Trucking in North America vs around the world

Hello, how is everyone doing?

 

Seen my first ever Scania today. Don't see what makes them better than what we run here.

 

Hello Nevesu. How have you been?

 

No pics.

 

Really bad year in transport, so trying to forget about this crap honestly.

 

Volvo FH.
Maybe you have seen this one around in Canada?

Did some updates on it in April 2023, Vancouver BC.
It runs on hydrogen, but for lack of filling stations it does not go on the roads too often.
When it does it is in the Vancouver area (or on a low-loader).

Since a few months there is also a new Volvo FM in Vancouver, on LNG.

At their home page you also can see DAF and Scania.

 

No it was an older Scania. I'd say a mid-2000's R Series. A guy around here apparently has a couple of them. It was a nice looking rig, just don't see what makes them better/worse. It did sound pretty good, had a real mean lope at idle, kinda like a muscle car with a lumpy cam in it.
