  1. yep, ww2 level technology and design, people just got tired of it. Modern Euro cabovers is something else
    4
  2. Scania can just avoid the OTR market and focus at vocational trucks, inter-city trucks. Many truckers operating in that segment would welcome a modern cabover with great drivers comfort easier getting around in the cities and residental areas
    4
  3. Some good ideas. I agree Scania cabovers would be great as vocational trucks, inter city trucks. It's sometimes 'comical' to watch some of the US concrete mixer trucks trying to move around in narrow streets, with a total lenght like 35% more than a euro truck with the same size mixer) Scania has a XXL sleeper cab in the making for the new series, about 70 inch sleeper compartment, which is about similar as lots of the US sleepers. They mght do something with Navistar regarding traditional OTR trucks, if they decide to move into that, rather than developing a hooded truck from scratch. I guess Scania Trucks has quite a relaxed attitude regarding the North American market, they follow the situation, but have more than enough sales around the world. They do not need the North American market, but naturally if they see a ertain interest in their trucks thye might want to offer
    3
  4. Demo truck owned by the manufacturer, excempt from the rule
    3
  5. Manual with an automated shift is the standard in euro trucks. the truck can pick the gears, or one can flip the gear lever up and down in manual mode. It's a 6x4, no tag. Rear driven axle can be lifted for saving fuel and tires when not loaded, will disconnet the drive when lifted
    3
  6. The roof spoiler, will be moved to it's top position as needed
    3
  7. He will transport it on a low loader trailer, now and then. Total height issues.

