Nice one mate! I just recently found out that those first Titan’s were the brainchild of haulier Schultz from Hagen in Germany, before that Titan was only making machines for the farming and building industry.
What one idea can lead to eh…

Meanwhile in Italy… pity there isn’t a more closer shot of the trailer

Would that be a Leyland Buffalo supplying the grunt. ?

It’s more likely to be a Lancia I reckon DIG, but I might be wrong as usual… :wink:

I’ve found two clips of the Mammoet MAN 48.700, make sure you’ve got the sound turned on when watching the second clip :wink:

Technical data sheet, it’s interesting to see how much the torque output of engines have changed, the third sheet is from the modern Volvo 16l engine.

Interesting! I didn’t know MAN had fitted a V12 in a truck! In matter of displacement, it beats the 18-litre Mercedes V10.

Nice sound but the stacks look a little small I would have thought at least 2x 6inch to let an engine that size breath.
