A question for you truck guys... why are cabovers used in Europe but pretty much extinct here?

[jacobus]

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

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.
