the Volvo.
Interesting. It was pretty cool to see the Ford
@@virtueofhate1778 Look at the Volvo FH lights and other design, very much the same.
@@virtueofhate1778 Or maybe the Volvo FM would be a better model for comparison.
@@SPPhotography89 All trucks have similar design elements. F-Max is completely Fords own design and it has nothing to do with Volvo.
I love the mic on the wooden spoon. :D Great!
I think you're the only one that noticed lol 😆
Peterbilt trucks to dubai Hills estate
But how about Volvo?
It's the #2 in Europe. In the US definitely favorite among foreign drivers.
@@chriskunadrive That's fine
How can I contact you about advertising?
Both truck are better than trucks in my country
Where are you?
I'm a retired Brit HGV driver, I used to do Agency driving, Tesco's, Argos furniture, Local Pallet Network Co. UK. I can not think of a day in that life I would agree, to use a Yank Truck in a built-up area, I've had enough close calls with a Cab-over, and then only because of the blind-spot mirrors, I've driven everything, in the commercial car park, from light vans, to Scania V8(but it was only the 580)I last worked Delivering Perkins Diesel Engines (Caterpillar Engines to you Yanks)So 45tn was a regular load, Am I right America doesn't do those loads ???
America does similar payloads as Europe. 36 270 kg.
European trucks do feel more refined in terms of ride, and noise but American trucks have amazing living space in the cab with generous fridge space and room to fit a tv.
So European trucks better for driving. American trucks better for living.
I get it is 2024 - all consume mobile content and all
but srsly landscape video over portrait
overall a great video!
I think it's like 90% viewers watch on mobile. All short form videos are in portrait mode on IG, TikTok, etc. Hardly anyone watches videos on a desktop computer anymore.
@@chriskunadriveI still watch landscape. It's the orientation for a proper video.
@@chriskunadriveI still vastly prefer watching videos horizontally. A much better experience. I thought this video would just be a short non informative Tik Tok video. I would've enjoyed it better on landscape.
The us truckers only say peterbuilt because they ever had the opportunity to drive a euro truck 😅
But in a peterbuilt you can live more comfortable tho
Euro trucks are tiny. No American driver can live in those tiny cabin space.
For me as a driver in North America, my weapon of choice is Kenworth. I prefer the design both inside and out. As well, I have never been drawn to the cult type products, ie: Apple and HD.
Forr me function trumps form
@@alsteeves2044 I would say it's #2 among drivers. Still made by Paccar just like the Pete
@@chriskunadrive You're kidding me. LMAO
@chriskunadrive Paccar also own Daf!
You need to go to the Netherlands or the UK theres a lot of truck over there.
Wow, ich bin beeindruckt wieviele Sprachen du sprichst! Das motiviert, mit Spanisch weiter zu machen!! Keep doing what you do, great video!!
Thank you for the kind words! Es macht viel Spass verschiedene Sprachen zu sprechen :) Yes, learn Spanish. Here is my free lesson: "Mas tacos y mas cervezas por favor!" :)
@@chriskunadrive No cervezas para mi! Es mejor 😇! Por cierto, mi nombre también es Christoph 😉
I think semi trailers are great whereever
I think you're right. It doesn't matter what make or model - it will bring a smile to a kid's face anywhere in the world.
Fueling gas only. ORLEN station
Drivers who have Driven many Trucks know better than a salesman who passes then through quick. A Driver knows which has needed more attention in my book. Volvo is smooth in my experiance, But found Scania bit better on fuel, But i dont pay the bills. Ask a commercial truck garage machanic for a repair comparrison.
great video you should do one asking about MPG because this does not exist anywhere
Next time! Thanks for the suggestion
Dein Deutsch ist gut :D
Glaube der letzte Fahrer sollte mal einen MAN, DAF, Renault, Scania oder Volvo fahren dann weiß er was ein Top LKW ist :D
You should start a language education TH-cam channel as well 😅
Scania to Europe boyz is what Honda is for Ricers or VW for Balkans.
All faults are just features...
Wow amazing, how many languages do you speak?
Polish, German, Italian, Spanish, and English. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Great video ,fun to watch!❤️🤍
Thank you 🤗 glad you enjoyed it!
Is this person american or European?😂😂 So fluent in so many languages!!
As someone from Sweden my vote goes to Scania and Volvo😎
I'm Polish but I live in the US
@chriskunadrive Are you US citizen? US patriot?
@farzana6676 Yes I am a US citizen. Please define a "patriot" 😀
Nice. Be safe out there
Did I see red Freightliner Cascadia behind you at 6:50 ?
Yes that was a Cascadia
WTF, how many languages does he speak?
Wow Mr I'm so impressed you know so many language different of them wow😅
Thank you! 😃
Truly impressed by the number of languages you can fluently speak. May I suggest you learn Portuguese, as we take it as an insult if approached by someone who thinks we must speak and understand Spanish. We're different people.
This was in Spain. Never thought you guys get insulted if someone speaks Spanish to you. I spoke to an Ukrainian guy in Polish and he was fine
@@chriskunadrive I truly admire your channel and please don't take my comment as a critique. Love your enthusiasm and wished I could speak different languages so well as you do.
