Yes

Vote who makes the best Trucks Volvo Or Mercedes

Absolutely 😄

Volvo?

Volvo Vote here.

hes done it before a few years ago

@@FlobySop64 wish he could done about reviewing the powerboat also.

He is even reviewing spitfire

Well he reports from the UK. There are only Euro trucks available

Bugattis

Yeah and 2h charging 😂

Definitely not ready for prime time

More than likely be around 125/150 when Pulling 44t

and this is for sure "UP TO"... In real life with load, low temperatures and higher speed (motorway) it will be maybe 100miles....

At Volvo because they didn't take the effort to make a proper electric truck, Tesla semi magnitude higher range and power 😉

Sounds like your talking from experience 😂

never leave a fridge on the passenger seat.

What will happen then?

@@AminurRahman-xz6ln since the whole cab will tilt 90 degrees so will the cupholders, making everything in them fall out.

😁

Who's Martin?

@@Joey_StanleyGaming The guy in the video

@@TheInternetDawg What video?

@@wallachia4797 This one

Reviewer's name is Matthew short form is Matt

Tesla SemiTruck is better for ya: 0-60 mph in 5 seconds without a trailer. It can climb even steep hills easily.

@@Seventh7Artdidn’t ask

@@Seventh7Art no it cant lmfao it doesnt exist almost all stats have been proven to be impossible with anywhere near teslas current tech lmfao

@@Seventh7Art its not about 0-60 but economy. If it will prove better ease of use and profitability then diesel then yea. Yet we need to see it on the road.

@@Seventh7Art Nah.

Stavros969 is the matt of the truck world on here

Buses are just trucks for passengers. Same engines

@@CarsandChris Buses only for adults.

@@damarfadlan9251 I'm not sure what you're trying to say

Worse thing about busses...there's 50+ PITAs sitting behind you!

seeing as how there are 4 stages to use I guess that is a "Jake" and "Retarder/Aquatader" combo system

I'd say it's called like that if you are from across the pond. And it's pretty much like that in the rest of the world.

On volvo is it "engine rake"

Actually a Jake brake functions by first shutting off the injectors and then as the pistons come up on the compression stroke the "Jake housings" located on top of the valvetrain open the exhaust valves releasing the compressed air. This slows the truck and engine down by making it work against the compression without injecting any fuel to supply more energy to the engine.

It is called an Exhaust brake or an Engine brake. "Jake Brake" is a brand name. It is a superior product to all others and as such has almost a monopoly in the US market. However, it is still a brand name.

bass!

you should definitely buy it

Go right ahead and buy it

I wanted to write the same comment :) Well done :)

If you do cannel crossing’s go for electric then you can get it done with one charge in the week 😊

The air nozzle in the cab appeared to be quite tight.

@@purwantiallan5089 Imagine it as an “Air Broom”. Not a vacuum cleaner.

@@purwantiallan5089 stupid af

Exactly.. blow jobs

And for cooling your balls down on a hot day 🙈😂😂😂

It is. I'm drivning a FH16 my self.. It's a powerhouse.. and that Anti coalition feature is nice until it kicks in.. On FULL BRAKE

Yea exactly I was really dumbfounded when he said that this is the "most" powerful truck in the world Edit: as you all know carwow likes to fuck around and change titles hence why i'm being corrected

@@kysrussiansandindians0 in the video he says the most powerful volvo

@@radubest1097 I noticed that. What I meant was with the title stating "most powerful truck"

For comfort and gearbox though... Volvo all day long 👌 much better vision in the FH, iShift gearbox is so smooth (alot smoother in the FH5 over the FH4.) The seats are really comfy aswell 👌👌

@@kysrussiansandindians0 title says most powerful volvo

Matt always being epicwow. Hope he also reviewed a Lizard Ignition.

