Trucking in North America vs around the world

my guess would be linear……. But 70-75mph with a good driver not a Koleka doesn’t hurt a truck one bit. That’s in my personal experience …..

last truck went 800k miles with no drivetrain or major engine work…..

this truck the engine was a mess from manufacturing but drivetrain has 630k with no issues……hauling 100K every load at 65-70 mph. Tire wear is probably a little more with increased speed……

 

That unimog and its brother holds world record for highest elevation by wheeled vehicle 21962 ft.

At this moment both of them are in unimog museum, saw them recently

 

My guess would be Freightliner or paccar North America would be the only ones with those kinda hard figures….

 

It is 449hp constant and max 544hp

 

Tire wear must be higher as you see much more exploded tires in NA than in Europe.
My friend that has had his trucking company for over 30 years, says that going from 50mph to 56mph increase the tire wear by 10%. He is obviously using softer tires than most NA trucks as he has winter tires when required.

 

Prime mover……..I think not.
