i use the front step behind the grill as a bench then i drink my coffee in the sun sometimes. And if its starts raining just pull up the front grill as a cower
@dubious6718 yes i did. its made for it. im not big but some truckdrivers is big in sweden or europe as well. i think the 4 series has that step as well.
In Europe its a common sight to see drivers at a truck stop or rest area, drop the Scania's front step down and use it as an outside bench seat and have coffee and a chat with a couple of other drivers so that they are taking their rest outside of the cab. Its a very useful feature that most of the cabovers have. 👍
Yeah, the new Volvo even has two cupholders on the step. Well, it's just a round indent in the plastic with a coffee cup icon, but still, finally a manufacturer has realized this habit and done something to prevent knocking the cup off accidentally :) I love these small details...
Considering Scania's - and your own - intentions for this vehicle Bruce, it's well past time that the factory marketing people produced a leaflet - A5 - with all the relevant info about it down to technical specs, servicing time and costs, etc. Presently you're talking to lots of people, and they're leaving empty handed from the exchange, not even your contact details. Time to change that, and Scania can produce something local printers can deal with for you. Remember, specs should be in imperial, not metric .....! Similarly, a large display card that can stand next to the vehicle at shows would give people something to read. If you only have the vehicle until October, can Scania use their resources to arrange test and examination days for fleet buyers and managers around the country, and also to do the same with truck driver magazines ? Your remaining time with the vehicle will soon slip away, please don't be left wishing you'd done more ..... Best regards Bruce, and good luck
That would only make sense if Scania plan to actually sell their vehicles in the US in the foreseable future. But they are not given the current import restrictions. Making a flyer and producing other marketing material likely would give the wrong impression so Scania has wisely choosen not to provide those. The whole point of this vehicle is showing US truckers what is available outside of the USA to slowly convince them that US vehicles are not necessarily 'the best in the world' as they have been told their entire life by greedy domestic truck manufacturers, eager to maintain the current status quo with regard to those import restrictions.
big windscreen is one of the best feature, i promise once they drive in town and have to back up a trailer in tight space, having such a massive wide view helps
..you do this over and over..forget that first thing, is adjust the seat ! The steering can move, but NOT the pedals.. So, let people adjust the seat first ! Let people sit and adjust to their liking the seat, and THEN, the driving weel..People have different heights and weights..
This is / you are so right, every time I think Bruce the seat and also I think he is not using the air in the seat, the seat looks like siting on the floor.
Here in Finland, we have semi on that scania, then dolly and another semi on that 34,5 meters and 76 tons. So when you do have to back it to some grocery stores loading bay, you need some manoeuvrability. Especially at winter. There is no way we could do that with some long nose peterbilt. There is no room for that. And no traction. Even with 2 drive axles, in winter conditions, its better to lift that rear axle up. More pressure on those two wheels
Finns are the best ... Narpes tre og metall .. and also Sisu . Ive only had one service on a Sisu here in Norway and it was cool to drive afterwords ... I was in Nerpes once in 1998 or 97 and it was so fun to go to that school for a week and Salmi and me had so much fun . i havent talked to him for like 28 years it still has a place in my heart
@@dennislittau6320 well... haven't seen coffee on the dash but a shitload of truckers have watterbottles there and as long as nobody cuts them of, the bottles stay there
Also on the Scania. you can use the Gear selection stick to chose the gear manually. For example: when you accelerate empty, you can chose to start in 4th gear, then shift the gear up to 7th for speed. Also they have a kick down button under the accelerator pedal, which holds it in gear..
Bruce put that baby into manual by pressing the end of the gearstalk. Should say m on the dash. Now you can hold in gears alittle longer. Just paddle the gear lever up and down the gears like a race car.
Yeah it’s good to do on an uphill when you want the rpm a bit higher without the truck trying to shift up and losing momentum before it can utilise the gear.
Im not a driver,but a person who i would like to see his surprise driving Scania would be HeavyDSparks ,but i dont know if thats even possible,he does live pretty far ... He does own alot different vehicles along his extended friends and does trucking as well... around Austin TX.
He does seem to fly to Florida every so often though, maybe he could pop in on the way by or maybe there is a show more in their neck of the woods (or past)
I've been saying it for ages. READ THE BLOODY MANUAL. You'll never figure out all the little features by yourself because you won't know what you're looking for. One example I can think of is when I used to own a Golf GTI. I had it a year or so before I gave the manual a good read. I was shocked to see all the features I didn't find by myself. One of them was that you could set your radio volume to go up when the revs of the car went up. I know it's only a silly feature, but there were many more.
