First Time Driving A Lorry Again!

So everyone was right, as soon as we eased away and headed onto the track for a spin (Millbrook Proving Ground, fascinating place) it felt like I’d been driving yesterday. As for rest-

One of things that strikes you most about them is the silence. And I know that this will cause some upset with a certain section of people but without a doubt from a driving experience point of view the best vehicle I’ve ever driven. The power is absolutely bonkers. Was 35 tonnes and accelerating like an empty 750. The tech which you know I’m a big fan of is on another level, esp hill descent which is tied into regeneration. And before the neysayers pipe up no, they aren’t suitable for every operation, no one claims they are, currently a select few but also much as many of you wish you were the majority of the industry isn’t running 800km a day at max weight across Europe. As I’ve said before I think it’ll be a dual hydrogen and electric future. Too many benefits to electric to discount it, esp in urban areas. Will be doing a full write up/video soon. Thank you to Martin at Volvo Trucks for a very enjoyable and educational day.

Pretty ‘amped’ up mate.

Sounds like it was an ‘electrifying’ experience.

I’m shocked to see these puns. However I’m positive someone will come up with more.

It’s worse than that Paul, some of these puns are positively terminal.

(sorry, it’s been a 15 hour , nearly 10 hour driving day (purely for my benefit Rob :unamused: :wink: , every minute paid, and it gives me enough time to get home tomorrow :laughing: ) I couldn’t think of a current yoke).

Was like riding a bike. Tho to be fair I never was much good at that either :wink: https://youtu.be/2inO2XGf330
