    I am telling you Caesar once again. if its number 1, best of the best in eu does not mean it can be good for Americans. Volvo 780 is good truck for here and it can be bad for you, your market. I will not try to explain you that if you take it to eu you will like it ))))

    Ok, lets look at XF105. How is it made?

    Yep, Paccar MX engine, ZF transmission, Wabco ECAS, WABCO EBS, VDO VIC and DIP4 instrumental cluster.

    So DAF shares many parts and systems with other trucks.

    Ok, ZF transmission may be installed on ANY US truck and many EU trucks, exept of Scania, Mercedes ore Volvo and now Renault.

    Wabco ECAS is used on Iveco, MAN, Scania, Mercedes.

    Wabco EBS - Iveco, some MAN (becouse MAN generally has Knorr Bremse), Mercedes and other.

    What is really unique for DAF trucks?
