What is your favorite European truck?

M.A.N from germany

 

I'd have to go 50/50 on scania or volvo - (we run Australia wide in both)
Scanias for the rumble of them R500s and 580s, and the Volvo for its comfort and the fact its an auto !

Scania even though I have never owned one.

View attachment 11672 a Scania.

 

When is the new Volvo coming out?

 

I believe that the new Volvo was just lauched in 2009,if you are talking about the FH models.Or you can check it in the www.volvotrucks.com

 

The 4 that the company brought early this year were all FH13s (not sure if 2010 or 2011 plated), 520Hp Euro4 spec.

Still love that rumble of a Scania V8 though...the Volvos are quiet, better on fuel and do the job quite well.

This is one I took across the Nullabor to Perth in February:
