Here are some clips of trucks travelling along the Hume Highway and a couple on the Western Ring Road. I'm driving a Kenworth K 104 B-Double and before any of you anti-truck nutters or "would be if they could be" coppers want to complain, there are no speeding trucks here. The truck I drive is speed limited and I've backed off when other trucks were overtaking me.

The AutoCam cameras can be purchased from On Site Cameras, 1300 320 091.

  • How many rpms does a truck or this truck do at 100km? and how many litres per 100km does a truck or this truck do on highway? and around town? loaded or unloaded dosent matter

  • @astra686 G’day astra686,

    There are many variables with your question. The truck I’m driving in this clip does around 1720 RPM @ 100 KPH. It has a diff ratio or 4:33. I’m now driving a Kenworth K108 that has a 4:11 diff ratio that will give you 100 KPH @ 1550 RPM.

  • Fuel usage depends on the type of trailers, HP of the truck and weight, road and weather conditions (windy etc) and driving style. You can get anything between 1.8 to 2.2 kilometres to the litre, so an average trip from Melbourne to Sydney will be around 450 litres. Considering the amount of weight moved, these trucks are very efficient.

    Cheers,

  • I like those new Kenworth K100 Cab Overs and Frieghtliner Argosys. Too bad they don't have as much of them here in the United States. Majority of tractors here are Conventionals.
