Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

If its faster then how'd they finish at the same time?

 

yes additional air tanks are necessary, you need big air compressor too for such weights. for super serious trucks even 4 cylinder. there is no hydraulics here and since there is no WSK no oil cooler either except standard gearbox cooler.

single reduction hypoid axles are good for ca 80t grossweight. over that you need hub reduction.
Scania offers 78t, MB 80t, Volvo 70t on hypoid axles
I am not sure if Daf would offer that (text says 120t brakes).

As far i know only MAN gives 120t on that axles (their real design is 70t).
going to pull that much with hypoid axles is stupid, you are going very deep in safety construction reserves at same time stronger axles are available which will increase lifetime at least 2 times.
When you pull very heavy, clearance between gears is not ideal and thereby hypoid axle can even increase fuel consumption comparing to hub reduction.

i have seen that text says parking AC too, I dont see it on roofcab, does it mean Daf now offers factory solution like MB/MAN/Scania/Volvo?

 

I spotted Lamborghini on the way from truck dealer today.

I made it inside borrowed Hyundai, I guess I still need to learn a lot about transport and making money.

autoshift made 7 gearchanges on empty truck....

 

Is rooftop ac.
Angle off picture is the reason you cannot see it.
There are other pictures off that truck on the web which show it.

Ps that was #1 off a order for 3 such trucks.

 

Which One.........

 

Truck, licence plate says nowy actros

 

Look very carefully at both speedometers. You will see the automated truck pulling ahead, then it has to shift and the manual truck catches up during the shifting, and then the automated truck pulls ahead again.
At 65 mph the automated truck has just shifted, and the manual has just caught up. The picture I showed was when the automated truck got to the point where it had to shift at 64 mph. At no point in the video do you see the manual pulling ahead.
