I own a transport company and I have DAF, MAN, Volvo and Mercedes trucks and so far the most reliable one is MAN (a 2015 d26 480hp with more than a million km only needed regular service like oil changes and filters), with Volvo we've had DPF issues and some electrical anomalies, Mercedes had issues with the retarder(small metal fillings blocked the radiators)and my DAF had issues with the exhaust aftertreatment (also no one can figure why it uses lots of adblue). By far the most economical is our Mercedes (a 450hp unit) with DAF coming second and MAN and Volvo are quite similar here. In terms of cab comfort all my drivers love the DAF, it has a really well designed cab but Mercedes comes second with MAN being the most outdated. We haven't ran Iveco or Scania(we avoid Scania because it's way to expensive and doesn't make much economic sense, I prefer to better pay my drivers). For servicing I do have my own service station and all trucks get serviced yearly or at 100k km(depending on what comes first, we also have telemetry systems and some trucks would adjust their service intervals depending on how hard they have been working). None of them left drivers stranded so far

Scania v8 is a masterpiece of engineering

[chrisfleming]

I have worked on all kinds of engines over several decades and have to say the best engines I have ever come accross were made by Hanomag. Only one problem; they don't make them anymore but they are above all others.

[PropperNaughtyGeezer]

With the in-line six-cylinder Mercedes has already made a huge step forward, compared to the older V6 engines, but the MAN with D26 (almost 480hp) now consumes 6 liters less in a 4x4 semi and is also much quieter and better sprung than the Mercedes . The predecessor MAN with 500 hp was even better, but it also drank a lot fuel.
But my best truck was still the F2000. Simple, quiet, robust and powerful.

Scania v8engine is my best engine, above all others

[BigTimeRoamer]

I’ve been a truck driver for the past 8 years and still rolling and I’ve heard stories about trucks and engines, confort and disconfort and for the most part, everyone said that Scania is the king of engines and technology but from my experience, for driving a MAN for the entire time going from first models Euro5 to the latest Euro 6 model now and different engine configurations and transmissions (all automatic MAN and Scania) I can say that MAN is a technical bullet proof machine. Even though they’re known for their sometimes electrical issues (which most brands have nowadays considering the mass digitalisation), on the mechanical part, they’re tanks and provide a very reasonable fuel efficiency no matter the engine spec chosen. I wish I would’ve driven other brands as well to provide info about them, but if I ever was going to recommend a brand to someone, MAN would be the one without even having second thoughts!

[eliot]

You forgot the MAN D4276, a bigger-bore version of the D38 that has not been introduced in MAN’s trucks (yet). All MAN inline six diesels of recent decades have been designed for two displacements each — the D2866/76, D2066/2676, D1556/E1856 and most recently the D3876/4276.

[neilburns]

I think all 4 are tremendous Truck, Bus and Coach manufacturers and are a real credit to the European automotive industry.

Fuso 6R20 (mutually developed w/ OM470)
UD GH11 & GE13 (Volvo technology)

[sherura]

Its the merc for me, seen V8 trucks transport up to 100+ tons to DRC, in a single route. Plus its the more common commercial truck in East Africa. Maintenance costs are reasonable too.

[SaiCharanReddy-ozez]

Volvo engine is my favorite of all time

[davidellis]

I’ve driven all these makes apart from MAN, without a doubt Scania is the choice for me, reliability is the name of the game along with comfort and ease of driving. Volvo comes a very close second but just doesn’t have the fit and finish of the Scania and the engines are Not as powerful or as quite. Mercedes, I drove a six wheel concrete mixer with the Gutless V6 engine, good quality cab and chassis but that engine was pathetic but reliable just like a Gardner used to be.

[michalisrantos]

Each in its own way. In my opinion for T.I.R use, at least for European roads, the ideal would be a VOLVO truck with a DAF cabin and a SCANIA engine...

[antonfloor]

I’ve heard from a lot of drivers that Volvo has the best transmission, but nothing can’t beat a V8 of a Scania

[paulsehstedt]

We've had them all, but Scania is a clear winner for our business. Volvo is great too, but has a higher fuel consumption. We sacked MB because of the poor economy and service. MAN wasn't as good as expected, but had a very smooth sound.

[kirostar]

New trucks should be good for around 500, 000k miles. After their warranty expires, expect replacement of gearboxes, injectors, electronic boxes for the DEF system and much more. Nothing to do with my old truck that hasn't had an injector changed in the last 16 years or nearly 2 million kilometers. Good luck to the future generations of drivers! They will need it.

[mbukeni]

I have drove all these trucks but Volvo is outstanding 👌🏿 👏🏾 🙌🏿

[istvanp]

The number of service locations is filled in wrong in the table at the end, Volvo and Mercedes are confused.
So Mercedes wins with 22 points, then comes Scania with 21, Volvo with 19 and MAN with 16.
But, as You can see in the comments below, there are further aspects, which worth to consider, such as price, running costs and reliability.
It would be interesting to see a more precise comparison with more aspects and with more brands (DAF, Iveco, Renault).

[Stale_Mahoney]

i am not gonna say that that is bether than this, but the gearboxes Volvo offers twin clutch non-synchronized transmissions that change faster than the boost pressure drops between gears, have seen 550's loaded to 50 ton chase down lighter loaded Scanias with similar engine performance in the hills, and in Norway we got nothing but up's and downs so that is a game changer from the older gearboxes where you had to drop 2 gears as you needed time to load boost again, these new ones drops half a gear and keeps going
