@TestECull "Those things do not make peak torque irrelevant. If they did you'd see 200-400FT LB engines getting 20MPG or so."
The torque is a byproduct of horsepower. The only reason we see torque figures as high as they are is that is the most convenient way of achieving the desired horsepower figures.
.
Even if your truck had only 1 ft lb of torque, if it also had 700 horsepower, the low torque wouldn't make a difference since any amount of torque can be converted from speed by a transmission.
@hitssquad You have no idea how these figures work.
Engine stats 101:
Torque: This is the engine doing work. The force it puts out, and it can be directly measured. The more torque the more force an engine can apply.
Horsepower: A calculated figure used to compare steam engines to horses. It is likened to how much work the engine can sustain as equated to work horses.
Torque is what gets you moving. Horsepower merely keeps it moving. If you have no torque you CAN NOT pull or haul.
@TestECull "Torque: This is the engine doing work."
Nope. That would be power.
.
"The more torque the more force an engine can apply."
Torque *is* force. As you just noted -- in contradiction to your previous claim -- torque is not "the engine doing work". Transmissions, and other reduction drives, multiply force, at the expense of speed. Therefore, it doesn't matter how little force an engine produces, as long as it isn't zero.
No. Torque without speed is what we call a "brake". Brakes produce torque, but they don't get you moving.
.
"Horsepower merely keeps it moving. If you have no torque you CAN NOT pull or haul."
Any engine that can produce any amount of horsepower can also produce indefinitely large amounts of torque via any suitable transmission or other reduction drive -- at the expense of speed. See: en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Crawler-transporter
@hitssquad I'm not going to argue with something this stupid. You're wrong, but since you refuse to open your damn mind, I'm just going to let you continue being wrong. Have fun living in a world of ignorance!
@rdlx3m Living in the northeast corner of the USA I can tell you that our major highways have limits of 40 ton, running 80 ton up and down dirt roads is not uncommon here with log trucks either, Bitch Please??? look it up, interstate weight limits in the united states reasearch your opinion so you dont make yourself look stupid
Umm I think GM's Tierex Titan is The Most powerful and Largest. North America still rules.. Yeah and in response to Scandanavian shirkers during 2 World wars so what you got little roads in a little country. When Gazprom shuts off Europe's gas and the effin chinese have nuked Amerika cause of Obama you will wish America still existed
ha ha ha i found out how to open locks and doors faster and easier than picking by using superbumpkeys, i got some online a couple of days ago and these things kick ass. they were just 2 bucks each.

@MrRevolution53 Well being that you don't live in America maybe you all aren't as in debt to banks through house and auto loans, but maybe you are. Heck with my student loans alone. My worth of possessions is less than what I owe the loan companies.
How can you stop them? I don't know. Money makes our world go round, it is power, it is fame, it puts you in control. They have the influence to write the laws and control how the world economic system works.
@MrRevolution53 Around 1903 Henry Ford was on a boat on his way to Europe, I believe. Where he had a chat with a wealthy Jewish Banker. After discussing how Americas Financial system worked at the time Henry was astonished. He said "If the American people knew how our financial system worked, there would be a revolution overnight." After this Mr. Ford started the Dearborn post where he started to bring to light problems of the economic system.
look at the design, on the front of engine its so hard to replace the V belts,pls show it to the video the special tools needed in changing those belts,without removing the fan

