Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

I'm sure it was made like that because the owner wanted it this way.

I've seen many custom truck interiors, and most seem to take their inspiration from brothel interiors.

Truck drivers do not make good interior designers I'm afraid.

 

what is wrong with this, they are obviously happy in borthel, at least this is stereotype. so why not be always happy place?

 

If he's happy, fine. But I have seen more classy interiors.

 

Manual transmission? Ancient technology....

 

Yes, a synchronized manual ZF. Not standard (standard is the Traxon automated), but available on request.

 

Interesting, so Kenworth now offers a cost saving, environmentally friendly solution to give the driver a comfortable temperature in a quiet cab. Very nice.

A few remarks.

I think it would have been better if they had integrated the heater with the coolant system. That way it can heat the engine block as well, and with an oil cooler that is connected to the coolant system, the oil could also be heated before the engine is started.

I also looked at the shore power cable, it has normal household connectors, Very odd, those would not be allowed here, we always use IEC 60309 plugs.

These yellow ones are for 110 V, in Europe we use blue ones for 230 V:





The first one is completely watertight. You can also get them for 2 x 110 V, those are orange.

I know those NEMA plugs, I've worked with them. Compared with these plugs they are rubbish (sorry).
