  1. The Scanias would be great for local work, home every night or away a couple of nights at the time. Short lenght trucks, tighter turning radius, a great advantage in many locations

  2. 80's Us cabovers didn't had much comfort. These Euro trucks is a different world. Sorry.

  3. Don't know. But I will think this is quite possible a 1 off truck. 770S for a small camper is purly for fun, not something the majority would choose.

  4. of a ruined shoulder and reduced hearing

  5. The US trucks are much about the big sleepers. Many truckers are on the road for weeks at the time, and it's great having a good space in the back

  6. If one love V8, there is not so much choice)

  7. I agree, 1 mill seems a bit much, more like half. But maybe there is some quite luxxurious interior in the house and so on.

  8. 'next friday' he mentions in the end. visiting the factory

  9. He never said it was a country. Exported from port of Rotterdam, in Holland.

  10. Yes, there is the blindspots, and the added length making it need more space to turn. With the hood the cabs are quite low above the ground, easy to climb up into them and into the sleeper. The Americans used to have many cabovers up until the 80's because of the total length rules, but then it was changed and one could have longer trucks. The cabovers in US had bad reputation for having much less comfort than the hooded trucks, because of suspension. This is why many american truckers are skeptical to cab forward trucks, and do not think about the comfort in modern cabovers in Europe is much better. They love the hooded trucks also much because of style. I agree cabforward is more practial to drive around, takes less space. Some types of modern hooded trucks in the Us have a shorter hood, with better view of the road in front, like Freightliner Cascadia  @ulidorsch1943

  11. All he said is 'Holland'. The port of Rotterdam is in Holland

  12. Would take a look at his social media accounts, insta, snap. He will likely update there when he is on his way

  13. Everyone looks at eachother to a degree regarding car/truck design, basically

  14. as long as the US customers keep on buy the less complex US trucks, at a higher price than the more complex Euro trucks, the money keeps poring in the stockholders pockets

  15. It's quite special that Euro trucks of any brand are not sold in North America, but about everywhere else in the world. there must be some serious reasons for it that make it as good as impossible to do it profitable.

  16. Make no sense. Scania is out of Sweden, for 100+ years, do things the Swedish way and design their stuff in Sweden. What nationailty their financial suppoerts got does not matter. Money is money.

  17. When a brand stays in their original location, use their original name, they are themself whoever the nationality of stockowners. DAF are still DAF, manufactured in the Netherlands, even they got american stockowners @mechniack

  18. Texas is just a part of the USA. Many people do not know that.

  19. The americans likes their big sleepers, often being on the road for weeks and months, that fits great with their Peterbilts and other hooded trucks. Euro trucks could do okay in the US for more local transport, within a state, and around town, where just a few nights at the time in the cab would be needed

  20. The wish for large sleepers for the truckers is the reason they do not include length of the truck in total length. And good for them.  @Henry-ij3ks

  21. Not so weird. They do it to please the US market, give them some of what they are used to, choose among the known brands

  22. Just the truck is like 150K at least. You should know. 1 mill might be just for show, possible more like 300-500K. These custom campers are pricey!!

  23. New and very different from what they are used to, they are naturally curious. Because of the small cabs they are not too intersting for being away from home for weeks, but could be great for shorter trips, local jobs.

  24. The issue is the sleeper. Us truckers are very lucky having access to big sleepers

  25. It's called semi-automatic. A manual transmisson with automated/assisted gear change, used in 95% of trucks in Europe these days. Long gear sticks are gone decades ago in Europe regarding trucks used on a daily basis. Can't get drivers want to sit in a truck all day operating a old style gear stick when there are a much more comfortable option. Sadly have to tell, the Scania trucks got superior build quality over US trucks

  26. Both got their electronic issues. Many favor older more simple trucks in the US. Simpler = less issues. They run new and old trucks for millions of miles

  27. The engines in the American trucks is on the same level as in Europe. They have very strick emission rules in America too. The new US trucks are not so far behind in tehnology and comfort. Don't get fooled by the old style look. They got more noise in the driver cab, and cabs are often more narrow, many drivers prefere manual gear change. One can also order automatic or semi automatic transmissions, like normal in Europe. The Americans love to have a big sleeper, and that is best combined with a hooded truck

  28. Some older american cabovers have been getting more and more popular among enthusiast the last years in the US, many think they look cool, and I agree. Both American and Euro style trucks got their pros and cons, but in the end they do the job, transporting goods from A to B. It's great that not everyone drives same style of trucks, interesting to see different solutions. Seeing American truks on the highway of USA feels natural and right, while seeing some Amerian truck in Europe seems weird;) And the opposite way)  @ulidorsch1943

  29. V8 is rare in the US. That's his fazination. Trucks with Inline 6 engines like Volvo they got millions of in the US
