Scania v8 730hp

Eu is going to allow longer vehicles to accommodate better aerodynamics and crash protection, as far as I know not full conventional

 

Any reported numbers on how much longer ?

 

Seems that nothing is announced yet as my fellow citizen from Estonia says: http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/kallas/headlines/news/2013/04/lorries_en.htm

Although allowing Swedish and Finnish lengths would give a better result in environmental impact than allowing more aerodynamical trucks.

 

I have to agree, that would make more sense

Euro technology in action (sorry it's not scania) ..... Still impressive

P.S. I just got a set for my car.....

 

I have driven almost every quality tire brands (summer and winter sets) there are out there and I must admit you can`t beat Nokian when it comes to winter tires. I have them on my car too, would probably import ones if I should ever make a move to Canada. It`s not the case with summer tires. Then Michelin wins the game for me.

 

as for winter tires , my approach is it is better to buy cheaper ones and replace them more often , if you have good tire you will say for 2-3year it is ok they can still go one winter

 

Hakkapeliitta is with out a question on of the best winter tire you can buy. They are not outstanding the first year but when cheaper brands have gone hard after 2 years nokian will still preform like it was bought yesterday. + They can take some beating. Tail happy bmw with the anit systems of the first you do in the winter only to get it as wide as possible. Got an bad habit to start throwing the back around when the people in front of me are going to slow for my taste and can't overtake them. Anyway not yet manged to loose q singel stud from the tires. Hankook that was on before threw them out after only a week or two.

 

first R730 streamline here , this is 6th scania in their fleet , also they have some daf´s xf105 i think 5-6
it will also get some other aftermarket things before registration....

too bad there is no trapezoidal exhaust and low bumper(as their 3 bought in summer which have full air suspension maybe because they often use ferry)
