First Delivery of World's Strongest Truck

The first customer of the Volvo FH16 700 truck, Tore Aase from Norway, has taken delivery of the first world's most powerful truck in Tuve, outside Göteborg in Sweden, where the truck is built. The truck will be used in long-haul operations in the west of Norway, hauling equipment for the oil industry. The world's most powerful truck, with 700 horsepower and a massive 3150 Nm of torque, is built for the most demanding haulage assignments, without increasing either its emissions or fuel consumption.

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!

bushwacker! stfu!

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

I am jealous of this guy he has a great attitude in the video

@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!

@TestECull "Torque is what gets you moving."

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

@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.

[TestECull]

@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 "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 Those things do not make peak torque irrelevant. If they did you'd see 200-400FT LB engines getting 20MPG or so.

It does not matter how many gear reductions you have if your engine lacks the torque to get things moving. We have 18speed gearboxes too, ya know.

@TestECull "2200 FT LBs? That's IT?! Pathetic. [...] We've had trucks slinging out 2200FT LBs for decades."

The reason peak-torque figures are irrelevant in a truck is that trucks have transmissions and reduction-drive differentials.

[TestECull]

@TheScotSheriff No, I didn't, and I still don't.

[TestECull]

2200 FT LBs? That's IT?!

Pathetic. Fucking pathetic. We've had trucks slinging out 2200FT LBs for decades. Might be Sweden's strongest truck, but it's just average for us.

Also, Youtube, why the fuck did you recommend me this? I honestly don't give a shit.