100 000 and more km oil change interval comes with reduced lifespan of engine. In Europa after about 500 000 km or 5 year you bay New truck because this extended oil change interval and complex eletronix.
I drive an M.A.N here in the UK,on bulk grain,and animal feeds,the oil changes are done every 75,000 kms (45,000 miles),and we're now at 1.5 million knms (930,000 miles),and still going strong 💪💪👍👍😃😃
imo..a good routine is changing oil and filter twice as often as you are `suppose to`. much less build up of sludge and the engine(or whatever) runs cheaper, better and longer
Our trucks are being serviced at exactly 30.000 miles. These and MAN's are sturdy. Once we took one of our trucks to service at 50.000 miles and it was all ok
Good topic like usual and No laud disturbing music in this video, nice. Little less close-ups of Bruce when he explains what he doing, it had been nice to even see what he does. If so the review will go from good to excellent. 😉😉
When you demo the steering wheel adjuster, turn on the air for the seat. I can understand if you want to run on the bump stops, but you always on all your video have the air on Scania seat off when you demo it. Scania seat is best in class, show it. //Swedish Scania Trucker
Bruce, still didn't showed manual mode, @ the end retarder lever is A/M button for automatic/manual mode, upshift pull up (towards steering wheel), downshift opposite, and shift 2 gears at time just above 1700 RPM (2 times upshift quickly), you saw it it changes 2, sometimes 3 gears in auto (and eco) mode. Just for eg. DAF dump truck in eco mode, empty shifts from 3rd to 7th sometimes 8th, but im allways been using manual mode, especially fully loaded.
Since you mentioned torque wrench, I wonder if Scania does have list of recommended tools with all needed metric bits listed. In case they don't, they should definitely make one :)
Get you a plastic smelting gun or "plastic welder" basically just a soldering gun with a special end and fill them scratches in sand the down smooth and repaint the factory fenders
Bruce, I've been following your channel since you brought the white Scania from Canada. If you really wish to do a show of force with the Scania, while also paying homage to the US trucks of old, especially the large cars of the 80s, reminding people what was lost thanks to the changes in the market but also over-regulation of emissions, my suggestion is to get a full load over Sherman Hill from Laramie and back, but with both inside footage and footage from the outside as you attack the incline.
New box will probably have GNSS, GNSS and GPS work together, but the main difference between GPS and GNSS is that GNSS-compatible equipment can use navigational satellites from other networks beyond the GPS system, and more satellites means increased receiver accuracy and reliability.
I can't imagine the built in system doesn't already in a new truck like this. Phones have been doing it for years. What I'm thinking is it might be able to do dual band for more precise location.
Its about automated cruise control. It uses GPS and maps that have all the details of the road while youre driving and it programs the Cruise control to use specific gear, accelerate or decelerate before or during the uphill to get better fuel economy while having the best possible ETA. Scania had already won multiple competitions when comparing fuel economy to others with this setup.
@@Gazer75 yes, its really advanced system. Theres a lot of things going on with it. It also reads Can-bus data like axle weight. Insane amount of data is incorporated into it.
15:47 Hello Bruce, what you need to do is horsepower match a long nose anything , with your Scania pulling the same gvm, with a load same gvm , and a return empty and do the figures, obviously gearbox ratios need to be close and diff ratios, interesting cab over versus long now!!! And obviously the long snout needs to be new, make It happen.
Where I work, some of our new trucks has adaptive cruise control, so if you get to a red light and there is a car in front of you, you don't have to touch either the brakes or the gas pedal, the truck will slow down to a full stop and then start driving again when the car in front of you is out of the way 🙂
25:20 Man I don't get why gamer chairs are modeled after race car seats. Nobody likes to sit in racing seats. But I have wondered why they don't make gamer chairs that are modeled after actual big rig and city bus driver seats.
Just buy spare truck seat, would probably be better quality than gamer chairs and maybe wouldn't cost that much. And when you add compressor for air suspension to work....
There is a valve that you can fit to solve the issue you have with the brake supply, so that it dumps the service air to the trailer when you apply the park brake.
