Scanias and Volvos, some old farts still want to drive heavily modified US trucks because they think they are cool.

Yeah my ###, 90% of them are American trucks/engines the rest is crap.

I think the biggest problem for European trucks in Australia fuel tank capacity
and SCR catalyst (ad-blue DEF)
for example scania with 3300mm wheelbase offer 750L fuel tank on left hand side ( with transfered batterys) and 400L on RHS +80L ad blue or 300L fuel and 160L of ad blue.....
lots of trucks has bridged( bypassed)
SCR catalyst, but still takes too much space -

What is the point of 730bhp when the truck is restricted to 56mph (90kph) as Euro law dictates?
I have driven a V8 Scania in Europe allthough it was the 14ltr version rated at 460bhp (a 1998 Scania 144 topline). The engineering was awesome. Driving comfort was really good and included air ride on the steer axle but it is true that the European cabs are just too small. There is a narrow bunk (by North American standards) behind the seats and the original Topline Scania had another bunk above the windshield!Scania man Thanks this. -
now bed is 20cm ( 7.87inch) wider then before ...... bed above windshield is replaced to rear wall of cab -
