kscarbel2 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Scania Group Press Release / July 2, 2020 After buying three new Scania trucks, Diego Ibarra of Transporte Ibarra is impressed by the quality of both the trucks and the service he gets from Scania Argentina. "I was very surprised by the ease of driving, impressive technology and comfort," he explains. "These new trucks improve the drivers' work. Not only in safety, but in comfort, with how many kilometres and hours they spend in these trucks." With the company's two largest Scania trucks, an R 500 acquired in 2019 and a more recently purchased R 540, they are able to transport b-train configurations of up to 75 tonnes. .

Mack Technician Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Actually the Freightliner Columbia RSC has been proven as the most roll stable.

Maxidyne Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Freightliner's software is impressive: Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63163-a-fleet-of-new-heavy-trucks-for-argentinas-transporte-ibarra/#findComment-454796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Mack has also developed some impressive RSC specifically from applications like ready mix trucks. But actually, I was talking about the stability of the trailers, and one of the best measures of that is RA (Rearward Amplification) which is a fancy term for the "tail wagging the dog" behavior seen in multiple trailer combinations. Single trailers generally do best in these comparisons, followed closely by B-Doubles, long conventional doubles, short conventional doubles, and triples are the worst.

kscarbel2 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Daimler's RSC on Freightliner and Western Star-branded trucks is supplied by formerly Belgium-based WABCO which was acquired by Germany's ZF this year. The Z in ZF stands for Zeppelin. The company was founded by airship builder Count Ferdiinand von Zeppelin.