  8.  @robmcintosh8396  In Scandinavia 90%+ of 3 axle highway trucks got a lazy axle as the 3'rd axle, they are allowed the same load as a driven axle, lower fuel usage, less dead weight, more 'pay load'. Dump trucks, timber trucks and others now and then being on less good roads usually got a tandem 6x4. Volvo in 2015 launched their solution with liftable rear driven axle which drive gets disconnected, Scania later on got the same setup, like Bruce's truck got. I guess in the US it is demanded to have a tandem drive 6x4 in order to be allowed the max load, while the possible issue of getting stuck on the flat praire highways is less of an issue
    2
  9.  @ontheroadagain4773  I think Scania will let Navistar take care of hooded trucks for those wanting the traditional look. Scania is past that, belongs to the old days, they are more looking into the future. For their cabover might focus at electric, diesel hydrogen inter city trucks, vocational trucks, and offer a cabover longline for those wanting more space. All in all I think they focus at technology, lowering energy usage, drivers comfort.
    2
  10. This truck will be Scania's demo truck in the US, they own it and serve it. Bruce takes care of it in the Us, with the help of Scania
    2
  11. No one. Scania is not sold in the US. If sold in the US in the future, probably will be Scania dealers within the Navistar/International network of dealers/shops
    2
  12. It's Scania's truck, and it's about marketing, both in the US and other place around the world where viewers of the channel are. If Scania goes for the US market in the future, they will have a plant there like most other veichle manufacturer does, to avoid the import issues
    2
  13. There are a few different tire options popular in the US, and one very common is the same as on this Scania. Yes.
    2
  14. 300-400 a day, all factories combined.
    2
  15. Exellent vocational truck, inter-city trucks
    2
  16. The letter infront of the number is the traditional Scania system. Only with the S cab they put the letter in the end. Merceds Benz took Scania to court over naming trucks 'S560', S770 and so on, as it looked to much the same as their S-class car names
    2
  17. thanks for pointing out
    2
  18. One of the safest truck cabs manufactured
    2
  19. Yes, the handle is just for emergeny, fifth wheel is remote controlled
    2
  20. Scania will be the owner of the truck, Bruce will drive it. Only way to get it road legal in the US, a demo truck owned by the manufacturer
    2
  21. He likely will come back to those details once the truck arrives the US in a few months
    2
  22. Guess they are looking at it, but nothing decided. Navistar in Canada is offereing some Scania XT series trucks for mining purposes. Maybe your nearest Navistar dealership got some info regarding when/if new Scania trucks will be aviable in Canada
    2
  23. Not easy, naturally, but not impossible) Only way to do s Scania as a manufacturer having it as a demo truck in the Us, for marketing purposes only. Allowed 1 year at the time. Lot's of paperwork and lawyers involved
    2
  24. It is not ticked off. Euro 3/4 would been ticket off if going to certain markets in Africa and Asia. This one for the US will be the top norm, Euro 6
    2
  25. Beats US trucks when it comes to power and effiency
    2
  26. A big part of US truckers will never part with their Kens and Petes no matter what, but there is also a large part of the market open to new stuff
    2
  27. you said the key word: 'local routes' That probably will be a main first focus of Scania, if they ever want to go for the US market. Low or tall cabin, it does not matter much, these cabs are too small anyway for US truckers going long distance. A new Longline cab will be interesting for long distance.
    2
  28. He will come back to all details. They will do much of these 'US adjustments' in Sweden before being shipped. Guess he will receive it upon end of the year, if all paperwork gets sorted out in time
    2
  29. The have a new Longline on the go, maybe launched at the end of the year. If going into the US market, they might avoid spending time and effort building a typicla US desing hooded truck with a big sleeper, but offer the cabover Longline for those interested, and focus more at vocational trucks, inter-city trucks with an standard sleeper/daycab
    2
  30. Perfect as a vocational truck, inter-city
    2
  31. Demo truck for marketing purposes, owned by the manufacturer
    2
  32. Not impossible when it is a truck for marketing, owned by the manufacturer, as this one is. Allowed 1 year at the time on US roads. Might be some limitations regarding how long distance allowed to drive each year, and can maybe not drive absolutely everywhere on it's own. Bruce will haul it on a trailer when going far away to shows, so could not have the S cab as it would be too high for the bridges
    2
  33. Do tests, take it to shows. Scania will own it. Will be in the US for marketing purposes
    2
  34. Maybe contact nearest Scania dealership, or Scania Industrial Engine North America if in the USA, Canada
    2
  35. both rear axles are driven
    2
  36. Those are not allowed to be imported to the USA. To get a new Scania road legal in the US, it had to be a project in close coperation with Scania head office. Only chance is Scania as the manufacturer owning a demo truck in the US.
    2
  37. Total length restrictions truck+trailer. A new rule in europe now allows for a longer cab, without having a shorter trailer, when the added cab lenght helps the aero dynamics and saves fuel. Scania got quite longer cab/sleeper in the making, XXL
    2
  38. It's a great length/wheel space. More stretched than a tractor trailer normally will be in europe, that is looking cool
    2
  39. it will be a fast going highway truck, 70 mph. No planetary axles usable for his purpose
    2
  40. Will be taken to shows, doing test videos at the channel. It's a marketing truck, owned by the manufacturer
    2
  41. It's a demo truck only, owned by Scania. who knows what the future holds, they may one day start sales.Much depends on the interest and number of potential US customers
