164 580 was presented in late may of 2000, production started latter that year. so it was not available in 1997. it could be maybe modified truck with 580 engine. in 1997 there was still old generation of 4series

it is really funny to see this thread. US and EU trucks share engine technologies and engines! and so belive me, no notisable difference in milage.

Yep, the drifference #1 that EU lenth limits were not canseled like in US so EU drivers have to drive short cabovers. But EU cabin is MUCH MORE SILENT and much smoother.

In Europe trailers are with 3 axes so 4x2 trucktors are popular. In UK 6x2 and 6x4.

yeah, EU trucks are more complex with modern electronic features like ECAS, EBS and disk brakes in standard. In the USA all these toys are optional, but as I know from 2012 EBS and disk brakes will be standard in the USA.

Fortunatly no electronic logbooks in the USA, like tachographs in Europe.

Anyway EU truck vs US truck is like EU standards vs US standard.

I'm not only one here who used to drive European trucks and US trucks. I towed US trailers with European trucktors, I operated US trucktors with European trailers and I did some US to EU conversions (not emission only). So it is really funny how do you try to compare trucks.

no it is in bar scania use hpi from end of 2000. in 124 470 latter 124 440 and 124 420 hpi after that in p/g/rt 420 euro 3/4/5 and eev in r/t 470 in g/r 440(for brazilian market) in r/t 470 euro 4 in r480 euro 4

so that pressure is not something unusual anymore....

xpi is at 2700bar

here is how they build xpi
[ame]

pablo did your friend notice some problems with bad fuel and xpi, scania recommends to its customers if they need to travel in russia that is best to fill up fuel here

scania engineer told me that they had some problems with bad fuel on first xpi truck here ( that was scania demo truck)

so latter scania give their customers paper with text that in case that you use bad quality fuel you lost guarantee and you must sign it
