J-Spec Trucks: The New Cool Trend

[Guest]

This will be realy Simple
But there are some Companys with own specs =)

[Dagsy]

I can't believe this thread is still going! Although they aren't J-Spec trucks, all the trucks in my VTC have been designed to a set specification to enhance the realism in a VTC.

400 HP/1700Nm 9L Iveco Hi-Way

Packs a surprising punch with paired with a 16 speed

[Fr3sty06]

I personally use a Scania R480 with 12 speed gearbox. I only use a custom paint and two flags but otherwise it's 4x2 and optimised for long highway cargoes. I'm gonna remove them anyway they make the truck ugly lol

Don't mind the damages, I only got rammed by a car at 40kph.

It look cool i'll try it, i'll post some screens!!

 

What do you think about that:

[diZZy [CZ]]

A little on the edge. If over, I will delete or move it...

 

[DerAmpelmann]

@diZZy [CZ] Indeed a bit over the edge, but by no means a bad looking truck.

A little less powerful engine, plastic parts and default rims, then it would meet the requirements.

Brazilian-Spec Trucks.

 

This article is a joke has no intention of offending anyone.

And also sorry for my bad english. 

 

You need old trucks (because old always gold).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Always be overweight (Much more than allowed by law).

 

 

 

  

 

  

 

Put the front of your truck in hell and rear in heaven (be careful with police).

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

You need sounds like this:

Don't forget loud and overkill engines so they can go 150 on rural roads to slide right into the ditch/someone else.

Scania R440, Found a nice trailer to match it.

Are Allison transmissions really common in European trucks? I'd imagine its mostly ZF, Volvo and Scania transmissions.

[caff!!!]

^ I do not know, but I'd assume it would be more common on light rigid trucks and buses than heavy/mid duty trucks.  6 gears don't handle hills that well, and the transmission is a 1:1 copy from ATS so the final ratio is way too high for Europe speed limits.  I will be excited for the day when SCS finally allows you to select a final drive ratio in game, without mods, so I can fine tune my highway revs on MP.

[Dr_Dog]

Never seen allison transmission in a truck. Thats how common it is. All brands have their own automatics which are far better. Allison is more of a bus transmission

[Guest]

When J-Spec rules were made, allison transmissions were not available in ETS2. If J-Spec rules were made today it would have excluded allison transmissions for sure, they are indeed that rare.

 

Though mostly used in buses there are a few operators in Europe who use them apparantly:

 

 

[caff!!!]

^ The 4700 has a pesudo crawl gear that could very well allow for it to push that much weight

[AngryBadger]

I decided I needed a truck other than my big Scania, for normal load so I got this little guy:

 

 

DAF 460 with the 12 speed retarder gearbox.  It was quite different going back to a lower powered truck after using the big Scania for so long, but also quite fun.

I don't really know or didn't. I use it because I don't want to go through all 12 gears when using manual with my controller.

I would use automatic box with 12 gears, but I don't like the one in-game. I used the smart automatic option or whatever it was called, but it downshifted too quickly when giving just a hint of gas. And without the option enabled, it upshifted way too late or not to 12th gear at all.

[Dr_Dog]

For adaptive transmission, you need either pedal or a analogue button, no binary on off.  Because throttle position determines the transmission behaviour

[Enzo #GaleraDoSul]

I have few trucks with engine that type of engine I'll send the photos later

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I use the RT-button of Xbox One controller for throttle, but the range seems too short for the adaptive transmission to work correctly or the way I would prefer. Hence I use the Allison gearbox manually which isn't exactly realistic what comes to J-spec trucks. However, it isn't mentioned in the rules, so I shall stick to using it until I come up with something better.

Sir, after thoughtfully reviewing your information i must regret to inform you that your information must be deemed as false. Please show me which trailer is 3t, i'd love to have that one. A cooling trailer can weigh up to 10t. The limit of 40t doesn't apply to all countries in Europe. Some have exemptions to even 70t. 4x2 isn't even allowed to pull 40t. Max rear axle load is 12t, and a 3 axle trailer may carry 9t per axle (9000*3=27.000+12.000=39.000). Anything over it will require a 6x2/4. The extra axle is allowed to carry 10t, so 49t would be the max load with a 6x2/4. Hence why there's so many 6x4 in Scandinavia. Low HP doesn't mean better fuel consumption when heavily loaded. It'll consume even more since it requires a lot more throttle than a high powered truck which needs less throttle so less fuel to pull a heavy load. And too my personal experience i enjoy 6x2/4 more than 4x2 to drive. That's why i see so many high powered trucks in the fruit and vegetable business. The Scania R500 would be the ideal solution for heavy loads and most efficiency. It's the cheapest V8 available, has much better benchmark statistics than the the V6, and doesn't require any additional maintanance just because it has 2 more cylinders. The reason most trucks across the rest of Europe has an engine between 360 and 500 range is because the new emission rules in Europe has made transport by truck so difficult and expensive, that self-employed drivers and companies have no other choice than to buy a new Euro 5/6 for as cheap as possible. Technology is moving fast and companies are required to keep up with it. The second hand truck websites are full of Euro 3 and 4 trucks. These engines weren't even produced so long ago. It's only a matter of time for the new Euro 7 to come out. And all Euro 5 trucks will be put for sale again, but no one will buy them because of European emission laws. Most companies export their trucks to low wealth countries, that doesn't have such emission laws. This is one of the main reasons self-employed drivers and companies don't want to invest in high powered trucks. You'll be able to drive it for approx 10 years and then you can throw it away. My old truck is in Iraq now:

 

 

And it will service them for many many years to come! 

Mmmmmmmmboi........ An r380, with topline?? (sry it seems weird to me, my jspec coming soon though)