Most foreign people think we don't mind speaking Spanish as we engage naturally. Most of us seem to understand and manage to get by in Spanish but never the other way around, as most Spanish people can't speak any other language other than Spanish. Dubbed TV in Spain might be one of the many reason for this to happen and in most European countries that the TV is dubbed this phenomenon happens (Italy, Germany, etc).
The reason we are not happy to speak in Spanish has deep roots in the centuries old fight for our own independence that was fought in battle, along many different historic periods. If they could they would snatch us and in some occasions managed to do so.
These days we are good neighbours but Spanish will always look down on the Portuguese as inferior people as they think their global empire was way better than ours. Go figure that one out but it happens and I heard it myself many times.
You should come and visit us to understand what I mean. It's like speaking Swedish to a Danish, or vice versa. They will understand but won't be very happy with you due to history. Or going to Brazil and trying to speak Spanish with them with the argument that it's all Latin America, right?
Tourists coming to our country that don't speak Portuguese are discreetly advised that it is better to speak English than try the Spanish with us. We will be polite and friendly but you won't be making many friends over here.
don't know if they are allowed to import new Scania and Volvos. seen that they can import older ones from Canada like 10-20 years old
The perfect truck does not exist, because what one has, the other does not, and vice versa. Scania is a good truck in terms of ergonomics and performance, where there is still plenty of room for improvement. Engineers should ask more experienced drivers to see what they are missing.
only the very new inexperienced drivers said some other truck is best.
All the old drivers said Scania and Volvo.
We have Mercs, and after 300 000km they are horrible to drive.
We also have Scania and Volvo and even close to 1 million km they are like new.
Huge difference, Worst thing for a driver is to go from driving a Scania for a few weeks into an Mercedes.
Just horrible experience.
Even a 15 year old Scania is better condition than a 3 year old Merc.
I'll stick with Peterbilt, the European trucks are smaller than the bathroom in my house, there's no space, nooooo brother, the American monsters are beautiful, bigger, prettier, long live the USA.
In other words Cummins
Kindly survey Australia and Russia both of them have extreme weather conditions
My dream is to visit every country 😀
Oh bye the by The Only Ford truck I've driven in the last 20yrs Broke down M62 @ 21:00 just before it was due to close for roadworks that night, I started my Motor-Mechanic apprenticeship, maintaining Ford D-series/BMC FG in a Fleet-Workshop, So I used to mend "em" and moved on to "bend em" 😂😂😂
I didn’t know SaltBae was a truck driver 😮😂
@@yavorsakutov4676 the truth came out lol
Should have gone to scandinavia
Hopefully next year 😀
Volvo is the biggest truck manufacture in the world Scania the number second. So, in USA thay like a domestik brand, in the rest of the world Volvo and Scania....
WHO has told you that Scania allegedly is the "best truck in Europe"..? 😂😂😂
They're the most unreliable in Europe, has poor driving characteristics and use way to much fuel
Drivers and dealers (watch the video)
@@chriskunadrive l've seen the video, and have driven trucks three decades 😉
Scania is still the WORST trucks in Europe
the reason that scania is the best because it has a long history of well made truks ,now days volvo,man, scania and daf share most of the parts so they kind of the same but still scania is the lambo of the truks
Scania and Man are from the same group, but Volvo shares a lot with Renault that surprisingly no one said.
@@p4olo537 yeah but scania use to be his own thing then was saab scania and now they belong to the vw group whit MAN
So... Do u have a plan to buy Scania R or Volvo FH to drive it in the US?
No but there was a Scania in Chicago a few years ago. I think they shipped it back to Europe
@@chriskunadrive Those prob are for testing
*Sigh... When we will be able to have those luxurious European truck in the states?
It's always been my dream to seen and have European truck roaming in the US
@@chriskunadrive There are Volvo trucks in US though, like Volvo VNL
@@chriskunadrive You should chek out Bruce Wilson he and SCANIA is gonna bring a V8 770 New to the USA for Promoting the tuck.
Is a JOIN VENTURE a yutuber and SCANIA
welcome to norway, then you fast find out what u need...Scania
Peterbuilt are Cummins
Peterbilt is Paccar
some of this is pretty subjective though. can come down to use case. what your doing. if you have to live in the truck or not. ect.
for example we have a fleet of Renaults (which are mechanically Volvos anyway) and mercs (the horrible ones with the digital mirrors and twitchy computer) as a day driver I prefer the Renaults. but for tramping they are much too small, and id live with the mercs faults and lunatic computers for the extra space.
but outside of them hapen to know for actually living in the truck DAF are pretty solid.. though Id probably buy a scania If I could. just a shame they dont make the fun types of cab anymore. there is a company in holland that will modify new scania to a T-cab. but id prefer a proper XL (the one with the table and seats not just a bigger bed)
There's rumours that Scania will enter the North American market.
