Scania v8 730hp

We do beat that, everyday. Volvo brought their pile of junk here, D16, and it's a joke of an engine. Bet that scania would fall apart after 500k miles running the speed limits and distances we cover daily here in the great continent that is North America!

 

only ####erpillar just keeps on rolling!

 

that's why i have never seen one here in south europe
if i am not wrong up there you are allowed a 60 t weight limit right?

 

C-18 Caterrorpillars at 630hp lasts about 80tkm-300tkm with our weights in our climate. Scanias and Volvos do easily 1.5Mkm.

 

Same engines are used in Australia with much heavier weights and almost as high speeds and longer distances than you do in your joke of a country.

 

They are not making on the road trucks anymore because they lost they reputation and clients because of those crappy Cats. Even Fuller gearboxes are not good anymore, they break behind those lazy Cats.

C-18 was good compared to C-15 Acert dpf..

 

Don't have to go to australia. Sicilian O/O that bring fresh fruits from sicily to the big supermarkets chain in the north of the country.They run at night illegally because if they are not there in the early morning the supermarkets won't accept the goods.
So they do 1400 km overnight at over 120 kmh and over loaded as well, theu use stright trucks plus aframe trailer loaded as much as they can(easily more than 60000kg)and do 3 trip every week. well they all have scanias with more than 600hp and keep them for almost two hundred thousand kilometers.....(if they don't crash before)

 

And what do they run In Autralia? American engines, because your joke of a continent can't build an engine.
