Cabovers

Looks like restyled DAF 105

 

they are now called xf116 for ssc and xf106 for sc ,

i dont like either how it looks in combination with kenworth chassis those steps really dont fit to cab,

but cab itself is excelent and it is huge step forward comparing to cab on current k200

 

what do you guys think on this one, they had big plans for it on global market, it is obviously design is inspired by european models , some features are really cool ,and pretty unique


i know here it cant success , we are skeptical of everything that is not German , especially when it comes to trucks , we look at this as something you cant risk so must be something familiar here even renault cant make success which is long time present on market

as for cars before 7-8years it was shame who drive hyundai but now more and more of them are on roads

 

My friend has three Hunday conteiner chassis trailers with meritor tridem axles, Wabco ABS (VCS-II). I'd say not bad, really. Good for 45' containers.

 

Asian trucks are generally 6x4 like in USA, but of cabover design, like in Europe, and they look like Europeans.

I wonder, what emission level are these vehicles?

 

they say euro5 but euro6 will come in 2015 , trucks are already seen in sweden on lake in european 4x2 layout

in south korea they use 6x2 with twin tires for on road applications , in fact trucks there are very similar to europe

scania products by regions are like this : europe , south korea , australia and new zeland is considered as europe in terms of specifications available engines, and equipment......

and there is at least one scania here imported from south korea , 4axle tipper , it was working with us on kosovo

 

I ran 2 Peterbilt 362 cabovers up until 2009 when I was in a major accident and had to quit trucking and sell out,When a new hire would tell me he didnt want to drive the cabover because he would be the first at the accident,I would tell him I didnt think I wanted him working for me if he was planning on wrecking my truck !!! LOL, I ran the cabovers right beside the 379's and they toted the wagon just like the 379's except they were payed for many times over and only required maintainence. They were stretched to 280" wheelbase and rode as good or better than any conventional I ever owned !!! Out of the dozens of trucks I owned I miss the cabovers the most !!!

 

280" Pete 362?! Got pictures?

 

today i become owner of book Scania and its vehicles , i already have one , but you know you can never have too much of those things


on cover it is first scania cabover "buldog" truck from mid1932 4.5ton payload 90hp 6cil , model was not successful





second picture shows LBS76 from1963 , first cabover after almost 30years ,was in production for 5years after it was replaced by 0series range

 

What is that engine.
The 1835 withe a V10?
