Yes, that's true, trucks have up to 16 gears (at least here in Croatia...), but that van isn't going to carry anything heavier than like 2 tons...
And I was comparing it with a supercar because cars and vans have similar transmissions...
Diesel engines have high torque but low rpm operating ranges, and carry heavy loads. The range of gears allows the truck to get moving with a load and bring it up to speed utilizing the best operating conditions of the engine.
.. No point in talking to you. You're just completely retarded. If you pay any attention to my post history, I haven't had any comparison discussions in a while. I guess though to see that you'd actually need to read, and I understand that is VERY difficult.
Probably won't happen, the only bus driving here is just a Mercedes Sprinter and it stops on the other side of the street right in front of my house. The chances i will be hit by it are minimal since i do not need to cross the street for anything.
No Tomba i will not create my own thread to have worthless discussions with a person who posts pictures of himself in the "Post your girlfriend" thread.
I am sorry but i am completely the opposite of what you think i am, i am a fit young male as shown in the picture below.
I think i should post my picture there too then.