    2
  42. Think they have several lines in parallell. I do not know the the details with what is normal or not regarding to what we see in the video, but in general I would think the factories/brands are not much different regarding efficiency. There is a strong competition
    2
  43. It's a demo truck owned by the manufacturer, can be made street legal 1 year at the time. Excemption to the rule. Lot's of paperwork involved
    2
  44. The truck will be owned by Scania as a demo truck, only way to get it road legal in the US. It would be at about 225k usd in Europe
    2
  45. They will ad some stuff to it, mostly once in the US, among else brake buttons
    2
  46. explained at the end of video 2
    2
  47. Only allowed on US roads as a demo truck owned by Scania, limited to 1 year at the time. He will do tests, take it to shows. Not allowed doing commercial hauling.
    2
  48. He try to set it up equal to a US highway truck. Wide front tires are not the standard there, more cost, more fuel, they use same dimesion tyres all over. For dump trucks, timber, heavy haul and such, wide front tires is normal in the US to
    2
  49. automated manaul. flip a lever up and down, or let the truck pick gears
    2
  50. They could, but in my opinion they are past the conventional cab area and would not bother design a new hooded model for the North American market. I think they more focus at technology and further developing their cabovers, not creating a hooded truck that will be more or less just about pleasing someone enjoying that look. Guess they will let Navistar take care of hooded cabs. It's such a strong competiton regarding the US OTR truck market, they might better focus more at segments of the market with their existing cabovers that they have spend billions to develop and years to finetune, vocational trucks, inter-city trucks. They got a cabover with 70-75 inch sleeperin the maiking, XXL/Longline, that possible could please quite a few OTR truckers.
    2
  51. If they go for the Us, they will come up with a solution for a bigger sleeper, for those wishing that. But guess they will have a larger focus at local transport, vocational trucks like dump trucks and so on at first
    1
  52. 500hp something is the ideal for USA. Keep in mind they are mostly just operating with 36 ton total weight. But 770 would sure be interesting to heavy haulers and so on
    1
  53. There will be a cab with an integrated 70-80 inch sleeper, look up 'scania CS31' and 'scania longline'
    1
  54. It's a 6x4, tandem drive
    1
  55. Hard work and talent.
    1
  56. show +registered
    1
  57.  @mrtee3477  road legal show truck owned by the manufacturer, for marketing purposes ONLY. 1 year permission at the time. No commercial hauling allowed.
    1
  58. Ok
    1
  59. It is a 6x4. Rear axle can be lifted for saving fuel, wear and tear, when not heavy loaded. The drive will disconnect as it is lifted
    1
  60.  @williamgoward8850  It'sa quite new solution. Volvo Europe made their first 6x4 with liftable driven axle in 2015. 'Volvo tandem lift' Since have Scania developed the same. There is a clutch system. Said to save 3-4% fuel while driving without load, and also give better drivers comfort.
    1
  61. S too tall for transport on a trailer, that Bruce will use now and then hauling it to shows
    1
  62. ​ @robelsjan7709  A Scania with a S-cab will crash into the bridge, when transported on the back of a trailer. It is illegal to crash into bridges in the US.
    1
  63. Guess he just need a 24 to 12v converter for lines going to a US trailer
    1
  64. There will be certain restrictions as I understand. Road legal, but can't drive where ever you want, and/or might be a limit number of miles a year. Sure he will come back to all those details
    1
  65.  @user-ym5mc  Correct, it's a demo truck only, can't be used commercially.
    1
  66. These fenders are a factory standard used on all models, no big expence in the big picture of the operation of such a truck. They are the most common used in Europe where it's pretty rare with tire exploding and ruin the fenders. In other markets like Austrailia, South America, it's common to use local custom fenders of metal due to operating on rougher roads
    1
  67. Can only be road legal if it's a demo truck owned by the manufacturer, for marketing.
    1
  68. A real Us truck looks cool, and got a big sleeper for sure. But overall qulity, and fuel consumption, not at the level of Scania
    1
  69. So many comments on here about the 'Thomas' name thing) He never said Thomas was an exclusive Amerian name, or 'invented' in America. All he stated was that 'Thomas' was also used in the USA.
    1
  70. Scania part will only be from a few special shops, not any normal parts stores
    1
  71.  @kxrider1065  Scania Engine division got nearly 400 dealers in North America, and stock 96% of all engine parts at their main US warehouse. If Scania Truks go for the US market in the future, of course all sort of parts will be aviable from their dealerships, service at the Navistar locations
    1
  72. There is a clutch system relasing the drive when lifting the rear axle
    1
  73. They got a bigger sleeper cab in the making, look up 'scania CS31'. About 70-75 inch sleeper. The cab in the video is fine for vocational trucks, inter-city
    1
  74. They got this cab witha 70-75 inch sleeper as a prototype as of 2024, possible on the market next year.
    1
  75. Will be stationed in Jamestown, Tennessee, at Bruce's headquaters. One can possible visit his place for a closer look, and maybe a test ride in the future. The truck is planned to arrive the US around New Year, taken do different shows mainly Mid-west to the East coast during 2025. Further details at his social media in the future, I'm sure
    1
  76.  @djs4605  To tell it simple I guess the USA is very hooked on hooded trucks, and the big local brands like Freightliner and others got a strong positon, it's difficult and expencive to enter the US market for a foregin brand these days, set up sales and servvice network. Scania has not found it worht the effort to enter the US market again, since they where there a few years end of 1980's. Now Navistar/International is a sister company of Scania, and they got shop all over the US, which possible can make it easier for Scania if they want to eneter their trucks into the market. There can be a market for their cabover for voational trucks, like dump trucks and more
