    I'm sceptical of the 750, volvos are generally ####e to pull! New ones are very thirsty too, is the 750 egr or scr?

    They look cool, but noticed on the second video how sitting over/in front of the tire rolls the cab back & forth. Know a couple of guys moving blades for windmills that went to a cab over set up.

    They should bring some state side(along with parts for them), maybe that sort of hp numbers would fire up the other mfg's to do the same.

    The cab rocking back and forth is because like most euro trucks It has 4 point cab suspension so the cab isn't direcly attached to the chassis, this irons out Alot of bumps, improves ride and keeps out most vibrations and even helps with noise reduction!

    I know the Coe design would never compete with long haul cabs there but I'd say Volvo could sell these trucks as straight , city or delivery trucks over there because of visibility and manouverability properties they would have over conventional designs

    volvo trucks are too comfortable especially cab suspension is too soft not like on MAN

    but still too soft

    when you drive it fast on country roads and off highway through bends road is often too narrow for cab
