I have watched 2 of them, will check out slow cars in Sweden next😉

One truck manufacturer used to make cab-overs in the US. I think every truck driver in the '60s and '70s just wanted to drive a Peterbilt which many considered the "Cadillac" of the trucks of the day.

Where is the road featured at 9min 30 sec please. It looks amazing.

Staying out of the "which is better" debate, the one thing I'd add is delivery locations / roads. The size of the USA roads and the actual delivery locations are far different.

There is zero lane discipline in the USA! Overtaking on the right is NOT allowed in any state, but since almost everyone does it, it’s hard to enforce on just that, so police picks the drivers who also speed for example. Drivers passing on the shoulders - left and right shoulders -, passing on an exit ramp, passing on the shoulder and continuing to the next on ramp to get back into traffic, and passing over solid double white or yellow lines leads to many major accidents. While most Americans think or assume that cabover trucks are less fuel efficient, it all has mainly to do with maintenance. European roads are better maintained and not many trucks drive internationally. The USA has many over the road truck drivers, who drive all 48 lower states and often Canada and sometimes Mexico. The roads are of inferior quality and often have potholes. The long distances over bad roads leads to many instances where maintenance is required. Often that maintenance cannot be performed at the terminal of the truck company and so in this case time is double money, because if you need maintenance you can’t drive and you have to pay for the hours of service performed by third parties. The faster you’re back on the road the better, also to limit the cost you have to pay for that maintenance. Second reason to use conventional truck over cabovers, is comfort. The longer wheelbase of the conventional truck makes driving, especially long distances, more comfortable. The problem here is that American manufacturers (who are often owned by European companies) invest less in technology and advancement and so this is no longer true. My truck is a new 2024 model Freightliner Cascadia and uses more fuel per mile than any European cabover truck uses, even when I’m driving at European speed limits.

Correct. It has really become an issue in the last 20 years. Didn't used to be this way.

I will regularly "pass" on the right here in Europe on highways, vast majority of the time it's people driving slow in the left lane and I just keep my cruise control on and pass them at the speed limit. Technically illegal, yes, but as are they from being in the left lane and going slow. They should be in the right(most) lane.

The steering system of an American truck can not turn very sharp in compare to a European truck.

I suppose being shorter, more maneuverable, and allowing better visibility in front is preferable for a bus. As they have to work in the city, as opposed to trucks that usually kept out of city

Sitting on the front wheel, with as little protrusion as possible in the front, allows for better perception of the limits of the coach and less blindspots. For a semi trail it also allows for tighter turns, which is not the case for a Coach. As Coaches have a limit in the permitted length, removing the bonnet allows for more living space inside.

There is more driving comfort in a European, than in a American.

But American trucks are more dangerous and too big!

What are you hitting like an arrow when you're sitting above it?

But the truck driver are sitting way up. And the common collision is between the truck and a car.

My understanding is that flat nose trucks have to pass the same safety standards. Those standards are much stricter in the EU.

You should watch some crash tests of Euro style trucks, yes they don't have the big crumple zone up front, but that has prompted the manufacturewrs to devlop some very impressive safety systems so you are alot safer than you might think up there

@@kyleseniornot true

They don't have it anymore, Vlastuin in Holland is building the T from normal cabines.

Not anymore. They stopped the T series Scania in 2003.

You wish 😂 European truct are better logically

In France its 70 on departmental roads, in Belgium its also 60 or 70 on N ways.

probably to reduce road maintenance costs

Old English emerged from the dialects and vocabulary of Germanic peoples, Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who invaded & settled Britain in the 5th century CE after the Romans buggered off. This displaced Common Brittonic, which was the celtic language previously spoken there, and Latin. I imagine some pointy and blunt instruments were used to implement these changes. No gibberish languages have ever been spoken in the British Isles. If you want to follow the evolution of Old English to Modern English, or find out more about the Celtic languages spoken in Wales, Cornwall, Irland, Scotland & Brittany then search engines are there to help you. As an English speaker learning German, I am so very glad we got rid of masculine, feminine & neuter genders, those conjugations do my head in. The less said about the American war machine the better.