    1
  77. ​ @williamcawley1113 Understand. Guess it was at the end of the previous video he explained
    1
  78. Demo truck owned by the manufacturer, for marketing purposes only, can be made road legal in the US, 1 year permit at the time. Lot's of paperwork and lawyers involved, but looks like it's going to happen
    1
  79. Actually you don't) What you do is ask Scania if it wouldn't be cool to have a demo truck in the US, and you to take it around)
    1
  80. It's a tandem drive, 6x4, with a liftable axle that automatically disconnects the drive. Volvo and Scania have had this as an option from 2015-2020. Saves fule and tires lifting the axle when not heavy loaded. In Scandinavia 90%+ of highway trucks got a tax axle, more payload, less costs, while timber trucks, dump trucks and such usually got the tandem drive
    1
  81. You should contact Scania about this matter. They have manufactured trucks and other vehicles for 130 years and nobody has told them diesel fuel can be dangerous.
    1
  82. 2 drive axles is the tradition in the US
    1
  83.  @charlo90952  With 2 rear axles one are allowed more load than 1. that's basically it. Different rules regarding weights, loads in different countries
    1
  84.  @charlo90952  According to the US regulations tractor trailers MUST have 2 rear axles in order to carry the 80.000 lbs. THAT is WHY this truck for the US market got 2 rears. If 1 rear axle it can take much less load. It does not matter at all to US trucks If some single axle truck elsewhere in the world should take 300.000 lbs for that matter!! Its is mainly bridges that is the limitation and what the weakest of them can handle
    1
  85. Stick to water
    1
  86. This is a show truck owned by the manufacturer, allowed 1 year in the US at the time,for marketing purposes only. Scania got trucks all over the world, they got a bunch of layers and so on that know the rules. Scania got a few new trucks in the US already for a a couple of years, at Navistar test tracks. Getting a truck allowed for public highway is different, but I do not doubt they will do it. A lot of paperwork is already done at the creation of this video, but to get the final approvals they have to first manufactured the truck, and do some modifications and send documentation on this specific truck to the US officials
    1
  87. They got a cab with 70-75 inch sleeper in the making for this newest truck series.
    1
  88.  @domfillas  But I told you how it works. Read again and google picture of different Scania models.
    1
  89. Limited to 56mph in Europe, which is max normal speed for these trucks. They got higher speed axles for other markets. guess the gearbox is the same
    1
  90. Much of this would arrived sooner or later without unions too, but unions sure have made it happen sooner
    1
  91. This will be a show truck owned by the manufaturer, used for marketing purposes only, allowed 1 year at the time on US roads. No 25 year rule.
    1
  92. The marked for it is so small they have not bothered to make a version legal for the US. 90% + of the Volvo trucks in the US is like max 35-40T total weight. 500 hp +/- is ore than enough for most use, and the better economy
    1
  93. Too tall with the S cab or higher roof, need to transport it on a trailer now and then. It's Scania's demo truck, and they got no T-cab
    1
  94. S cab make no sense as dump truck, local transport and such, that likely will be a main focus for Scania at the US market if they go for it. S cab is still way too small for long distance transport in the US. R770 is not a cheap truck.
    1
  95. Many US truckers will be so angry) While many will welcome a modern cabover.
    1
  96. All is good as long all things works. Lot's of electronics and equipment means more potential for something going wrong. Many companies buys the trucks new and replace them after 4-5 years, before any big problems. It will be the next owners that get the bigger issues-) What I want to say is, all vehicles and machines will break sooner or later, and then it's important to easily get service and parts, it be in Europe, USA or anywhere in the world
    1
  97. Possible around 20K total from this plant. 90K total worldwide
    1
  98. The S cab is too tall for the bridge when transported at a trailer, as Bruce will do now and then.
    1
  99. Demo truck owned by a manufacturer. Other rules.
    1
  100. Exemption for a manufacturer owning a demo truck. Allowed road legal in the US for 1 year at the time for marketing purposes . A lot of paperworks and lawyers involved.
    1
  101. This one are about 230K usd in Europe. Hard to say what it possible would be in the US. Not cheaper I guess
    1
  102. It's an option anyone are free to pick
    1
  103. A 770 6x4 like this truck is at about 225K usd in Europe, with an 'typical' spec. The truck in the video got matching painted fuel tanks and other details and such that brings the price up some. In the US, no idea, hard to say) But recon it might will be a truck in the higher price bracket, like Peterbilt
    1
  104. The handle is just for 'emergency'. The fifth wheel is remote controlled
    1
  105. sure, big chance some staff do
    1
  106. 200-250K
    1
  107. They use manual trans where one can choose automatic or manual gear change mode. A gear lever that can be flipped up and down, not many bother using the manaul mode. classic style gear stick has been gone 20 years ago or so in Europe for these heavy trucks.
    1
  108. It's not that simple to just have a good fuel eonomy and comfort. The purchase price, and access to parts/service is important. and many US trucking companies are not so interested in paying extra for more comfort for the drivers. It's a very tough competiton on the US truck market, and very hard for new brands to enter and do it profitable. Scania might find a niche they can focus at, like dump trucks and such
