Trucking in North America vs around the world

They dont even make or use COEs in america. The long nose trucks are much better and more comfortable, also better with fuel efficiency. Occasionally you see a COE on the road, because its like a classic piece of history.

 

I know.

And the Eu COE's will not be flat anymore in the future.
@98989 knows more about that ,i think.

 

Dont they have to be flat for the length restrictions? I heard its way easier to maneuver in tight spaces with the cabover because you can see better. How long are the trailers there?

 

13meter60centimeter
When the very very short hoods will be build,lenght laws will be relaxed.

 

We get P, G & R series down here.. never heard or seen an S series

 

My son received a matchbox firetruck from his great-great-aunts today. Dang if the truck model wasn't from across the pond
Now Santa did him a little better in his eyes (he is only 2 going on three in March/close to @98989 twins?)
JD 6210R loader tractor and a 389 Pete pulling a spread. Hood opens on the Pete and he asked what kind of engine. (we talk truck and tractors a lot!!!). Told him Cummins X series. (details vague to give true model, but definitely ISX15 or newer). He said he wanted one with Cat engine. Now @daf105paccar don't be turning us in when we pull out that red motor in favor of a pre-dpf yellow one. His cows need their round balls and he doesn't have time for downtime in his farming operation. I have had a couple service calls on that new Deere already because of over extended rams on the loader lift cylinders! Need to fire up the hot glue gun for a more permanent repair.

 

Next Gen has S.

 

Flat floor S.

 

It is made to look like the fire engines off Canberra.
Why are Canberra's fire engines yellow instead of red like other states?