@@purwantiallan5089 🤣🤣

Combined with a better rail infrastructure and you could eliminate the need for longer ranges being required. If they are used in the channel tunnel they could maybe retrofit charging and fast charging of lorries each crossing could work, already 25kv available overhead at that point.

How old were you at uni then ?

The truck is as heavy like Hunter Takedown 4x4.

Same XD

Ditto😂😂

Yup

The weight shifted

well back in my day you had to hand crank them fuckers. you know like a floor jack that you pump with a long pipe? yeah trucks work the same so you just pump and pump and pump untill the cabin falls over on it's own. reall scary first time you are doing it because you think the whole cabin will fall off xD

What about reviewing a Truck from Super Trucks Racing?

@@purwantiallan5089 what about a drag race between all the Volvo trucks? 🤨

Do we🤔

This truck looked so mint.

almost every truck is the same, boringly same engines, same cab size, same accessories ... Only very minor changes you can see, for example bigger lockers, or the shape of dashboard and thats it. Probably american trucks have more variety in cab styles and exterior.

Reckon we could engine swap a Skoda Fabia VRS from the 1.9 TDI to this?

@@rubberduck3788 yep. Wish the truck also got an engine unit from Lizard Ignition.

Imagine this specs on a bugatti

Like you

@@rubberduck3788 u would then have an engine with some car attached to it

Noone tilts the cab to do pre drive checks... In fact its against 99% of company policies to tilt the cab

@@karl8805 We don't see very many cabovers here in the US so popping the hood is pretty much mandatory for the daily checks. Spent 12 years in Army Aviation so we checked the helis before and after flights. Having been a daily rider since 2010 checking the bikes before tearing off is 2nd nature at this point and it spills over to anything mechanical with me.

@@lknanml ahhh ok i understand. Yeah in the uk we all use the on board computer for oil/coolant etc.. And yeah due to health and safety we are not allowed to lift the cab haha... Makes daily checks pretty easy though... Ymif inwas younger amd didnt have a child, id love to nove to the us and drive over there. Was always a dream, just too difficult

@@karl8805 Just plan a work vacation. We are going camping in the US kids. The truck will be our cabin. I want to go to New Zealand and drive. Grass is always greener I guess. LOL

@@lknanml 1st day on the job in NZ,the boss took me round to the yard, first thing it went through my head, was; "F*ck me,Jurassic Park " ...as I was shown to a 1995 Isuzu with a twin splitter gearbox!

With 3 trailers...was fun times,trying to stop :)

Or they can just take an old Volvo from the 1970... same thing.

It can be, but the engine brake shuts off the engine and stops fuel going in therefore is more economical. Also it saves brake wear and tyre ware from harsh braking. Especially in the UK brakes over heating isn't really an issue for the most part and you have to remember going downhill using the engine brake you're only braking 2 wheels of the unit which can cause you to slide more easily and jackknife so it's best to use the engine brake with some brake so the trailer wheels are also slowing

@@AdmiralDantheman Fair enough, thanks for your input!

max legal weight in most EU countries is 56 tons

Any Volvo newer than 2005 with automatics have the Eco/Power button That's because when Volvo made the I-shift gearbox, they wanted it to be suitable for different types of loads and conditions It also has a service mode button on the back of the selector. That's for when your gearbox malfunctions and you need to drive it somewere safe

Drive it in manual mode to get all the power

For me this truck graded S.

550 Cat motors...love them,shame the EPA ended them in the States

I drive a fh540 dual clutch and it does beat our fh750 to the limiter 👍🏼👍🏼

Yes, in milage😅

Nearly 3 points of contact at all times. ha ha

What?

They'll make more money putting on this channel

@@NewHandle_ maybe 2023 i think.

The Scania Truck is as heavy as it actually get.

Yeah I was thinking Scania had a 770 too....

@@RichN22 To be fair, that is quite recent. Give them a bit of time for Scania to produce decent numbers to lend them one.

@@dbclass4075 that's a drag race I'd like to see....

