Yeah, I agree!
Early Volvo FH12 and F12 got so many interior parts from old Volvo cars and now they keep the same design.
But Volvo Say they will introduce Version-3 soon. They say the interior will be revolutionary different and for internal comunication not CAN only, but optic lines will be used

If my company was big enough to employ a Pablo with all the special tools.
If we only worked regional.
Then maybe. -
really I think it is good that one corporation, like Volvo lets Mack and Renault build other type of trucks with original cabins, suspention, different interior...
Sharing powertrain saves money.
BTW, there are Finnish SISU trucks. They are all with Renault cabins now and Volvo engines generally! But they make very tought frames with fantastic durability! -
most interesting part on sisu is that they used to replace cat engines with volvo ones but not renault
now only MB inside renault was not serious enough -
What engines are available on Mack? -
I've never seen sisu trucks, are they just sold in Finland ? I might be wrong but does sisu mean courage?

Sisu is a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However sisu is defined by a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain an action against the odds. Deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision against repeated failures is sisu. It is similar to equanimity, except the forbearance of sisu has a grimmer quality of stress management than the latter. The noun sisu is related to the adjective sisukas, one having the quality of sisu.
