Truck Shop's comment about the Scania got me thinking about the differences between the trucks we see here in the USA and Canada and those used in Europe. Here in North America the cabover has all but disappeared over the road, they seem to be used only in purpose built vocational trucks. In Europe the opposite seems to be true, there are far more cabovers than conventional style trucks.
Here in North America we commonly see twin screw and in Canada even Tri-Drive trucks while in Europe the majority have a single drive axle perhaps accompanied by a floating second axle.
Very different styles of trucks, it might be interesting to figure out why that may be. Feel free to point out other differences!