Bout opticruise vs I shift, you are so wrong, it cant get worse

I'm as old as your daughter is, wish lorry driving was as financially rewarding in India as it is in the First World, I'd have become one already 🙏🏼😢. Please let your daughter know I wish her all the very best, and that she's living my dream, and that I wish all the safety and happiness for her, you, her lorry, her cargo, and other road-users 🌸💯💯.

This truck looked quite overpowered.

He was using eco mode 🤣🤣

Need also a review about Age Solo Licorne.

Every f#cking video

You are right 😂😂

Why was your grandmother in a truck?....don't answer plz

Finally I found the right comment, I would've said it myself if I couldn't find it in the comments. Cheers !!

Review also about Gnade Esperanza Carwow.

Agree.

That button is on top of the selector The one behind is the service mode, to drive the truck somewere safe if your gearbox breaks down

They’re is a button behind the gear selector to put it from eco into normal mode then into power mode 👍🏼👍🏼

DAF also have the electric CF range currently on the road which are similar in stats to the volvo here, and like volvo are releasing their big boys next year with the electric XF range on to the road. Lots of european truck manufactuers currently working on getting electric or biofuel trucks out on roads which is amazing. In america Freightliner are working on getting an electric cascadia on the road. Thankfully tesla isn't the only one doing it because they've never exactly been proven to be honest about their numbers and the semi is hideous, I know I wouldn't want to have to stare at that thing while stuck in traffic. Tesla are all about hype though and they've really hit on that marketing a big semi truck to lots of people that haven't driven a HGV in their life, have no plans to, aren't in the trucking industry and because they've only heard about tesla semis they're up on their high horses screeching about how tesla is changing the world. Meanwhile people that know about trucking know what's available, what's coming up and also knows that tesla will certainly sell some but they're not going to be taking over the trucking industry. As you said, electric isn't anywhere near ready to take on the long-haul market but in a lot of europe there's so many companies making round trips that are less than 100 miles and electric does go a long way to fill that role.

It'll be interesting to see how much the range of the electric trucks improve when we start seeing the effects of the overhead charging cables that are being trialed. They have a long way to go before they could ever compete with continental deliveries, but if an electric truck could do a hundred miles in and around the streets of London, not facing any emissions charges, then hop on the motorway and charge while driving until it gets to the next city.. It could be a viable option for logistic companies based in one country.

to be fair, tesla isnt in the truck industry yet since they haven't delivered anything

@@littlehippo5004 they have tho?

@@xectia sorry, they delivered two. That's nothing. Volvo is likely to deliver at the minimum hundreds if not thousands next year. Not to mention mercedes.

Yep. The trailer is as heavy as it gets.

And that’s how you jackknife a trailer and die🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Insane🤔

Well, its not built for the American market. And its specced for the European market. And the range is certified, and it will make that with a 4 tonne load.

@@zaarkeru3391 4 tons? Lmao.

@@americansmark 40* tonnes xD

it's not for longer distances it's for shorter daily drives and city transports. + europ has strickt laws on how long you can drive and when you need to take a brake. you have 4,5hours of drive time before you need to take a 45min brake (or you can split it and take a 15min brake during those 4,5hours and then only need 30min when you hit 4,5h) then you get another 4,5hours. you can get 1hour extra drive time if needed i belive 2x per week or something like that. but then you still need that 45min brake after 4,5h before you can do the last 1hour. like 9/10 times i have seen sleeper cabs they are just sleeper because why not. they rarely actually get used as such unless we talking the bigger FH which is used for longer distance transports. here in sweden it's up to 74tons and 25meters long. we also got trucks with special permits that do 100ton hauls of logs. road train in other words

its supposed to be a short distance delivery vehicle. in europe we daily drive trucks arround 800km a day or 500 miles. and they usually carry bigger fuel tanks. like a weeks worth of fuel. arround 1250liters normaly wich would usually get you over 2000miles or 3200km on a full load

Where are you from?