    1
  109. Scania does not have a T-cab. The T-cab is a custom product from a 3'rd party, making the trucks 40% + more expencive. Just made for someone specially interested, who do not care about the economy of it.
    1
  110.  @Deritsuku2010  Yes, they had T-cab all the way until 2005. the demand for it just went too low. There is a couple of small companies in Holland that transform the standard Scania's into a T-cab, for those specially interested, will ad 30-40%+/- to the initial truck cost, very expencive
    1
  111. There are no modern US made cabovers.
    1
  112. S series to high when transporting it on a trailer, as he plans to do now and then
    1
  113. Scania ended production of the hooded cabs in 2005 due to lack of sales. For the last 15-20 years of production it was mainly dump trucks and other vocational trucks that used the option of hooded cab while the over the road trucks had gone for mainly cabovers sine the 70's. There are a couple of small compaines in Holland that modifies cabovers to hooded cab trucks, at a price of about 30-40% added to the cost of a new cabover. This is just for the special interested who wants their truck to look different and cooler, and do transports where total lenght is not as strict as with the standard over the road transports
    1
  114. explained in the end of the previous video
    1
  115. The driveline in these trucks are beyond and above18 speed and cummins, years ago. It does the job the best way possible, don't worry about it, proven for years all over the world where the brand is represented. The market for cabovers are small in North America. This cab is fine for local transport or a few nights away from home.
    1
  116. they got a Longline cab for this new generation truck as a prototype now in 2024. But too early for Bruce's truck
    1
  117.  @mr4lergia  Yes, CS31. Not decided if they will offer it as an offical scania option. But guess it might happen
    1
  118. explained in the end of the previous video
    1
  119. The vast majority of Volvo vehicles are assembled in Sweden. The ones for the Asian market are made in the China factory.
    1
  120.  @Notfiveo0  It's chinese owners, but they are quite keen on keeping the volvo tradition, desgin and so on. Headquater and RD aslo still at the same place in Sweden
    1
  121. Says your uncle that visited the US in 1982, and got a ride in a truck..? Okay.
    1
  122. The more people showing their interest when Bruce tours with this show truck around the US next year, the higher is the chance of Scania giving it a go
    1
  123. This 770 hp 6x4 is about 230K usd in Europe. a 500 hp verison maybe 200-210K. Scania is the most expencive Euro brand. Hard to say what prices in the US would be
    1
  124. He got some total hight issues to think about when transporting it on a low loader, as seems to be part of the plan. Not allowed to drive everywhere
    1
  125. The name is used in the USA, among thousands of other names. Nobody cares or knows where the name was invented, 6000 years ago in Babylon or whatever, it does not matter
    1
  126. At this point there are the Scania XG series, dump trucks, offered via Navistar in Canada, but not allowed for public highway from what I've heard
    1
  127. He will come back to that in seperate videos
    1
  128. Too high. Needs to be transported around on a low loader now and then
    1
  129. It's a highly efficent and powerful work truck, with great drivers comfort. Not supposed to be a beauty queen, but some people do customize them quite much,all according to the thickness of their wallets) Sure, not much can beat a convential Peterbuilt 389 or such when it comes to show trucks
    1
  130. Scania for making a living, Pete and Ken for the weekend shows
    1
  131. Not as of today in general. This is a 1 off demo truck that will be road legal, allowed into the US under the ownership of the manufacturer only, for marketing purposes, permit for 1 year at the time
    1
  132. There are mixed opinions regarding super singles at the rear. Most find they got more cons than pros, and stick to the traditional twin tires for different reasons
    1
  133. Customer price for such a truck would be somewhere around 225K +/- in Sweden. This truck will be owned by Scania, and Bruce will be in charge of it. Would not been possible to get road leagl in the US if anyone else than the manufacturer owned it
    1
  134. It's a manual with automated gear change. One can select auto mode or flip the gear lever up and down manually. The traditional gear stick is gone a few years ago, Euro truckers do not want it anymore
    1
  135. Scania got a 70-75'' sleeper cab in the making for this new generation of trucks, similar as they offered for a older series 15 years ago. Look up 'Scania Longline' and 'Scania CS31' (cab type code)
    1
  136. They got a couple of prototypes running, new generation Longline. Look up 'Scania CS31' Might be released comng winter
    1
  137. Many drivers in the USA would prefer cabovers, short truck, when drving in the city, for local transport.
    1
  138. 225K in Europe. Potential price unknown in the US. Scania will own it, Bruce be the test driver in the US
    1
  139. demo truck owned by manufacturer, can be road legal in the US for marketing purposes, 1 year permit at the time
    1
  140. explained at the end of previous video
    1
  141. The S-cab would not made and big difference to the US audience. The sleeper is just to small for long transport in the US, does not matter S or R cab. When they come up with a S Longline, it helps
    1
  142. Yes, these modern Euro trucks sure are 40 years ahead of a 80's US truck, there is little doubt about that
    1
  143. Scania gearbox, automated manual
    1
  144. Better to whom
    1
  145. About 220K usd in Europe. Hard to say what future price would be in the US, but likely not cheaper. Scania is in the higher prie bracket compared to other Euro brands
    1
  146. Demo truck for marketing, owned by the manufacturer.
    1
  147. US highway truck usually do not use super singles in the front. More cost and more fuel. Except dump trucks, timber trucks, heavy haulers and so on