Hi Bruce UK here,had a new scanny Jan 97 came with a couple of great quality winter coats that match the quality of the truck, still wearing them now 25 yrs on and they look like new,,,,great merch as is the truck., good vids keep on trukkin.
One thing that might be interesting to mention when showing people around the cabin Bruce is the mirror that points straight down in front of the truck grill. If I remember correctly it had to be removed due to the regulations for the US but perhaps a camera might be possible instead that could wire into the standard dash or an addition display somewhere else that only activates under a certain speed. Just an idea. That mirror is extremely useful for urban driving or tight spaces to see how close you are, if there's someone walking in front of you, any other thing that might be hard to spot low down otherwise Also: I have a question regarding your fuel economy. Is the truck using American gallons or imperial gallons for the MPG figure the truck told you on those trips you measured?
What's the recommended OCI on this bad boy, 40,000km!? Fresh engine, first oil...yeah they will stay pretty clean. Second oil fill will go black just from old oil dilution. I am amazed you are running a cab over in the states! Go well Bruce! I'd still do a first oil change at half the first nominated distance to just be sure...it's only oil and a few filters! Get rid of all the running in metal. Be safe. What's the saying? Rubber side down?
I currently drive a scania with 384xxx miles on it and its now awaiting a change of a powersteering pump. 2 hours work to change then good to go again👍
You are getting better at demonstrating it Bruce. But I whish you would also include an emergency brake, a remote control demonstration of the suspension with focus on attaching a trailer, and a patch of really rough road. Keep it up!
friend told me in the USA - especially in the warmer states the diesel is way dirtier - more water in the seperators , more likely to have algee , more rust and sut and dirt - fuel filters between rusty and black colour after driving for 6 months with a nearly new car
Download the XCOM software, with this program you can modify lights and add (TPMS) and many other things to the Scania, change the fifth wheel for a higher one so that you do not hit the rear fenders with the semi-trailer again
When you get it over a pit or in the air go round every nut and bolt with a tapping hammer and listen for a different sound on each one. in the UK we do 'Inspection' every 6 weeks regardless of miles run and that is basically doing what you are doing there especially with regard to road worthiness although the Scania first service has a series of re-torqueing to do as you mentioned. When you get to do the 'L Service' which is done at that higher mileage Scania allow 8 hours becasue EVERYTHING is changed / adjusted / torqued / inspected! Scania are now doing the same as MAN have done for many years which is writing a file image of the truck to a main server in Sweden for recording and updating. The MAN system sends a 'Conversion File' from the truck to the Gateway in Munich which records it and adds any updates that are necessary and then that file is sent back and downloaded on to the truck itself. Laptops are as essential as a set of spanners (wrenches).
great Video. i`ll get my 4 axle tipper in4 weeks. it will be an R 560 with the lift axle like yours have, One of the first in Germany, Greetings from Germany
Im from Canada, the first time I seen a Scania was at the Arrochar hotel. A logging company had 3 Scania R 480's sitting, the drivers were switching out. Fell in love with Scania right there. I think the company was Miller Timber. Red Scanias. Now that parkinglot has a community town hall in its place.
Hey Bruce, Kris from Belgium here. I really enjoy your videos. My father was a truck driver in Europe in the 90's so it brings back a lot of memories. I like the way you make America aware of the great brands we have here. Do you know brands as DAF, Iveco, Mercedes and for the last years Ford (I forgot Volvo) who are also major players on the European market? I understand why you are Branding Scania as it is the Rolls Royce in Europe without the Rolls price! You Americans make America Great again but use Scania to make you bigger as you van imagine!
Bruce, you're still Not changing the engine power with the Eco/Normal/Power option selector on the Scania, it's Always 770hp. It's ONLY changing the modes of how the transmission is gearing up and down. So Please stop telling ppl that you're turning up or down the engine power.
Pulling engine out is pointless stunt from owner perspective... We have one Scania R420 it's 20 years old it's driving 3rd million km and engine was never out. Few clutches, one gearbox repar. We did remove engine heads twice I think for injectors and head gasket (running out of coolant ain't fun😂)... Scania are bulletproof trucks
I find it funny that people get excited in the USA about a truck we see hundreds of every day. On UK roads, we see Scania and Daf mainly then less of Mercedes, Iveco, Volvo, Mann, Renault. they are all cab over.
