Eaton transmissions and the future..

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Volkswagen Truck and bus motors and transmissions. VW recently pumped a lot of capital into International and I think that stake will increase over time, resulting in technology from VW coming to the US. If you want, you can send me a PM.

 

I've seen VW constellation truck on truck exebitiob only

this is really simplified MAN Truck, and it does not meet US and EU standsrds.

It is very simple and cheap, they use MAN ore Cummins engines w/o DEF, and ZF ore Eaton manual transmission.

VW shares cabins with TGA (early models witj F2000), but bumpers, grills are made cheaper with four 7 inch lamps

 

MAN, Navistar, MWM, International, VW are all in one groupe.

 

VW now has it's own gearboxes and engines.
Developed from Scania and MAN research.

 

Scania used to cooperate with VW for many years.....

This is globalisation
