Mercedes SLT heavy hauler with new Powershift and Turbo Coupling

[londonas2]

lol using "manual gear box is so hard" no it's not, if you know how to drive then you will make the gear change easily, it sounds like you passed an auto driving test rather than a manual

[alexeigulin]

С ужасом думаю сколько там налог будет на такие движки ) в России

Nice ballast for Liebherr LTM 11200.

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey

lot of those SLT actros working in US and canada...... as heavy haulers...

[DJzSith]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey its mercedes. You will never own a benz so STFU!

[AlabamaCrackerHonkey]

@DJzSith I've owned several Mercedes cars and that's what they should stick to making... leave the truck making to PETERBILT and KENWORTH. Euro trucks suck balls!

[DJzSith]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey I am not a professional trucker, but i got a truck license and i have used a few trucks, i think maybe its becouse im from EU an i never got to drive american rigs, but i liked volvo, scania and benz a lot!

[Jizzem66]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey

im a new zealander and i wouldnt be any happier to agree with you on that

[londonas2]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey peterbuilt and kenworth? let me think about it. scania awesome engine, great design and economical. kenworth, two big, two heavy, crapy engine, so uneconomical you will spend a fortune on fuel and im not even gonna tal about emmision. I think you should stick to cars because you don't know shit about trucks

[AlabamaCrackerHonkey]

@londonas2 Scania = terrible Euro plastic cab-over design, shitty transmissions, girly sound, and no more economical than a modern Pete or KW. I drove a Pete 50-ton recovery truck in the U.S. and often grossed over 65 tons towing combination vehicles which in Europe is illegal and your shitty trucks can't handle it anyways. You're limited to 40 tons, mostly auto transmissions or manuals with synchros (for the girls), and single trailers. Europe is the land of the ugliest and shittiest trucks.

[londonas2]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey just shows how much you know about trucks, im just sad for you because you just stated the facts that don't exist

[londonas2]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey engines can't handle? i believe that 730 horsepower is enough to tow most of the trailers. scania is as economical as a peterbuilt or a kenworth? this was like the funniest one ever have u ever seen any videos about scania or have u seen any specs about scania and kenworth seriously dude by saying this u just proved to be a stupid stupid american that knows nothing else but kenworth and peterbuilt. i feel sorry for u and please don't comment again

[AlabamaCrackerHonkey]

@londonas2 stupid American? LOL I live in Europe and drove a piece of shit Scania last week. I rode in a DAF two days ago and it felt like big shitty Honda. I haven't seen any Scanias towing 4 trailers like KW and PB do in Australia... or B doubles or triples in Canada. Europeans are just mad because 99% of them wouldn't make it farther than about 10 feet in a REAL truck.

[londonas2]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey yh sure but somehow about 30 countries use them, maunatins any other terain, they down tow 4 trailers because they are not stupid and europe is not australia so get some sence in your life and stop posting stuppid comments

[scania98989]

@AlabamaCrackerHonkey

well there is more steel on scania than on any trucks in US

they have 60t in scandinavia

strongest scanias can cope with 300t gross weight , have you seen what does scania and volvo trucks do in indonesian coal mines and in mongolia hauling 200t gross weight in mud where 325/95r24 tires last 14day

trucks burn 265gallons of fuel per day climbing on steep hills,work 24-7 engine can last for 3years 97% of humidity 110+ F or now -40F in mongolia

[TheSteffen89]

will haben !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aterv206]

Manual gearbox for this type of work. Auto's were built for dummies that can't drive properly.

Scanies are for fannies!!

[EpicBusinessTools]

Have you ever had an auto gearbox try and upshift while climbing a hill?

The result can be disastrous! Could even mean having to receive a tow.

There are industries where having a manual box has it's benefits.

[SOTRONIC]

Mercedes-Benz superiority would be the correct title of the clip...

[SecularTechnology]

Wait a second, Merc uses V-8's?

[LukasssSLT]

@SecularTechnology

Yes, for many years..

[SecularTechnology]

@LukasssSLT

Sweet.

[LukasssSLT]

@SecularTechnology

yea, very sweet

[mynameisg3]

@SecularTechnology yep they use ;)....they have one of the best v8 in europe ...they are fucking powerfuel ;)

[scania98989]

@SecularTechnology

yes since 1970 first one was om402

[stuarty500]

You can really notice how much faster the auto got up the hill. A lot smoother too and a lot less stress on the truck.

[londonas2]

@stuarty500 yh but also more boring, manual gives the driver joy of driving (well proffesional drivers, not drivers like you)

[mrhh2010]

gimme a stick anyday
