Cabovers

I think coe would be usefull in car carriers better visability and more space for cargo...i noticed some trucks are even without slleper ...

 

C'mon man!
I think I explained my self plenty clear about the market situation.
About the insurance issue, I don't know who's feeding you that bs. There are many things that the insurance companies are pushing for, but the long nose, short nose or no nose it's not an issue.

The 24v vs 12v is not a problem to be concerned about since there's cheaper solutions to deal with that then to re-engineer the entire truck. Besides, the 24v on the tractor is allot better then 12v system especially on cold winter start ups. 12v is half power then 24v and requires heavier cables and breakers to handle the double amperage required to offset the lower voltage. (v=power, A="speed")
1250 ccA batteries and still it bearly cranks up at 25 to 30 below with smoke coming out the cables with this 12v crappy system.
Why do you think that in Euro they switched from 12v to 24v when bigger and heavier diesels were put into trucks? They tried parallel-series swetches that never worked properly there and even here in america. The difference is that the Euro's said the hell with it and went for more power and less amps and here they went the wrong way, like always, less power and boost the amps to kip the cables hot. I remember the 60's and 70's well. I guess that's well before your time.
Devices to regulate voltage between trucks with 24v and trailers with 12v systems are not that expensive and not rocket science.
I wonder how this works in Australia and South Africa with no problems and in America it seems to be impossible??

The badge issue is only "brand recognition" protectionist tactics >>>> the American way!

 

Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's a tractor but it's long enough to mount a body on if I wanted to. It's not a back and forth thing. I'm a computer nit wit don't know how to post a picture.

Any way euro cab overs should be imported into the US. The common worker has to compete with the rest of the world. But not the multi national corporations, they suck!

 

You'd be disappointed by making a move just for that reason. Very soon they'll be emplementing the same crap over here, if not worse.
There's no shortage of regulations even here. Don't kid yourself!

 

Not for North America. Only export to, I guess, South America, maybe Brazil. 24v electrical system too. I guess people in other placess around the world won't spend their money on crap.

 

That's a very true statement !

 

No, they can't imagine a heavier load capacity for the steer axle. Even though you see them in trucks that are hauling overwaight.
Over here there's only one way of doing things, anything else "it's impossible".

 

K500 got cab installed higher 105, becouse only Paccar MX fits DAF105. K500 is ready for tall engine, like ISX

 

as I know DAF cab is used "as is", with all electrical stuff inside, so truck got 24V electrical system. No 12 v Dashboard and VIC version for US market.

 

Is that why American coes all have the front axle right at the front? Surely there wouldn't be that much extra weight on the axle to move it back a bit?