omfg. i cant stop laughing here..! what the fuck is wrong with you people from US and Australia? You think just cuz your trucks weight 150tonn, that it makes your driver so good? Bitch PLEASE! have you seen your roads? all you need to do is apply the cruisecontroll and lean back! Try driving 60tonns of logs with 22m+ on narrow scandinavian winther roads just few CM wider than the truck!
@rdlx3m yeah loggers drive pig trails in US,Canada and im sure Australia. with less horspower we got mountains thats so steep ur cabover trucks would pop wheelies
@rdlx3m and you'd call road train easy? well, just cause fucking scandinavia cant have any 10-trailer long trucks... dont go thinking your truckers are so good...
@rdlx3m umm.. we pay taxes so that our roads are nice.... Soooo.... just because we have nice rodes that we can enjoy driving on and not go off the side of the cliff, doesn't mean we're bad drivers.. Sooo i'm not impressed.. sorry.
Your not the brightest headlight on the road. Where do you get this idea that U.S. roads are so good? U.S. and Canadian log-haulers have it just as tough as anywhere else in the winter. Your really as dumb as the logs that you haul.
bla bla I would like you bigheads to come out here to northern Scandinavia and drive on our narrow winter roads for a day with 50 or 60 tons maybe after that we can talk ;)
I would like yall bigheads in here to come to the northern Scandinavia and drive on our narrow winter roads for a day with a 50 or 60 ton truck maybe after that we can talk ;)
@rollingparkinglot the man transports up to 50 tons for his job, didn't say that's all the truck could handle thou. With 0ver 700 HP im sure it would handle 2000+ tons no sweat
Here in Europe we're not allowed to drive the size and weight f trucks you drive in Australia, our laws here in Europe are more strict than the relaxed cowboy laws you have in oz and as someone else as also mention here we dont have the mile after mile of staight roads that you have.
I like this truck, very nice, what am i saying, i love this truck, i would like to see the British Fire Brigade own a Volvo FH16 700, i dunno what it would do but it does look good, looks really nice,
The SWIFT comment is funny they are one of the slowest fleets here in the states. And also the laughing stock of the US trucking industry. Just like schneider and jb hunt.
Get a Cummins KTA and a Pittsburgh Power box and you got 800 HP right there.... I liek Volvo's and have nothing bad to say about them but screw the 700 HP Volvo, Im goin to get myself a Cummins!!!
Giant marine engines have even more Nm per bhp because they dont make more than 250 rpm.. You'll have to see hp, torque AND rpm in the right perspective.
So many stupid comments ... its 700 brake hourse power but you can pick out the double if you want. but you dont need to do that ... . i shift do the job and peterbilt is 20 yers after swedish trucks like scania and volvo ... ....... :) :)
Oh please, i know a log hauler in Maine that has a four axle Custom Peterbilt 379 with easily twice the power of this cramped flat nose. It can haul 2 fully loaded trailers of logs up and down muddy trails with plenty of power to spare. He said he could load three trailers on there easily (but the logging companies cut the corners too short and he would be able to make it around them).
900 hp ????? not having a go but please tell me,where?...As a road train driver i need to know where as I have come across volvo,cummins,& CAT all 660's headin' to & fro' the mines.
Yes volvo has sort of accomplished for power & torque for now ,driver comfort Still at number one...Volvo cab rock & rolling,not funny esp, if doing long hauls ...bunks and cab still abit cramped and no emergency door from bunk cab....overall a number 1 truck esp now with 700 Hp
what makes some of u think that australia only has flat roads that are dry n straight.... try places such as the Adelaide hills and the Great Diving Range
have driven volvo's as an interstate truck driver in australia. I will not drive one or take a job if it involves driving volvos. They are cheap rubbish, I don't care what anyone says.
you must agree though, most comfortable piece of shit....pity most companies are now buying volvos,what with CAT not into Kenworth any more, and i think a detroit 60 is a s bad as this volvo..too much rev and no action...what do'y'reckon ?
