    here volvo sells average 500hp, sometimes 460 sometimes 540
    d16 is rare, sometimes someone buys 750, heavy haulage are always 750 due time.
    scania r450 is best seller of all trucks sold in country and lot of s500.
    scania sells some 650 some 730 as premium engines. there were some 580 for heavy haulage before 650 came.
    580 is common engine for those who run ref. trailers.
    most common engine in MB for animal transport is 580, more than 50%. this engine provide very good balance between performance and fuel economy. in recent time lot of 530hp 13l are sold. even some 120t HH tractors.

    You really think Cummins Emissions Solutions manufactures NOx sensors? You usually can save a buck sourcing with Cummins P/N though.

    Most of them are Continental, but may have different name on it.
    Sensor element itself is made by NGK, electronics, final assembly and calibration by Continental.
