The truck that’s built for the city! 🔥 Meet our new family member: The New Generation DAF XB. Our new, sturdy and versatile truck. Whether you need a truck for distribution in urban locations, for specific city applications such as a refuse collector, or even on an inner-city construction site, the new DAF XB is your reliable workmate. If fPowerful diesel performance The new DAF XB is available with 4.5 litre 4-cylinder PACCAR PX-5 and 6.7 litre 6-cylinder PACCAR PX-7 engines with outputs from 124 kW (170 hp) to 227 kW (310 hp). Both modern and powerful engines develop peak torque at low engine speeds, supporting down-speeding and class leading fuel efficiency. The PACCAR PX-5 and PX-7 engines are ready for the application of HVO, reducing CO2 emissions with up to 90% Outstanding direct vision is realized by the low cab positioning, the large windscreen and side windows and their low window belt lines. As an option, a Kerb View Window is available for an unobstructed view on other road users on the co-driver’s side. The slim design of the new mirrors allow for the perfect combination of direct and indirect view. Highest payloads Low kerb weights result in highest payloads for optimal return per kilometre. Best-in-class vehicle efficiency is also realized through the extensive range of wheelbases (up to 6.9 metres) and chassis lengths, allowing over 9 metres superstructures. This ensures the best vehicle configuration for the job.  

#BeachTruckRVCenterBlog Wheel alignment is a crucial aspect of maintaining the performance, safety & longevity of a large truck. Proper alignment ensures that the wheels are pointing in the right direction, maximizing tire life & fuel efficiency. https://ow.ly/QqoC50TJVxm

A heavily loaded truck may fail to climb a hill due to several factors😎: 1. The truck's engine may lack the necessary power to handle the weight of the load and the steep incline. 2. Worn-out engine components, such as pistons or valves, can reduce power output. 3. Exceeding the truck's maximum load capacity increases the strain on the engine and drivetrain, making it harder to ascend steep roads. 4. Poor road conditions (e.g., wet, icy, or loose surfaces) can cause the tires to lose grip, preventing the truck from moving uphill. 5. Worn or underinflated tires reduce traction. 6. Problems with the gearbox or clutch can prevent the truck from engaging the proper gear for climbing hills. 7. Improper shifting can result in insufficient torque being delivered to the wheels. 8. If the driver does not select the appropriate lower gear, the truck may not generate enough torque to overcome the incline. 9. If the brakes are not fully released, they can cause resistance, making it difficult for the truck to climb. 10. Insufficient fuel delivery to the engine (due to clogged fuel filters or a weak fuel pump) can limit power output. 11. An overheating engine due to a malfunctioning cooling system may lose power and fail to climb the hill. 12. Uneven distribution of the load can affect the truck's center of gravity and cause instability, reducing its ability to ascend hills. 13. Lack of experience or improper technique, such as failing to maintain momentum or shifting gears incorrectly, can hinder the truck’s performance. Here are some of the preventative measures:😎 👨🔧. Regular maintenance of the trucks, including engine, transmission, and brakes. 👨🔧. Adhering to weight limits and evenly distributing loads. 👨🔧. Ensuring the tires are in good condition and appropriately inflated. 👨🔧. Using the right gear for steep climbs and maintaining a steady pace and many more. #RoadSafety4all #DefensiveDrivingSkills #FleetManagement #BasicVehicleMaintenanceSkills Video Credit: to the respective owner.

The article discusses the pros and cons of air disc brakes (ADB) in the trucking industry.  While ADBs offer several advantages, including improved stopping distances, reduced maintenance, and increased safety, they also come with higher upfront costs and increased complexity.  Experts from Bendix and Meritor emphasize the benefits of ADBs, such as better performance, linear torque output, and reduced brake-to-brake variation, which can improve driver satisfaction and retention.  However, they also caution that ADBs might not be suitable for all applications, particularly those with less frequent braking.  The article highlights the importance of evaluating duty cycles and lifecycle costs when deciding between ADBs and drum brakes. Overall, the choice between the two depends on the specific needs and priorities of each fleet.

How much weight are you planning to pull? How fast do you need to go? These are some of the questions our Scania team will ask before recommending an engine specification for your truck. There is a lot to consider before making the final decision. Is fuel economy your priority or are you looking for high productivity. Possibly you want a balance of both. Torque and horsepower are obviously your prime considerations. Multi-torque engine ratings are a way to get the best of both worlds – torque when you need it and improved fuel economy when you don’t. Consider this: If you’re planning to pull loads of around 36 000kgs, on flat terrain, an engine producing 350 hp and 1,450 Nm torque will suit your needs. With access to operating data from thousands of connected trucks, our sales team can help you make the right decision based on the experiences of thousands of operators around the world. #Scaniatrucks #Enginepower #ScaniaSA
