Drivers at mid America truck show get to check out the scania truck

That Scania truck looks beautiful on the outside and quite spacious on the inside.

 

I commented a couple years back on how i was looking forward to this rig after getting to see the test one in person and got ripped into like a fresh box of bacon steaks in a pit of starving lions. So im hopeful it does well here just to spite those guys.

That said if i dont rebuild my lonestar and go new. And they happen to be out im eyeballing one pretty hard. That sleeper looks amazing and that flat roof and sides eith an EPU are going to be bonkers for solar generation

 

That truck was there last year, too…sweet cabover!

 

Not my post but found this on google if anyone is curious about scania interiors. This is for their longliner.

Longliner with a 770 V8 getting 6 to 9mpg with a modern comfortable interior like this a 3.72 or 4.1 gear ratio big dual 200 tanks and a wetkit would be one HELL of a nice money maker. Also that cabover would be just plain easy mode at some of these tight places i go.

Like i said i really hope they are sucessful. And tbh with how #### most north american trucks are due to no competition this could shake up the market in a good way. Even if not i still like the concept.

 

Tbh considering how bad and flimsy nose trucks are nowadays.....im not sure there is a diffrence anymore. As for a cabover eh. My current truck the step is knee level so the climbing wont be mich worse lol.

 

It would be nice to see more competition in North America market. Edison Motors is still going and building Regular Diesel engine trucks because they can’t get ok for a generator setup running electric drive axles yet.

Tesla has a second generation or more production ready truck. Still no sleeper but I think they said it can legally haul 45,000 in trailer. Since it electric they can go to like 84,000 and they cut 1,000 lbs off weight from the original truck.
