    me too....

    however i believe vw will destroy scania even more, they put car way of thinking into truck industry.
    while looking at vw their future strategy announced 3 years ago. it is very clear that they would destroy scania in therms of quality and its heritage.

    Isn't easy is an understatement. Its impractical and impossible. Same with most of the lower 48. Public transportation is only practical in large cities. And even then its financially dependent on government dollars

    Vanhool.
    Made to order,not off the shelf like most.
    Outside it looks like a regular 30 foot.
    Was the first Vanhool with ECAS.
    Steeraxle.
    Air actuated shocks.
    Tmps.

    For those that do not know ECAS,it is a fully electronic airsuspension.
    Controlled with the CAN.
    Has to many features to list.
    All controlled from the cab.:)