@@dubious6718 that is true, Edison Motors use all flat glass for easy replacing and easy to source outside OEM. They mentioned that even tractors, trucks and other equipment is changing to curved windows in order to be selling new ones and not losing market to other sources. And of course, curved windows are more expensive..
In Europe 1. service is a check up as you say but also checking all frame/suspension torques on bolt connections. I'm not sure if it also changes engine power settings change to full power and/or it it also changes transmissons settings too. But you have all informations from Scania by now..
6:56 hey Bruce in the center of the powersteering filter is actually also a dipstick to check the level. Also there is a low level sensor on that as well
You shout get the right softwear on a laptop and show everyone how much you can mess around with the truck Yuli might be able to help you more with that most truckers have a laptop to hand so it's good information you can really customise what lights run and a lot of other options
@@markbout257 IF I had a new toy to drive, I'd literally look for every button present anywhere and try it, way before I took first ride. If it doesn't work, check manual. If you are missing something you'd expect, check manual. I'm amazed some people just take it and drive, without pushing all the buttons first.

Yup. They're all great mechanics and engineers. They just need better stuff to work on (like this amazing thing!).
i use the front step behind the grill as a bench then i drink my coffee in the sun sometimes. And if its starts raining just pull up the front grill as a cower

That would only make sense if Scania plan to actually sell their vehicles in the US in the foreseable future.
But they are not given the current import restrictions. Making a flyer and producing other marketing material likely would give the wrong impression so Scania has wisely choosen not to provide those.

Scania would have to build factories in the USA if they wanted to sell there, importing vehicles isn't very popular at the moment
"You want info? Want a coffee? Let me grab some from the factory option coffee machine. *foldsdownfrontgrillstep* Here you go, have a seat."
Says there Air in the seats but they aint switched on 😂 flip up the front switch on the left corner of the seat Bruce 👍
I've noticed that too in every video the seat is collapsed
yes, Bruce, just read the fucking manual ;)
@PowerslideSWE yeah and thats why u read the manual 🤣✌️
Uk here I love seeing the reactions your getting from Americans need to get into some more truck parks with it
Press the ON button on the driver seat so we know that you know that you have an air seat!
Want to say the same I think they don't know the seat is air suspension. 😂
33:58 a roundabout in America. I never thought I would see the day.

Buy a rubber mat to put on floors when going to a show 😊
Or paper, or a lil vacuum and just keep on top of it every so often give it a quick go over.
Keeps the truck looking factory fresh.
As soon as rubber mats come in chrome it will happen!🤣😇
Hi Bruce! 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. So 30,000 miles must be multiplied by 1.6, which means 48,000 kilometers.
At those numbers you might want to use 1.609 so add another 280km ;)
That jumped out at me as well, 40k didnt sound right - but the again, no harm in checking early. 😅
A US mile is different to a UK mile in KM.
@ No its not, what is different is the UK vs US gallon.
Hey Bruce did you already activate the air seat? Make the ride even more comfortable 😂
Hey Bruce, maybe you could also read the Manuel? That'd give you all kinds of little nuggets of info about the truck lol :D

15:47 Hello Bruce, what you need to do is horsepower match a long nose anything , with your Scania pulling the same gvm, with a load same gvm , and a return empty and do the figures, obviously gearbox ratios need to be close and diff ratios, interesting cab over versus long now!!! And obviously the long snout needs to be new, make It happen.
So cool truck. Makes me proud as a Swede. 🤩
Where I work, some of our new trucks has adaptive cruise control, so if you get to a red light and there is a car in front of you, you don't have to touch either the brakes or the gas pedal, the truck will slow down to a full stop and then start driving again when the car in front of you is out of the way 🙂
good luck bruce hope things go successful going ahead with these trucks. it will be surely no problem to you😎
25:20 Man I don't get why gamer chairs are modeled after race car seats. Nobody likes to sit in racing seats. But I have wondered why they don't make gamer chairs that are modeled after actual big rig and city bus driver seats.
Weight and cost would be 2 main factors and maybe looks also ....
@doposud a truck driver's seat looks more like good furniture than a racecar seat.
@ i'm not saying it wouldn't be better but it would look odd at start becose it is not something people usually see at someone's home
@@doposud To be fair, neither is a race car seat.
Just buy spare truck seat, would probably be better quality than gamer chairs and maybe wouldn't cost that much. And when you add compressor for air suspension to work....