Have only driven cats, cummins and volvos, no experience with detroits, the general talk in aust is a 550 detroit has serious grunt but tend to blow up earlier
wachaushenzi: I don't know how the US Volvos are but one can't even compare a Swedish Volvo to the US trucks. Do you think that getting the 700hp of this FH16, at 1550-1800rpm is high rev, that's up to you but the torq is still 3150Nm at 1000-1550rpm! Compare that to the biggest truck engine that Cat have: The Cat C15 - EPA 2007...The little D13 engine of my FH13 480 is even better than the C15! And don't even get me started in comparing the emissons of these engines! Just google "Euro 5"...
I am actually currently driving a Brand new( well,08 model)Euro 5 FH16, 540 hp Volvo, and for the amount of weight we tow here in Australia,it's no joy pulling up hills save for seat and cab suspension thus comfort and doesn't stack up against American models....yes not even freightliners argosy running on detroit 60 which i loath...yet again i've come across a volvo Fh running on cummins sig..that was coool
I've just checked up the Cummins Signature 600 engine and I don't think that it's very impressive. It has the same torq as my 480hp FH13 =) I can see that you think the FH540 is a tad tired if you'r using it as a Road Train (which are the coolest things out there!). The FH700'll be sweet for that kind of work! =) I can also agree with you that Volvos cab suspension is abit hard when one leave the asphalt. Scanias cab suspension is way softer.
@Rhys123455 some people dont have endless amounts of desert roads with no people on them like australia. We're all very sorry that our countries have people that live over a large area. We are so sorry that we cant have 3 to 4 trailers our bad
@Rhys123455 the man transports up to 50 tons for his job, didn't say that's all the truck could handle thou. With 0ver 700 HP im sure it would handle 2000+ tons no sweat
@Rhys123455 Yes, but you have the awesome roadtrains on very long straight roads. I haven't seen those in Europe yet. Although Holland has the extended trailers now.
The European trucks tend to have better emission control than the American trucks.... and also the diesel in Europe is cleaner than the American diesel fuels, with less particulates....
comparing volvo trucks to kenworth, is bascially comparing a volvo car to say a Chrysler 300C v8.
haha volvo australia cant even built there own powertronics the get them build else wear or new from swedan 47 grand later lol north american drive line rule who wants to pay 1000's for a roling computer that fucks up all the time, simple straight forward US never stops and if it does dont need a house loan to repair it
They're talking about carrying 50 tons on slippery, long, twisty and even 15% inclined roads. In Australia you have only dry, flat and straight roads and that's how you are carrying those huge loads.
And It's more obvious that you haven't driven on real mountain roads. Retarded. And how could I drive in Australia if I'm from Romania, Europe. Maybe you'll invite me someday to try.
as for anyone who thinks american trucks are fast or have grunt, they are fooling themselves, volvos are so much greater as they do NOT have to rev to produce outstanding power and torque figures, and this crap about a difference in american to euro power figures is a joke, if u listen to the video properly, 700BHP BRAKE HORSEPOWER, AT THE WHEELS!!! and thats been derated and under euro 5 emissions
By the time you get that meatball going I am in high range automatic's and batteries dont belong in trucks.Far as global warming thats a crock the Ocean puts more carbon than man ever will you gonna put a filter on the sea's
They should change the title to Powerful not Strongest. The truck seems to be nice. It can carry heavy loads and save fuel consumption, thats what we need these day. Trucks that don't polute the earth.
i work for volvo as a diesel technician in australia, and yes this engine is easily capable of 2000hp, 50 ton over here is absolutely nothing, the FH16 700s we have over here are pulling over 250ton
also the kenworth u mentioned is just a pile of crap, and yes the I-shift is an automated manual box which is very responsive and fast
I am jealous of this guy he has a great attitude in the video

