    Mack,after 202x there will be no more flatfaced COE.
    Will become something between a aerohood and a COE.
    I have see any designs or anything so what it will look like........i have no idea.

    Mack haven't sold a COE here in Australia for (I think) 15 yrs.. & they were based on Renault Glider kits & the American Running gear..
    Since Ovlov have taken them Over, If you want a COE Buy a Ovlov want a Hood Buy a Mack..

    I would think the last Mack COE sold in NA would've been the Old Cruiseliner??
    But happy to be Corrected...

    Scania is actually most aerodinamic truck on market, they spend few years in aero tunel, altrough it is more square than before and i dont like how it looka, it is most quiet truck on market, only v8 models are louder than before, noise of engine comes from floor they did they by intention

    As far as I'm aware Chrysler casts and machines V6 engine blocks, and then the blocks are shipped to Modena (Italy) where the actual engines are build.

    The new Scania can do what any old heavy European or NA tractor can do. If you order a Scania tractor with a longer chassis, the you can bolt on a sleeper of any size. A 132 inch sleeper is not a normal size sleeper of course, when I look in Kenworth brochures, 72 inch is the maximum length standard sleeper. The 42 inch sleeper looks quite a lot like a European set up. If you would like to have a European cab with more space, then there are companies that can lengthen the whole cab, 100 inch behind the chairs is possible. A standard European sleeper cab can have a refrigerator, a freezer, a microwave etc.
