Cabovers

the biggest engine in Truck I saw was Cummins 19L in Kurgan Ballast trucktor.
MZKT uses marine engines too, aka QSK.

 

largest ever serial truck engine was isuzu giga with over 30L i think it was 36L

 

ouh.... not used in ex-Ussr

 

Ok, why not to pay some attention on class 5-6-7 cabovers for urban operations.

Lower speeds and that's why cabovers are safe enought!

 

Bottom end is open going through that going to clean it out real good
Before they slap the pan back on!

 

They were built in SA but that series was last built here in the late 90's I think.
Mercedes have been building and assembling trucks in SA since 1962.
This is for the local market , about 6 to 8 000 units a year.
This includes Freightliner and Fuso brands that fall under Mercedes.
Cars for local but greater numbers for export.

 

looks like there will be far more small trucks here as well

just look at maxicity there will be far more of them

hood take too much space from vans ....

 

I love it!!! Man that is throwback 4real.

 

That brings back great memories. I spent years working,driving,repairing,rebuilding those New Generation Mercs. What a fantastic truck they were...simple,reliable,comfortable,easy to fix. They put the most money in my bank account above any other truck to date.

A popular modification in Ireland 30 years ago was to remove the nine speed ZF gearbox and fit a thirteen speed fuller 'box. The N/A 16 litre V10 320bhp unit could sing after that.

 

ouh, some rare old cabovers from USSR....







Early cabovers were so ugly.... bit some drivers think sweet
