Amazing! It is an honor to be the wife of a professional truck driver who is part of this great company. Stay safe everyone on the road.

That trailer coupling that far forward is a strange choise, in Finland we have it about 1, 5 further back with a shorter dolly boom, makes turning so much easier. And we have a steerable axle on the first trailer, for the same reason.

Celebro verte tan bien conduciendo en el tráiler Gert ¡¡. Un abrazo

[peterroerhorst]

Wow, mooi spul!! Nog één eraan en je kan naar Australie! Mooie Docu.

[DirkVD]

Gewoon prachtig. Of 't echt heel handig zal zijn weet ik niet, maar wel heel erg mooi!

[addamr]

These big long combinations are very impressive indeed .

[johanverkade]

Mooie combinatie hoor...

Ik zie deze Europese roadtrains in Spanje wel vaker. Je hebt hier ook gewoon nog lekker de ruimte. Ook op de parkeerplaatsen..
Zeker met zo een mooie Volvo 780 zou dat super moeten rijden.

This should be a common thing in Europe

Here in England we orded a 780 xxl double drive aero and volvo say they dont meet uk specs because of reduced air flow to radiator will cause it to overheat so they cancelled the order .strange when they run the 780 in hotter climates than England

Alberta, Canada we do long haul with two 53' trailers as well.

Such a 72 ton combination definitely need two driving axels.

Вот это эффективность грузоперевозок. Вот это маневренность.👍👌

Mooie reportage, prachtige truck, maar een verschrikkelijk deuntje op de achtergrond.
Van mij mag je dat achterwege laten, of wat zachter...

It's great to dream big, but technological developments bring the advantages of smallness to this transportation as well. In Finland, special trucks have been tested with weights of up to 94 tons with 'only' 700 horsepower, and they work brilliantly. I don't know what the local law says about power requirements, but at least in terms of fuel economy, it would be worth trying a slightly smaller engines, if the law allows it.

This is a very nice combination. Does the standard single rear axle of the tractor capable of the 72000 Kgs gross ? What will be its service life ?

Dat Holland 25 meter lange setjes heeft leek al bijzonder maar dit gaat er aardig overheen. 😎

[robinluijken]

Mag je daar dan wel inhalen met je lzv? Hoort namelijk niet al denken de chauffeurs van wel😊

[FIXDRIVE-sj]

Hi, but the speed limit is the same? 89km/h?

[JPWest]

Ziet eruit als de introductie van een nieuwe motorfiets.
Welke was het? De Yamaha R9?

[charyuna]

We run quads in Oz, Volvos, mack, kenworths are the norm here. Should get the road train signs out. That way drivers wishing to overtake know it's longer than normal. What's with the single drive in Europe? Wouldn't the dual drive axles offer better traction, stability, and less strain on the single axle?