  148. The truck is located in Sweden as of now. It will be legal in on US roads because it will be a show truck only, owned by Scania, allowed to stay in the country 1 year at the time. US truck s have no problem hauling goods from point A to point B, as any truck in Europe.European concumers can feel free to pay extra having 'over superior trucks' haul their bread and milk. US consumers aren't that picky, they do not care how the goods get to the shop.

  150. Its quite new. Volvo was first 5-6 years ago, tandem with a lift, clutch system disconnecting the drive as it lifts

  151. If Scania would go for the US market in the future, possible will have common dealerships with International, Navistar, their sister company, and tehnicians trained and so on. This one show truck Bruce will hve is owned by Scania. No big issue with parts and serice, they will fly in mechanics, parts. SCania has been present with the Industrial Engine division in North America for many years and got many dealers and large stock of engine parts in the US

  153. The release is remote controlled. The handle just for emergency

  154. Not interesting enough economially to Scania, so far. They would need some big investements, assembly plant, sales and service network. Need to see a certain interest for their kind of trucks, cab overs, to possible go for it. Maybe in the future

  161. Will be at the cost level of a Peterbilt. Among the euro brands, Scania is in the higher price bracket. I'm he will get into all that later on

  162. Demo truck owned by Scania, to be made road legal for marketing in the US. Bruce will be the driver, doing tests, take it to shows

  165. When coolness is # 1 and economy and drivers comfort #2 & 3, KW and Pete will still be the way to go.

  166. Scania got in the making a cab with a sleeper of about 70-80 inch. Google 'Scania CS31'. Might to be launched at the end of this year. If Scania will go for the US market they likely will start production/assebmly there, own factory or coperation with Navistar. Service and sales maybe via the Navistar departments. they might look at the vocational truck segment first of all, inter-city, which would suit cab overs fine. If heading into the OTR segment, they might look at a T-cab and bigger sleeper.

  172. Vries with what tansmission and rears selected, but in europe a 770 hp Scania like this would typically put in use for total weights of 110.000 to 170.000 lbs.
