Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

not sure, video show it is very weak on terrain, OK Poclain probably showed it worst than it is by not using momentum of vehicle and not using cross locks, but it is still pretty bad

now this would improve things, this and lift axle behind instead of tri-drive

 

i think you wont earn any money in poland....

how much is permit ? is it annually? or you have to pay for each trip?

 

now Mack is something different than other trucks in USA; i have always liked their different ideas, too bad Volvo get inside too much....

suspension above is actually Volvo's from Europe, i like Mack super low ratios in gearboxes, although this bring lot of shocks on driveline but with good driver can be great thing

some of KW, T800 trucks were working with our trucks, and they had this kind of suspension and other one with big rubber blocks and beam, and both are unusable on terrain, it was construction of highway, on hard surface

 

Couple of examples.

 

Can see where that limited flex could hold you back !

 

Want to bet Ceasar will claim with a DAF this would never happen?

 

Ok, about Eastern Europe.

yes, low rates, but if you haul from European Uniton to Caucas ore to Asia - you ern money.

Yes, it is difficult money, but good money.

 

Yes, not classical MACK cabover, but cabin in front of engine.

Good solution for urban use!

Now only Econic is popular truck of this design in Europe.

Other truck makers try to use classical cabover design.

 

Don't get excited , the DAF will help CAT out. Not the first time either.

 

Many drivers here hate cabovers with moved to front steer axle.

Examples are Argosy, K200 and Renault Magnum.

Only freightliner offer relitevally convinient steps that deploys! To climb into Renault (Mack) Magnum u have to climb like on railway locomotive.

Some drivers hold papers in teeth, some throw all stuff inside cabin!

And how many drivers got injury falling out this cabin!
