Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

See lots of these brand new piggyback bobtails. There must be a truck factory somewhere around here.

 

If you ever hearded the term "chinese six", this is it.
Twin steer with both steers at the front and a single drive.

 

who are equipment manufacturers you have in NL

 

snowplows are very special science, i know few guys who are designing them.....after 15min of talk with them i am lost.
most of snowplows here are suitable for bad conditions.
due to our preference for robust, you will find polyurethane or rubber blades very rare and only for city as we dont care for noise and road protection.
they weight even 25-30% more than ones used in west europe.
snowplows here are build for very wet snow and mainly low speeds operation. you will find snowplows that works above 2ft of snow. attach angle is very aggressive 25degrees or even more for very agressive road cleaning, often equipped with 2 lines of blades ( second line is on hydraulics, can adjust pressure or lift them).. in west europe you will mostly find it 15degrees max 20.
than you will find either elastic plows that can adjust itself to road conditions, or very rigid ones that tear manholes from road if operator is not familiar with road....it just depends what do you want.

in west europe they mosty use belt driven saltspreaders, sometimes screw ones. we use almost always chain driven for more rugged conditions.
this kind equipment is exported mainly to russia


common setup for our conditions

 

here most of V plows are not single piece but two piece that can adjust into any shape, can reduce its total width by 30% so they are ideal for city operation.
can be used both on open roads as normal plows , V vormation to catch snow on parking etc, or A formation to move snow on sides just like any V shape plow....can adjust in ajy way..
you have plows that can tilt on side etc.....
