Cabovers

those are Dolly, Scania sells trucks in Mexico. Since they merged with MAN they offer them there too. Too bad we don't have that selection here in the states.

 

i though scania quit selling trucks in mexico , in recent years buses become their major interest

and except that trucks those were mostly mining tippers ,

do you have idea if these Man on mexican market are from europe or from brazil?

 

I dont know Where MAN is built. That's my cousin drove his church bus to Mexico and took that picture.

 

when it comes to cabovers vs conventionals

we all know all around globe cabovers have more sales

here are results of latest scania range of conventionals called T series:

scania present them on IAA hanover in september 2004

orders are from nov/2004 , first delivery jan/2005 , at april 2005 scania say they will shut production after october

in one year scania got orders for 402 conventional trucks of T series, 11 in australia, 2 in russia rest in europe

last build was sold in nov/2007 in australia t500 (forget owner name)

and this is way it still hold their price as used truck today


those numbers , does not include 4series , build during same period , scania of europe build another 99 4 series for different markets, but about 90% for europe

and scania latin america build 651

old military scania, not really a cabover, but quite good articulation.....

 

Is it cabover? 1910 Berliet

 

Not much of a cab there P, I think I would have to call that "###-over engine" A.O.E vs, C.O.E.

 

yep, not a cab) but really idea to place driver over engine is not so new

 

I guess if you need more articulation than that you should not be going there with a truck.

As far as it not being a cab over , if they go any further it could be an Engine over Cab.
