at same time some truck manufactuers made factory air conditions that is like battery, it collects energy from trucks cooling, you need to run it like 2h to have AC for 6-7hours.
latter they made 3rd part, AC that works on electrics use about 8-10A per hour.
from late 2015 mb offer factory AC on electric, scania offer it too since summer 2016. dont know for volvo -
I idle as much for ac as I do heat.....

Next trips will most probably be Russia, Tanzania or South Korea.Cat sdp Thanks this. -
I have webasto and a tripac gen for AC , we have had them for many years , were not the cave men you like to think we are , but company drivers don’t have these luxuries many times and idling is limited by many companies and local jurisdictions
spyder7723, Oxbow and Cat sdp Thank this. -
As far as disc brakes , give me a brake (pun intended) all the cars I’ve ever owned have had disc brakes at least on the front , and when disc brakes have wide spread availability on big trucks , I will gladly order a truck with them , until then I’ll use my perfectly available and dependable drum brakes
Oxbow Thanks this. -

I can't speak for anything else since I have no experience with them. I do know I have those fancy proximity sensors on my pickup for backup assistance and they suck. All it takes is some road grime over them and they stop working.
I look at this new stuff as just more crap to go wrong and it only serves to dumb down the skills needed to operate a vehicle. People don't even shoulder check in their cars any more because the little yellow light on the mirror says if there is a car there or not.
