So in America and Australia you can order A volvo with a cummins engine if you want yeah i'll give you that 1. Volvo europe you can have a Volvo engine or a Volvo engine. The FH which is the truck in question came originally with a 12ltr straight 6 in rating's from 380-420 bhp and there was the 16ltr straight 6 which was a 520 to start with. The truck in the video the 1 which i commented about is a version 3 FH with the volvo 13ltr straight 6 rated at 480 which to anyone that knows is quite clearly displayed on the cab side. Without serious modification to the cab floor or even raising the cab you wouldn't fit a V8 under the cab because everything under there is designed to fit yeah go on you guessed it A VOLVO ENGINE none of which are a V8 they're all straight 6's even the might 16ltr 750 bhp monster that they only let us and the Aussies have. And guess what other european manufacturers offer engine wise. Mercedes you can have a merc engine or a merc engine, M.A.N you can have a M.A.N engine or a M.A.N engine, Iveco you can have an Iveco engine or Iveco. Scania the same, DAF is the paccar motor which was developed by DAF in europe and then certified to US EPA regulations 25 years ago before they developed their own big engine you could get a cummins but only rated at 530 from the factory, Renault they use rebadged Volvo unit's with there own software but seeing as Volvo is the parent company that's understandable, Now you go crawl back from wherever it is you decided to pop your tiny brain from and don't tell me i know nothing about truck's

I was recovering a 5-quarter out of the woods during a blizzard while trying to keep out of the ruts my boom struck a power pole that came down on to the top of my truck and knocked out all the power in this little German village. I was waiting to see if villagers with torches and picks were coming up the hill for my ass. What a night that was.

Trucking in the US has been an integral part of the nations economy for as long as they’ve existed, more than any other nation by far. Even China is more than tripled by the U.S. lol. Why do you think the US made everyone else look like a joke in WW2 when it came to manufacturing of vehicles and transportation. We had so much transportation built into our society via trucks and vehicles in general that we simply increased that manufacturing and had so much leftover we sent it to everyone else as well lmao. Trucks and jeeps especially, even the Soviet Union receiving vast armadas of American made vehicles that were likely the only reason they didn’t just collapse vs Germany. While Germany has to rely on many horses, the Soviet Union among others was receiving near endless amounts of logistical transport vehicles from the U.S.

    The bus won't move with the doors open, and the doors won't close. You can't drive with passengers with the doors open incase someone falls out! But the problem is with safety switches, sensors and such. the easiest way to solve this would be to bypass the door interlocks and drive the bus to the garage where it can then be properly fixed.
    The interlock systems are designed to be able to be bypassed if needed for maintenance there will be a local way, some wire or connection you can short out to tell the bus it's 'safe' regardless of the situation. Or a global way, where all interlocks are disabled. Note that these interlocks are a different system from the engine management.
    The more complicated solutions will be to mechanically interfere with the doors to either make the sensor think they are closed, or to force them shut.
    Either way it just saved the bus company £500-1000.

I don't know who designed the injector hold downs for the 3.0L straight 6 CDI but they were either drunk or stupid. Same goes for the company that made the underhood wiring coating as well. Outside of those unforgivable flaws the E-320 CDI we had was awesome. It got 35-40 mpg cruising at 75-80mph and handled great as well. Oh and the idiot who designed the key system that would let you into the car but wouldn't start because the $1600 sensor died should also be flogged.