They're putting Scania engines in the International trucks now. Not sure who will know how to fix them lol
@@chriskunadrive Scania are bringing a R770 with an extended cab to Texas as a demo truck with Bruce Wilson.
Scania marine engines already operates there.
Nobody even mentioned Mercedes xD
Who?

@chriskunadrive Miami is better. Chicago is overrun by gang violence.
....best city in the world....CHICAGO..
Irak is less dangerous right now
Do you live in Chicago?
Both the same company now.
Paccar and Scania?
My best one was a MAN F2000. I once drove a Volvo for a day, it was very good, and a Scania for 3 days, but it was nothing special, like Mercedes and MAN.
Haha you must be joking both those marques are hill detectors they certainly don't pull like Scania Volvo or Iveco
They dont make one...probably good answer because of he had driven with only american trucks only and we'll take that answer as it fits to America as immigrants from europe say it.
American trucks are 40 years behind European ones
USA the largest economy in the world, esily beating the EU even with using trucks that are 40 years behind. EU got a problem.
Scania V8
That was a smooth ride!
Jeez, how many language do you speak? My mother language is hungarian, and i strugguling sometimes to undersand and speak english🥲

MAN IS BEST
what the best truck is also has something to do with the era when they were new on the market!
the list of my trucks that I have driven over the decades
MAGIRUS DEUTZ Hauber (before they were bought by FIAT)
Mercedes Benz
MAN
RENAULT
DAF
IVECO/Magirus (the old ones still had Magirus in the name)
IVECO (the new types from the STRALIS onwards)
VOLVO
worst truck for me IVECO without exception, after 5000 kilometers driven the truck was scrap due to crappy quality in production
I am biased towards MAN, that's because I trained as a truck mechanic and MAN had the best maintenance simplicity.
and the "good star on all roads" (old advertising slogan from Mercedes....)
I'd say the engineers won over the mechanics! unnecessary work to get to the actual fault
Mercedes break down with the most impossible faults! e.g. rain & low-hanging high-voltage cables...! Engine turns off, just like that, just won't start anymore, and why?
"Corporate greed" cut costs in the wrong place and the electronics are not protected against high voltage, or the "automatic transmission" won't switch anymore, why?
Because it is right under the rainwater drain and the water drips into the electronics.
But I can imagine why so many say SCANIA is the best....
maybe it's because a lot of truckers dream of driving a TURBO V8 and the sound when you nail the accelerator pedal to the floor when overtaking
by the way, did anyone know that 4 of the manufacturers on my list have joined forces to compete against MAN and Mercedes?
this! "Club of Four" truck (ironically named after the infamous "Gang of Four" during Mao's time in China)
is known in the USA as MACK
the cheapest of these was the Iveco/Magirus 80M9, no shock absorbers, no heating. air-cooled engine, basically the "Beetle" of light trucks but dirt cheap
the 4 (actually) 5 manufacturers were
IVECO/MAGIRUS (technically two separate companies in the 70)
RENAULT( as MACK in US )** RENAULT has been owned by VOLVO since 2001
VOLVO
DAF
I don't know the MACK with its equipment but in Europe the VOLVO was the best in terms of comfort and safty in the up to 13 ton class
The American MACK Anthem (owned by Volvo) sucks. It looks horrible and the quality sucks
Scania is the worlds best SHIT VERY BAD TO WORSE
So why so many people love it?
@@chriskunadrive MAN IS TOP TEGNOLIGY
Ford made in Turkey,.
Foden
sorry but the Scania is not the best truck in Europe, though i is a quality truck, Scania is overrated who like many use the notions of HP as being the best which pits Scania and Volvo as the best, but in terms of units sold and what is most often used for the heaviest jobs, then the winners are Mercedes and MAN, MB and MAN being the de facto leaders in heavy haulage with their off-the shelf trucks that outclass Scania and Volvo, be that in Europe, South America or Australia, what many people also miss is both MB and MAN make far bigger engines than they put in trucks, they just don't put them in trucks, because in the main you don't need them, for example MAN make engines that dwarf by orders of magnitude anything that Scania and Volvo make, need a ship engine or an engine to function as a genset power station then MAN make it, as for MB DPS have quite a few engines larger than what they put in trucks.
look at what most of the heavy haulage company use in Europe, its MB and MAN, even in Australia some mining company's are discovering that a
Well it's not about quality or how comfortable it is let's say in germany poorly spec scania tipper is about 180k at the same time Man on Mercedes you can get for 160k even some are for 130k so if you are owener of big company and not drive thos truck by your self the the chois is not dificult. And thats only for tippers if it is for heavy haul then I tink price differ is even bigger. Don t now about new Man but in previes version for me siting position was terreble - legs were to long but hands wher to short😂
@@lietotajss the price for heavy haul will be more expensive for MAN and MB than Scania or Volvo, as Scania and Volvo are not good heavy haul trucks per se and MAN and MB are considered much better at it, likewise don't forget used Scania price suffers from idiot tax that inflates the price along with them being less common than the likes of MB etc.
1 min video of American truck and 12 mins of European truck.. You dint show interior of a nice peterbilt either
