London,EN,UK -HGV UK/Trucklocator, by Adam Hart-Davies -August 10, 2012: -- Boasting power outputs that would embarrass a supercar, the world’s most powerful trucks are impressive feats of engineering. With enormous engines, they’re sure to put a smile on any trucker’s face. In recent years, two such monsters have taken the transport world by storm – the Volvo FH16 750 and the Scania R 730. Putting out 750 and 730 horsepower respectively, they are the undisputed kings of haulage... It doesn’t end there though – it’s the torque figures that are truly spectacular. While the horsepower gives an indication of the power under the bonnet, the twisting force produced by these engines is incredible. Both manage over 3500Nm, making light work of all but the heaviest loads. To put this into perspective, these trucks have over three times the pulling power of a Bugatti Veyron... Is this back and forth trend going to continue? Quite possibly – there are rumours and a few stunning concept images of a Scania R 1000. The FH16 750, has the same fuel economy and lower emissions than its 660hp relative. And both trucks are well known for their impressive reliability and durability. Once you get past the hefty price tag, these beasts are the best trucks money can buy...Labels: truckmakers news worldwide
