    hpi is not problem , xpi no longer fuel is improved a lot problem might be only egr

    here before everyone would opt for 420eev or 500eev, now 440eev and plenty of v8 500 560 and some 620

    but i dont like now how scania set power ranges , 520 should exchange current 560, 580 should be instead of 620 , and there is nothing for 500 , many people wanted just v8, now entry model is too powerful also when they during this year present their new strongest , there are rumors about 780 this should be too big difference to 580

    would be interesting to see how situation on this top segment would occur i think volvo could win this time not because of 800hp but egr

    no , still too early but from what i can see , cab would be full width and mudguards would become a part of cab like on other trucks/something similar to 3series streamline
