    Also produce man alway said he had a classic, we have those statements in text , I'm willing to bet $50 produce man ain't even an owner driver! I bet he's a truckers son about 16-19, if I'm wrong I hope he's not reptasentive of American truckers, I would like to think Americans are intelligent decent individuals

    is a ok truck the design is verry poor no nothing inside gest a big box small mirrors the dash bord is way to hight you can't see much arround a lot of my friends have one because they are easy to fix and they dont brake that often that's the reasson people baying this truck,and you can fix it almoust everywere ,ussualy it comes with cat,cummins and now paccar.the new one is call 587 what a joke is the same truck diffrent headlights,the kw 700 is more successful then the twin brother.now volvo would be verry good truck bat the service is so bad here,mechanics here have no skills gest part changers,the good mechanics are hard to find ,and verry expensive.brakes everybody uses drums no disc we are going backwards here you press the brake pedal and the truck will stop next day ,nobady wants disk brakes besides europeans emmigrans americans they are not crazy aboute,it .way i don't know .here we will never have the qualitie that you gays have overthere,bat is ok .look this way who got the best cars ok europeans,japan and rest.so is the same with trucks .so the battom line is this i'l do my best with what i have not to many options.sorry for spelling.

    Why produce guy bothers me so much , it's not his criticism of trucks ( which he had no knowledge of) its his ignorance and absoloute bad manners toward eastern European and Russian guys on this forum , I hate racism or any idea that someone thinks he is better than someone else, 9898989 and Pablo-ue knows what they are talking about! I can't stand to see those guys belittled! I had polish, Russians and a lithuanian guy working for me, uneducated ? No! Absolute gentlemen? Yes! Very smart and good decent guy? Absolutely ! I'm still friends and in regular contact with these guys,

    lets try to stay closer to trucks ....

    so we found out that 730 is not necessary for work in eu mainland no one need more than 500, 400 is enough..... but they will be sold in heavy haulage segment, for pride for show trucks and other things also guys from scandinavia will need it for their high gross weight and norwegian mountains...( in sweden will be probably soon 90ton for logg hauling)

    also australia is pretty hungry for large HP, NZ also.....

    but this engine is rated near its construction maximum usually dc16 cant be tuned for more than 800-850 ......

    also price difference from 620-730 is pretty big (different engine 620 is 15.6L this one is 16.4 xpi variable turbo .......) different gearbox.....all manufactures here had very big problems and they still have with clutches 2250lb ft was limit for a long time

    Actually you will find, the scania 16.4 us actually a 900 hp industrial engine downrated so the gearbox can handle it, even the 15.8 is a 830 hp marine engine. Beside horsepower isn't the limiting factor , it's torque! So find me an engine that provides a higher torque rating in trucks !
