EPIC Australian Engine Battle! - The Ultimate Showdown

EPIC Australian Engine Battle! - The Ultimate Showdown

In this video we are comparing these 6 engines in areas like, power, weight, engine range and service locations.

And yes not all of them are produced in Australia, and non of them is produced by Australian owned company, however some of the engines, is only sold to the Australian marked.

In Australia truck drivers are called "truckies" not truckers, and the tractor is called a "prime mover" not a tractor. A tractor in Australia is what a farmer uses to dig up his field to grow his crop.

The steering wheel is on the right side of the truck in Australia, and the engine is “only” required to comply with Euro 5 emission standards

There's a long wait for any new Scania V8 in Australia. That in itself speaks volumes....

[tntfreddan]

The Volvo D16G had a 3 power specs, 540 (2650Nm), 600 (2800Nm) and 700hp (3150Nm), but it hasn't been in production for over a decade. It was replaced by the D16K which produces 550 (2800Nm), 650 (3150Nm) and 750hp (3550Nm).

[DarkMatter]

Fun fact: the suburb of Wacol in Brisbane, where Mack and Volvo have their assembly plants, got its name from the combination of the words "weigh coal" (and is pronounced as such), because it's the place where the coal trains heading to the port would be weighed.

As a truck driver in Australia, I can easily say that Cummins and Mack engines are the dominant choice, you will also find a lot of Cat C15's in older trucks

[nfsm]

In my experience growing up around trucks and occasionally working on them now is that CAT, Cummins and Mack are by far and away the most popular, especially for long haul/rural transport usually fitted to KWs, Macks and Western Stars. Quite a lot of them reaching the 2-4 million kilometre range despite the abusive conditions. The euro gear usually appears in the cities, mostly as rigid bodies or semis.
Shoutout to the old girls still trucking out there, like the Whites, Leylands and Bedfords

[Gurupimp]

I make the Connecting Rod's for the Volvo's up to D17 :D Have also done prototyping for Scania Connecting Rod's.

[ververis]

After owning several Scanias, I founds their parts way too expensive and got rid of them, Kenworth with Cummins has given me the best run and I’ve had all the brands except for Mack.

[janwojcik]

We have experiences and have the SCANIA V - 8 engines in several configuratians end they serve very well. Fuel efficiënt and reliable engines. World wide in long distance and heavy hauling. ❤😊

[felixthecleaner]

A very interesting and informative vid - Excellent!

[nfarnell]

The video was well done but, the best engine is the one most Truckies put their hard earned money into. There are a lot of fan boys regarding engines, at the end of the day it is a choice for best success for the actual owner. Local dealerships are the real source of "did I make the right choice". The quaility of service from them really drives an owners profit margin not the name on the truck.

[Low]

The Mack and Volvo 16.1l are the same motor. The Scania v8 is the winner though, the fact it has nearly 4000nm of torque which is almost double the Cummins, well, that makes it most powerful in a great chassis unlike the Kenworth chassis's. But the x15 is easy to work on and isn't as hard for aftermarket computers to plug in an diagnose. The d13 is better than the paccar 13l in that class, though Scania now have a 3000nm 13l 6 cyl too.

[nelsfreeman]

I like to read the brochures too while I am at the dealer waiting for them to fix my dependable and powerful emissions compliant motor.

[alirezajaleh]

Great as always. But the climate of Australia is hot and the trucks have problem with warm weather. You must review the trucks for long time and check the engine durability.

For my choice, Scania have the better, quieter motors on the market. Proved this to a Mac salesman about 15 years ago. He took me in a cab chassis 8 X 4 truck for a drive. He got caught in a newer subdivision; not able to get around a corner, and had to back out! I noted that the cabin noise was louder than my old girl. When we got back to the yard, I offered to take the sales rep for a lap of the block. With the windows up, my 1977 truck was quieter than the 2008 Mack! He also could not get over the grunt as was loaded, grossing 28.5 tonne.

A few years earlier, come out of a yard in the HIlls. Company truck went out behind me, gross of 42.5 tonne. I was at 33.5 tonne. Company truck was a Sterling, Cummins 460 hp. Mine, Scania, 296 hp. Got away from him on the first climb. Over the top, my practice is to ride the exhaust brake, running up to top speed of 85 km/h. Company truck went past me, leaving me in his dust. Company truck had a 1 km lead on me going onto Germantown Hill, a 2.5 km climb at 6%. I kept at it, and got past him about 1 km from the summit of the climb! Due to the low gearing, the old truck could and often did climb walls! Much to the annoyance of the flashy truck owners!!!

In Europe it´s common to buy a truck that has a great service station close to where you haul your goods. I know a truck company with about 50 trucks that started to buy another brand when their local workshop was sold and got worse.
The scania engies is today also made of compact grafite iron. Sins o couple of years.

[nathiolifant]

Australians are missing on one of the best and efficient engines, the MAN 16.2L

[aaronsanborn]

😂 Answer is none of the above...can't beat a Caterpillar

[jeffnyschuk]

I am a retired 45 years driver..I have always had the CAT engine then they got me the Cummins! This made me retire!!

[henryblanton]

Will Volvo Australia ever introduce the FH16 750/3550Nm ~ 2618ftlb Engine to Australia?

[redblock]

As long as the engine block is yellow you're good
