Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

How heavy do they run at?

 

They're All rated to 90 Metric Tonne (198,000 Lbs), Straight out of the box.. But all can go to 130 Tonne.....

 

No, Australia still has Euro V, not Euro VI. So they have the old 510 HP version of the MX-13.

 

They have started shipping the latest model off MB Actros to the land down under.
Up to a few months ago is was the previous model because off Euro 5.
@98989 can you now get the latest Actros with Euro 5?

 

I've heard that newest supply of green stuff just arrived to Eindhoven, and first test E6 truck for Australian market is ready. First pictures leaked already.
Rumor has it, that truck was ready years ago, engineers focus now on making cupholders work upside down.

 

There are euro3,4,5,6 engines available, eev is no longer possible.

As much i can see MB sells only E6 of new range in australia.

At this moment they have more orders than they can make 16L engines below E6 available, so they have closed orders.
I need some in euro3 norm.
13l is possible to get in e3

 

A very interesting document on the Australian trucking industry.

 

being yesteday with guy who runs HH company. he says MB use 10% less fuel than man on 120t
they make 1200-2500 km in one direction and mostly go empty back around 40t
MB is 4.333 ratio, bit faster than i would recc. but he says it works perfect.
all other are 4.571 or 4.833

 

Same hp/torque,transmission and tires....?

 

not exactly same.
mb is 16gears double clutch hub reduction, man 12speed single clutch hypoid axles.

@Cat sdp EDIT: man is single overdrive MB double overdrive
