Trucking in North America vs around the world

Did Ford steal the designer from Volvo?
Has a lot off Volvo in it???
Do you know price?

 

62000 for me.

Before making it, they bought 5 trucks (Scania, Man, Volvo, Daf, MB), and tried to take what's best of each truck. They don't even deny it.

It's better made than Volvo, drivers better than Daf, nice engine, ZF gearbox, very simply frame, lots of things come standard (metallic paint, leather steering wheel). Warranty is for 3 years, cann be extended to 5. No km limit. Service in west europe is made by TIP (the one from trailers).

 

Ford engine?
Or you see Cummins signature in it?

 

Ford Engine developed in Turkey. I think it is a development from the FPT cursor 13 they used to use in their previous generation trucks.

 

Ford stealing intellectual property.......?

 

It's not stealing, more like let's not invent wheel once again, just see how others did it, and make our own version.

 

Correct, whole frame is really from older Ford Cargo.
Only gerabox is newest ZF (like in daf) with Ford software.
btw. Engine is 13 liter, needs 50 liters of oil, service interval is 150,000 km.

 

So cheaper then some pickups here .

 

The motor is reminiscent of the venerable Series 60, In my Mind at least..

 

Rolling mortgage that you replace every 3 years because they're junk lol.