Get a Cummins KTA and a Pittsburgh Power box and you got 800 HP right there.... I liek Volvo's and have nothing bad to say about them but screw the 700 HP Volvo, Im goin to get myself a Cummins!!!

the mack titan has a MP10 engine that generates 605HP and has 2060 lb.ft torque which is 2 792Nm this truck is 700bhp and generates 1350nmtorque
just comparing lol
454jags 2 years ago
You have it wrong...its 3150 nm torque......
scandiguy75 2 years ago
But the Mack has 4,6 nm / bhp....and the Volvo has 4,5 nm / bhp.
scandiguy75 2 years ago
Giant marine engines have even more Nm per bhp because they dont make more than 250 rpm.. You'll have to see hp, torque AND rpm in the right perspective.

Oh please, i know a log hauler in Maine that has a four axle Custom Peterbilt 379 with easily twice the power of this cramped flat nose. It can haul 2 fully loaded trailers of logs up and down muddy trails with plenty of power to spare. He said he could load three trailers on there easily (but the logging companies cut the corners too short and he would be able to make it around them).

Yes volvo has sort of accomplished for power & torque for now ,driver comfort Still at number one...Volvo cab rock & rolling,not funny esp, if doing long hauls ...bunks and cab still abit cramped and no emergency door from bunk cab....overall a number 1 truck esp now with 700 Hp

have driven volvo's as an interstate truck driver in australia. I will not drive one or take a job if it involves driving volvos. They are cheap rubbish, I don't care what anyone says.
red77715 2 years ago 2
you must agree though, most comfortable piece of shit....pity most companies are now buying volvos,what with CAT not into Kenworth any more, and i think a detroit 60 is a s bad as this volvo..too much rev and no action...what do'y'reckon ?
wachaushenzi 2 years ago
Have only driven cats, cummins and volvos, no experience with detroits, the general talk in aust is a 550 detroit has serious grunt but tend to blow up earlier

Matey, then stay away from detroit 60....you're missing nothing
wachaushenzi 2 years ago
wachaushenzi: I don't know how the US Volvos are but one can't even compare a Swedish Volvo to the US trucks. Do you think that getting the 700hp of this FH16, at 1550-1800rpm is high rev, that's up to you but the torq is still 3150Nm at 1000-1550rpm! Compare that to the biggest truck engine that Cat have: The Cat C15 - EPA 2007...The little D13 engine of my FH13 480 is even better than the C15! And don't even get me started in comparing the emissons of these engines! Just google "Euro 5"...
eyeballdude 2 years ago
I am actually currently driving a Brand new( well,08 model)Euro 5 FH16, 540 hp Volvo, and for the amount of weight we tow here in Australia,it's no joy pulling up hills save for seat and cab suspension thus comfort and doesn't stack up against American models....yes not even freightliners argosy running on detroit 60 which i loath...yet again i've come across a volvo Fh running on cummins sig..that was coool
wachaushenzi 2 years ago
I've just checked up the Cummins Signature 600 engine and I don't think that it's very impressive. It has the same torq as my 480hp FH13 =) I can see that you think the FH540 is a tad tired if you'r using it as a Road Train (which are the coolest things out there!). The FH700'll be sweet for that kind of work! =) I can also agree with you that Volvos cab suspension is abit hard when one leave the asphalt. Scanias cab suspension is way softer.

Well i guess better just wait for the 700 and see how it goes then

The European trucks tend to have better emission control than the American trucks.... and also the diesel in Europe is cleaner than the American diesel fuels, with less particulates....
comparing volvo trucks to kenworth, is bascially comparing a volvo car to say a Chrysler 300C v8.

They're talking about carrying 50 tons on slippery, long, twisty and even 15% inclined roads. In Australia you have only dry, flat and straight roads and that's how you are carrying those huge loads.

as for anyone who thinks american trucks are fast or have grunt, they are fooling themselves, volvos are so much greater as they do NOT have to rev to produce outstanding power and torque figures, and this crap about a difference in american to euro power figures is a joke, if u listen to the video properly, 700BHP BRAKE HORSEPOWER, AT THE WHEELS!!! and thats been derated and under euro 5 emissions

It could have 10000 HP, not gunna help in ice, 50 Ton payload isn't THAT impressive.
The problem with the American sourced gear is that truck drivelines can't handle the power that CAN be produced from some engines.
In Australia, you can buy a Bonneted 10 x 6 Kenworth, powered buy a KSQ19 Cummins, which has been DERATED to 600 HP to protect driveline components.
These are road registed (permit), at operate on public roads grossing around 170 ton.
Type "170 tonne road train hill climb"
shaned8845 2 years ago
i work for volvo as a diesel technician in australia, and yes this engine is easily capable of 2000hp, 50 ton over here is absolutely nothing, the FH16 700s we have over here are pulling over 250ton
also the kenworth u mentioned is just a pile of crap, and yes the I-shift is an automated manual box which is very responsive and fast
