it is not day cab it is longest permitted cab in europe
it has 35inch wide bed it is really quiet (less then lot of lexury cars)
i am 5´10" tall and when i stand on engine tunell with outstretched arms i can hardly reach ceiling.....
and when you are riding on these roads even this truck is too long ....
and believe me there are far worse places than this road
http://www.youtube.com/user/saurer87 -recommend to watch all videos ( related to trucks) on this channel -there are some tight spots (
in Switzerland, Italy, are very popular trucks with trailer -not tractor+semitrailer) just because of this

Thats what Im saying, nice daycab lol
Working Class Patriot and OutLawRadio Thank this. -
So now scania has the most powerfull truck in europe, last year was volvo with 700 hp and the year before man with 680hp.
I have never seen one of those trucks around. they are made mostly for "pride" and marketing and usually only big big companies buy one of them to show off. Average price of diesel in europe is over 7 dollars a gallon (in italy at he moment is almost 9 dollars a gallon). in italy we have lots of mountains and 480hp is more than enough. In central europe average hp is 320 hp.
As for the european small cabs, well our trucks are even too big for our roads, here in italy we have some small small roads and old industrial areas.I'd rather have my small daycab than crash at the first corner.
look this picture i took, this is in rome and is the only street to reach an industrial area,this is a 2 way street and is normal to cross other trucks. And to deliver i have to stop on the street:

I like it..!!

I like the seats. With the price of fuel and tree huggers I would think they would be 200 hp instead of 730hp. I wonder if it's very loud. The V8 diesel make a much different sound than the I-6. Having the old C-16 from cat on the list would be nice for bragging rights
