Cabovers

interesting way

here in my country as i already wrote today MAN is best in sales probably in last 10years ...they are nice trucks but did not cope well with our conditions ( often overload up to 50% 132000lbs is quite normal in construction on 5axle tractor 4x2-semitrailer combination )

bad fuel.... some uses red diesel as fuel

bad oil( you buy branded box but who knows what is inside )

bad roads (plenty of potholes narrow and very.bad....

plenty of hills and mountains (road infrastructure is not so developed so you often climb more than one time to cross hill

no maintenance(when truck get out of warranty no one take maintenance

careless drivers.....

but they are still first on market shares because of services , they earn their trust only with service there is plenty of them and they are only brand with service on european level

i think your services are stupid better for them would be be fair and not try to rob customer , then customers would not avoid services also this would make a satisfied customer that would come back and buy another time from same dealer/service

How about this icee? A 6*4 with a lift axle for better traction in ice! http://www.olengen.no/Produkter/Bilder_ATFD/B7523-A.jpg

 

Dude! PLEASE!
they're still building truck cabs from aluminum sheet panels held in place with rivets and clutch pedal that's a curved rod exiting the cab trough a holle in the floor.........and you're talking about multy layered insulating glass works????
JeWezzz! I'd be lucky to see an American production truck that has doors which won't let wind come trough and a 4 point cab suspension..........but there ain't such thing.

 

Yea! Give me a MAN TGX any day! Beatyful truck!

Oh, I forgot! I can't have one of those things here in the land of junk enforced trucking industry.

 

Forgot the bed, even the normal FH bed would be good, to get rid of the Scania's million piece bed

Actually not the traction that's the problem if you ask me but to catch it when it let go. It's much harder than a 6x2, slide goes so much wider and it happens fast, a bit like an old e30 to drive empty/light, fun but nothing I choose in a truck. But 6x4 with lift able would be nice to try, only tested the ones where you can dump the air out

 

I'm driving a 6*4, it's sweet to drive but like you said when they let go.. Also I find a tag with a little weight shift is much nicer in wet conditions, had a rear steer tag before, nicest handling truck I ever drove,

 

That is amazing!
How is it possible to have a tandem drive and be able to lift one axle up?

90% of trucks here don't even have diff lock, only power divider lock......completely useless without diff lock also.

Never seen a controllable height on air ride suspension on this side of the pond aether......well, on any kind of suspension.

Those look like planetary axles. Never seen any of that here on regular trucks. Just some oil field trucks that were fitted with axles like that imported from Germany.(imported axles)

 

Yep they are amazing that way loaded, full look, point the nose and nothing stops it
Drove a couple of 100km on wet ice and only when I had to brake I realized how slippery it was....
