    I am located in the B.C. interior and the vast majority of logging trucks are tridems with 18 speeds….
    This seems a completely absurd regulation!

    Kenworth has been on the decline ever since they started making the wide cab trucks.

    I figured model year 2027 would be the end of it here because that’s the next round of emission stuff. Interesting to see no mention of it in Canada though for their stuff starting basically now.

    If this happens in the U.S. I guess we won’t need anything above 400 hp with possible speed limiters anyway.
