Cabovers

ok,maybe i had jumped to conclusions to early but on they old site in the truck axle section they put an picture of a scania with AMD900 axle ,probably it was just a picture ...
anyway i found this http://www.raba.hu/press/news_45.html

 

i dont understand again what did you want to say

yes before axle was called amd900 A=axle M=front axle D= drive 9=9t ,and differential inside was rp731

now it is amd901 in use 1 is development stage with diff rp736 inside

 

old RABA website had a pictures of a scania (with this kind of front planetary hubs) in a truck axles (front drive) category

 

ok i understand now, i did not understand on which website that was

they forge only some non driven axles , this drive one is casted , and new small 11.5/13t rear differentials are welded

 

I wish I could find a outfit out of Washington state running cabovers. I would apply today.

 

Hi guys, here is a recent picture of a Scania R620 taken recently "credit to original photographer" I don't know anything about American/Canadian trucks, all I can tell you is this is about as good as it gets regarding cabovers, which is by far the most common configuration in Europe.
As the name suggests it has 620hp with the traditional Scania 12 speed box which is synchromesh, while I don't drive one myself fulltime, I have driven one a couple of times and they are an absolute pleasure to drive!.
I drive a much less powerful 480hp which has the same cab which is very functional and sturdy, quite comfortable too! enjoy.

Also guys I will point you in the direction of this excellent truckers forum if you have an interest in cabovers in Europe

Why no DAF trucks , I know they stir up emotions in you Irish guys.

 

Lol, yes Daf may stir emotions in many Irish! ask anyone over here what Daf stands for Don't Adventure Far!!!

 

Yip , we enjoy the challenge.
How much fun would it be if all you did was steer the truck.
How would you learn anything.
Smooth seas don't make for skillful sailors.
Driving a Scania makes for a poor trucker.
