    I was born in 90-s in Poland, black Mercedes, leather Jacket, and fake Russian accent. Doesn't matter where you go, it always works. No need to be scared.

    I agree. It's easy drive. With a 6x2 truck it's also a good combination when it's slippery.

    From a financial and environmental perspective I would choose a truck like this as it has GCW of 64 tons.

    once you get familiar with it it is nice to drive, you dont need mirrors, more comfortable, can go everywhere.
    but most of today drivers drivers would not have enough talent to feel it and way how 2 articulation points behave especially in slippery conditions.

    well this is only way to preserve it.
    sales of 2+3 combination like on photos above almost no longer exist, small number of 3+2 are still on road (for applications where semitrailer really cant work, like timber trucks, roll off tippers, livestock short-mid distance, BDF,...)

    also this two trucks are 3 way tippers for grain and pallets, that makes them even more rare.


    i heard that sweden plans again to raise weight.
    what is status now? you need 8 axles for 64t?
    how about 74t? is this possible for timber trucks only?
