    Lose market share , International used to be neck and neck with Freightliner. Bringing the Scania here , it would not sell well. Markets evolved down different paths.So market share would fall more. The tier 6 level is not the same level , I think . Closed course you can run about anything , look at dragsters , so testing on a track should be allowed. Using the engine and drive line may very well work , after some time . And yes International has sorry trucks.

    They are driving on road with usa plates with fast diff (2.35) without speed limiter. They bring trucks to test driveline for navistar, vw announced year ago that man will not make big engines anymore...i think starting this year they will offer scanias.

    There's something very funny going on there. Navistar is developing light and medium size trucks for GM. So they're getting closer to VW, and at the same time developing new vehicles for GM (and themselves?)

    Looks like he didn't raise his front axle on the trailer when backing up, assuming it is self steer.

    Twin cylinders, that can get ugly when they miss time. Curious of the empty weight and is there a tarp law?
