trucks in europe are limited to 80-90kmh or 50-55mph. the gearing is also different so comapring trucks in europe vs trucks in america is pointless. the only way you could tell something is uphill perfarmance but everyone seems not to give a s*** and is only interested in speed...
It all depends on the gearing of the truck. My 99 FRHTliner HAS done 162kph (101mph) in Wyoming and Texas. I drove it respectfully Please don't ever compare Europe to North America for trucking. The distances we have to drive are so much greater than Europe and we are usually paid by the distance not hourly. An 8 hour work day would mean a cross Canada run is 5200 kms and would take over 8 days one way.

The best trucks in the world are AMERICAN MADE!! They handle better, and accept more abuse. The best cars in the world are AMERICAN MADE PICKUP TRUCKS!! They are versitile, safe, and will go almost anywhere, in high style..
Freightliner, Stirling Trucks, Western Star Trucks, Detroit Diesel - owned by German Daimler AG.
American Pick Up Trucks are made with German Industrial Robots. Dollar are made with German printing press. Mc Donalds kitchen equipment comes from Germany. EMD locomotives SD 70, 80, 90 are build with German technology. The touchscreen of Apples I Phone are german made. MP3 is a German technology. US Army used German goods. No Hollywood Blockbuster without German Engineering. Thats fact.
Your German investors made a wise choice in Freightliner Corp!! Your German built robots run on software that was developed by a colledge dropout from Washington state! Germans are like the Japanese...inprove on the backs of other inventos, but don't we all. Many of the Mercedes automobiles you drive in europe are made near Tuscaloosa, Alabama! (likely by rednecks)
Now, why in the world would I want to do something like that for? The reason for my response was to show y'all Euros that you have too much fricken government over there! Our vehicles are different due to needs, and the rules we operate under. Y'all coast down hills (use Georgia Overdrive) to achieve speeds that we can legally operate at over here. Most states set the same speeds for all vehicles, and in Utah, that is up to 80 MPH or about 130 KPH. About 10 states are posted at 75 MPH.
This looks like a case of Georgia overdrive! (coasting down a hill) 120 kph (75 mph) is the speed limit for trucks in a dozen US states! As of January, Utah has posted an 80 mph (128kph) limit on a couple of sections of Interstate 15! This includes trucks! The truck in this video would have a hard time keeping up...
For safety reasons, lorries are electronically limited to 56mph in the whole of the EU, so this is indeed running on "Georgia overdrive"! Would be interesting to see what it could do without the limiter...
Most of the US. state governments, as well as our Federal Highway Administration have examined the practice of splitting speed limits, and have found that there is not a gain in safety. In some cases, it actually causes crashes. It is safest when all the traffic goes the same speed! 55 mph trucks do not mix well with 80 mph cars. California has the greatest split in the USA, 70 for cars and 55 for trucks. Calif. has the highest crash rate. Go ahead without the limiter, I will post a video soon.
I own and drive a Freightliner FLD 132-64 ST (Classic XL) conventional tractor, pulling a stepdeck semitrailer. Under the hood is a Caterpillar 550 hp, 1850 torque, 3406E. backed by an RTLO 18913 Eaton Roadranger transmission. The rear axles are 3.36:1, and spin 11R 24.5 tires. This truck will run in excess of 100 mph! (160 kph+) 1600 rpm is about 80 mph. I have aftermarket 800+ hp injector and turbo modifications. I plan on filming an 80 mph run next time I run through Utah; I will post it.
Jeez, 100+mph, is that hauling a trailer? Would love to see that! With the speed-limiters, remember that the roads in the EU are absolutely packed full. When I was in the states I saw semis going 75 but that was safe because they can keep a decent gap from the car in front. Over here you only get a 30 foot gap between vehicles on the motorways for most of the day... although most truckers prefer to run at night when the roads are empty.
100+ with the trailer loaded on a flat level roadway without the help of a tail wind. One would wonder if this would be safe, 80 tons going 100+ down the road?! We have "traffic jelly" and "traffic jams" over here too. A good example would be I-25 north of Denver, Colorado. It is always full, and everyone runs 75 to 80 on it. (posted at 75 MPH) Many of us prefer the night also for the same reasons. The technology likely exists to install "tailgate limiters" on all vehicles.
I will admit a typo on the 80 tons, but even 30 or 40 tons is heavy enough to be a disaster. I have had to get out of the way of loaded big rigs racing down the Interstate at over 100 mph. Bull haulers (livestock) are the worst offenders, and are sometimes running overweight.
you dont want a plastic truck if u do buy a tonka.
pick up trucks are meant for work and should be strong and sturdy enough to handle what you throw at it, i dont think plastic is ideal for a truck, at least not structurally.
The boy, what 7.5 ton lorry?? You if not in a course do not write, and look as the uncle go, and that you write delirium any. Full weight of a waggon of 26.420 tons. Try stop for the speed 110km\ch
he did not removed anything. see the fuel guage, he just were going down the hill- thats all.
ps. lorry 40ton, 100kmh+ is a disaster? and what You all say about car drivers? some doing 70kmh on motorway! and others 200kmh+ i THINK THE FIRST ONES 70KMH ARE MORE DANGEROUS TO THE TRAFFIC
It is speed limited, he´s going downhill . Notice the yellow lite below the 120 km marker after he goes 90 .If the speed limiter was out or off the light would not come on.
it;s not true...! I am drive an MAN and the ligh you can set it to light up at what speed you want from the bord computer.for exemple at my truck i set it to light up when i pass over 60 Km/h so i can know to not drive faster in the city,s
