Volvo Trucks - The Iron Knight - The world's fastest truck

Published on Aug 24, 2016

Volvo Trucks’ The Iron Knight is the world’s fastest truck – twice over. The record-breaker is custom-built in every respect apart from the D13 engine and the series-manufactured I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission.

The record attempt was carried out on a closed-off test track in northern Sweden.

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

Big NASCAR fan. Anything on an oval. Dirt or Asphalt. Modifieds, Sprint cars, any and all local racing. Grew up going to the local tracks in my Hometown of Tucson, Az. But in reality, if it has wheels, 2 or 4, goes fast, makes lots of noise, I'll watch it!😎

BTW #18 "Rowdy" Busch is my guy. Big Tony Stewart fan as well.

There's a guy right down the road from me with one of those twin turbine pulling tractors. I used to be a huge NASCAR fan and I'm still a huge NHRA fan and I hit the local tracks for oval racing. And there's a million other things I'm into. But seriously, turbine engines on a tractor to pull a weighted sled through the dirt???? Of all of the things literally in the world you could do with your money you're going to pull something heavy through dirt?

Obviously that's an insane amount of power but you could've had a top fuel dragster!!!!
