Trucking in North America vs around the world

An American made truck brand new in Sweden in 1937. Loaded with pit props, probably for export to UK. But who was the maker of the truck?

 

as i said earlier, terrible work....

 

it is only for power generation, not other version of industrial available yet.
they are also only in tier2/eu stage 2.
in my opinion that is long way to being used into truck.

scania had 770hp engine at least 5years before as industrial than in truck.
iam very sure volvo would try to cut this time as much as they can.

 

I’ve had 750ish hp for almost 15 years…..

 

I never seen a bus with such a nice interior.

 

seems you don’t get up north to many

 

For a 8x4. Lift the axle to the right and close the air for the air springs to the left axle. The studed chains on the midle axle will do the rest.

 

I've probably posted this at some point prior. Was on a job years ago, line locating on frozen muskeg for a highway expansion project. Had a 4x4 Unimog with big off road balloon tires and a tridrive water truck on the job. That Unimog would sink down to its axles in the matter of an hour or so. The tridrive just sat on top. Moving around the Unimog would rut up the ground, but you could hardly tell where the tridrive had driven.

Needless to say I'm not a big believer that a single drive axle (or tandem with the weight on only one axle) is better in every situation.

 

That's not a tridrive. It's a steerable tag axle with twin tires, usually a 13 ton axle.
