Harry P. Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 A question for you truck guys... why are cabovers used in Europe but pretty much extinct here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobus Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 harry , thats easy to say , we have here not a enough space for conventionals and the roads are not so wide as in the usa and also lenght regulations by law , thats in almost every country in europe different and also weight of the total trucks is a point i hope that i make it a little bit clear at that point a friend of my has once owned a kenworth w type , but he has Always problems on factory,s to enter and also on the plant so at last he drive,s between the two countrys and drop it and another unload the tanktrailer now he has a Volvo fh16 for that work , now i buy him with my brains and not with my hart he said jacobus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It has to do with the very strict overall length laws in Europe as opposed to the US & Canada. Once the length laws changed here in the US, cab-overs just about went extinct. You can still find them, but they are few & far between. Wal-Mart is supposed to be experimenting with a Freightliner Argosy & a 60ft trailer combination; but I think that's mostly out West.