Roof air deflector needs to be up😊
There is a valve that you can fit to solve the issue you have with the brake supply, so that it dumps the service air to the trailer when you apply the park brake.
Hi Bruce UK here,had a new scanny Jan 97 came with a couple of great quality winter coats that match the quality of the truck, still wearing them now 25 yrs on and they look like new,,,,great merch as is the truck., good vids keep on trukkin.
Swede here 🇸🇪♥️ Bruce No need to read a boring manuel since a lot of dudes tell you everything here in the comments. Keep at it 🍺🍺
One thing that might be interesting to mention when showing people around the cabin Bruce is the mirror that points straight down in front of the truck grill. If I remember correctly it had to be removed due to the regulations for the US but perhaps a camera might be possible instead that could wire into the standard dash or an addition display somewhere else that only activates under a certain speed. Just an idea. That mirror is extremely useful for urban driving or tight spaces to see how close you are, if there's someone walking in front of you, any other thing that might be hard to spot low down otherwise
Also: I have a question regarding your fuel economy. Is the truck using American gallons or imperial gallons for the MPG figure the truck told you on those trips you measured?
What's the recommended OCI on this bad boy, 40,000km!? Fresh engine, first oil...yeah they will stay pretty clean. Second oil fill will go black just from old oil dilution. I am amazed you are running a cab over in the states! Go well Bruce! I'd still do a first oil change at half the first nominated distance to just be sure...it's only oil and a few filters! Get rid of all the running in metal. Be safe. What's the saying? Rubber side down?
I currently drive a scania with 384xxx miles on it and its now awaiting a change of a powersteering pump. 2 hours work to change then good to go again👍
You are getting better at demonstrating it Bruce. But I whish you would also include an emergency brake, a remote control demonstration of the suspension with focus on attaching a trailer, and a patch of really rough road. Keep it up!
friend told me in the USA - especially in the warmer states the diesel is way dirtier - more water in the seperators , more likely to have algee , more rust and sut and dirt - fuel filters between rusty and black colour after driving for 6 months with a nearly new car
Download the XCOM software, with this program you can modify lights and add (TPMS) and many other things to the Scania, change the fifth wheel for a higher one so that you do not hit the rear fenders with the semi-trailer again
When you get it over a pit or in the air go round every nut and bolt with a tapping hammer and listen for a different sound on each one. in the UK we do 'Inspection' every 6 weeks regardless of miles run and that is basically doing what you are doing there especially with regard to road worthiness although the Scania first service has a series of re-torqueing to do as you mentioned.
When you get to do the 'L Service' which is done at that higher mileage Scania allow 8 hours becasue EVERYTHING is changed / adjusted / torqued / inspected!
Scania are now doing the same as MAN have done for many years which is writing a file image of the truck to a main server in Sweden for recording and updating. The MAN system sends a 'Conversion File' from the truck to the Gateway in Munich which records it and adds any updates that are necessary and then that file is sent back and downloaded on to the truck itself. Laptops are as essential as a set of spanners (wrenches).
Oil ,coolant and fluids along with lights ,tyres and wipers are part of the drivers walk round before driving starts
Damn i start to follow trucks now!, 🤩 Regards from Sweden, didn´t expect that we was this good with trucks 😂 Love the channel!
great Video.
i`ll get my 4 axle tipper in4 weeks. it will be an R 560 with the lift axle like yours have,
One of the first in Germany,
Greetings from Germany
Drop me some pics on email! Id really love to see the spec
SCANIA IS THE KING OF THE ROAD.
Nice truck. Would be cool to see it in Canada
You should see Scanias Longline.thats a cab for usa😄
Hi Bruce I am from Scotland 🏴 I drive scania bus and lorrys I think scania is definitely the best. I love watching your videos on TH-cam 👍
Im from Canada, the first time I seen a Scania was at the Arrochar hotel. A logging company had 3 Scania R 480's sitting, the drivers were switching out. Fell in love with Scania right there. I think the company was Miller Timber. Red Scanias. Now that parkinglot has a community town hall in its place.
Hey Bruce, Kris from Belgium here. I really enjoy your videos. My father was a truck driver in Europe in the 90's so it brings back a lot of memories. I like the way you make America aware of the great brands we have here. Do you know brands as DAF, Iveco, Mercedes and for the last years Ford (I forgot Volvo) who are also major players on the European market? I understand why you are Branding Scania as it is the Rolls Royce in Europe without the Rolls price! You Americans make America Great again but use Scania to make you bigger as you van imagine!
