Cabovers

here now in trucks it is very popular choice of euro6 ( slightly above epa10 ) with scr only , it have xpi , fixed turbo , scr dpf and doc ,

they offer 320 360 370 410 450 hp , iveco offer all engines without egr

 

BUT their V8 is useless in EURO6 version.
There are several running here and not 1 off their owners is happy.

 

thinking about the freightliner argosy...looks real nice and have been reading up on them

 

Really EU cabovers are made better, but Argosy cabin is lightweight, difference is about 40%, and freightliner says it meets EU cab safety standards

 

If we talk about euro6 I don't know a single engine that has taken the market with storm. I know a few e6 520v8 that are runing. Apart from bad oilrings on a few and abit higher consumption than e5 which was to be expected they seem to work fine.

 

new actros dimler running in Oregon and Portland garbage truck. if they dont plan to sell them here why are they teasing me?

 

second one is Econic. it is not classical cabover, it is cab in front of engine. very low entrance

Now I live in Kiev, they use the same econic garbage trucks, really cab of econic is front end of bus

 

more euro trucks in north America

 

The first 3 pics are off a CF85 Daf which i was told was at MATS.(it has a 11 liter engine,not the 13l MX)
Unless they sold it,the latest rumour was that it is in a showroom at KW.
The Mercedes is one that has been used in testing for a few years now.
Runs somewhere in the Washington state area.

 

Today I saw one more econic, trucktor hauling jet fuel tank. Used on airfield.

Daimer say they made Econic cabin for frequent stop and go and enter-exit operations. it is really step trucktor, one step and u r at steering wheel.
