The front looks more like a Scania - but this thing could have LED headlights…on the first pics it definitely has LED dayrunning lights.
Spy shots of the new Euro-6 Actros from the Biglorryblog Blue AdBlue cap shown on the rear of the tank. Probably running a Detroit Diesel HDEP engine. Scoop shots of the new Euro-6 Mercedes Actros from Ferdy... - Biglorryblog
Looks super aerodynamic. Don't understand why Euro likes this top heavy, flat faced trucks. Looks absolutely inneficient and retarded. Can that thing clear a speed bump. And what's up with the cab looking like its going to tip open in some of those pictures?
In the US we like things big... SUVs trucks... In Europe the need things small... micro cars When space is limited you need to sit on the engine.
They are going to show some American trucks at the upcoming motor show for commercial vehicles in Hannover (IAA 2010), so truckers there have something to dream about. http://www.auto-reporter.net/1843/2_1843_104_40492_1.php
Actually, it's all about efficiency. The maximum lenght of a semi in most European countries is 16.5 meters (~54 ft), from bumper to bumper. Why waste precious cargo capacity to accommodate the engine?
Looks very modern Whether your interested in trucks or not - FACT is, that these big haulers has absolutely astonishing technology. Hindsight is that no automobile in production has the tech of these trucks
