  Americans know only one recipe: more. Brilliant engineering comes from constraints. Abundance creates lazy engineering.

  It wasn't Paul who drove under a Truck in TF&TF. It was one of Doms guys and did happen before Brian did meet them. xD

  funnily enough we have truck shows eg. IAA. currently a longer nose for aerodynamics and fully electric trucks are the hot shit rn.<br>Also there is a big movement to get more visibility for the drivers and new EU legislation for all three topics.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5BC8mdYUk&amp;t=1260">21:00</a> One thing is not mentioned though.... One(!) 40 tonnes truck does stress and wear the road like 4,000 cars! This is a <b>HUGE</b> wear&apos;n&apos;tear on the roads when pushing the weigh cap upwards<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5BC8mdYUk&amp;t=1350">22:30</a> Center of gravity greatly affects the way a truck behaves <b>BUT</b> the suspension is at least in the same scale responsible for driving stability.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5BC8mdYUk&amp;t=1360">22:40</a> the European truck is not lower, than US trucks, but is has &quot;under driving&quot; protect. The truck will not run over you but push you away<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5BC8mdYUk&amp;t=1455">24:15</a> To pull this 1 mile (!) long line of lorries, you need horse power in general, torque to put the power to the ground <b>and</b> grip! No grip, no torque<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5BC8mdYUk&amp;t=1470">24:30</a> The road train could go <b>ANY</b> speed depending on time and engine power. It is a flat continent with 1,000s of miles of plains. Once it runs, it is only a matter of time... in both directions 🙃

  The USA just keeps telling its citizens that they live in the best country and therefore, anything produced in its borders has to be the best produce, tech or engineering that ever graced the light of the sun.<br><br>The rest of us learned long ago that trying to pierce this delusion was bound to be fruitless so we just gave up and developped our own standards and regulations.

  The main reason I thought why they are shorter in Europe is because of the dimensions. The only thing that’s probably the same is; 20th or 40 feet container, but that’s whole the world. 1-2 containers can fit a ship, train, truck…<br>The streets in Europe are just to small for those big ass trucks! &nbsp;<br><br>Oh yeah, please try to avoid to already start speaking while it’s playing. Can’t understand you or the video 😉