I forgot MAN as the Bentley of Trucks 😂
Bruce, you're still Not changing the engine power with the Eco/Normal/Power option selector on the Scania, it's Always 770hp.
It's ONLY changing the modes of how the transmission is gearing up and down.
So Please stop telling ppl that you're turning up or down the engine power.
Pulling engine out is pointless stunt from owner perspective... We have one Scania R420 it's 20 years old it's driving 3rd million km and engine was never out. Few clutches, one gearbox repar. We did remove engine heads twice I think for injectors and head gasket (running out of coolant ain't fun😂)... Scania are bulletproof trucks
I know how they drive just love to see people's reactions to how nice it drives will it ever make a trip to Canada
I find it funny that people get excited in the USA about a truck we see hundreds of every day. On UK roads, we see Scania and Daf mainly then less of Mercedes, Iveco, Volvo, Mann, Renault. they are all cab over.
Criticising the big windshield lmao American truckers with their loowwwww visors and no visibility
or spilt windows cause they say they are cheaper.
@@dubious6718 that is true, Edison Motors use all flat glass for easy replacing and easy to source outside OEM.
They mentioned that even tractors, trucks and other equipment is changing to curved windows in order to be selling new ones and not losing market to other sources. And of course, curved windows are more expensive..
In Europe 1. service is a check up as you say but also checking all frame/suspension torques on bolt connections. I'm not sure if it also changes engine power settings change to full power and/or it it also changes transmissons settings too. But you have all informations from Scania by now..
The big important question we all want to know even us in Europe, when you tip the cab does the coffee spill everywhere, I very much doubt it 😊
A very good man has promoted scanja there in the big church; ) hope the universe rewards your efforts abundantly
That thing looks like it’s floating on a cloud going down the road.😊
Beautifully put Bruce 👏 👌 😊😊gladly appreciate how you represent Scania products brotha.
He was so ready! to Buy one :)
I think you will find it does the grade logic for the gearbox on the hills to be more efficient with the gear changes.
He is hooked
Great salesmanship 😎👍🏾
good video, camera man did a nice job
6:56 hey Bruce in the center of the powersteering filter is actually also a dipstick to check the level. Also there is a low level sensor on that as well
Je was me voor!
@ haha yessir ken die autos van binnen en van buiten maat van mij doet niks anders dan aan scania werken
You shout get the right softwear on a laptop and show everyone how much you can mess around with the truck Yuli might be able to help you more with that most truckers have a laptop to hand so it's good information you can really customise what lights run and a lot of other options
I'm surprised scania didn't send more support for this
Another question, when you take your foot off the throttle with the retarder engaged, does it automatically activate the brake lights?
Touch-up paint and some correction after will do it.
I love everything about this truck.
A bit of a clickbait title, a six weekly maintenance inspection is the norm for our vehicles. If you have done damage in six weeks, that is on you 😂😂
Z I am glad the daily videos are coming back really enjoying this love the semi trucks miss Peterbuilt content 😮💨😮💨😮💨🔥🔥👌
I will be at truck show in louisville this year I do want see that truck for sure ok.
When inspecting for leaks on the engine and transmission, a slight seepage from the retarder is normal.
Those seats dont they have air suspension?? We had those in our old Daf like 20 years ago as standard so I guess the Scania must have that too.
They have he just don't use it
It does, he hasn't found the switch yet to activate it.
So much he is on about his coffee maker and then he doesnt know how his seat airs up 😂. Not good for a salesman 😏
@@markbout257 IF I had a new toy to drive, I'd literally look for every button present anywhere and try it, way before I took first ride. If it doesn't work, check manual. If you are missing something you'd expect, check manual. I'm amazed some people just take it and drive, without pushing all the buttons first.
Air the seat up , when you show people the truck set up the seat for them not everybody likes sitting on the floor !!!!
In europe we take our shoes off when we enter the truck❤❤
Put a set of black wing tops on for hauling
Great video Bruce.
2M subs isn't far away
I really wish I could take that Scania for a spin. Really see what the latest in Swedish technology is like.
As I have mentioned before, I think that Scania are making the most drivable truck engines. From well below 1000 up to 2000.
