With the length regs in the UK this long cab can only be hooked to a short heavy trailer such as a Bulk Tipper trailer or a heavy liquid tank. Either of those or used in Heavy Haulage, which makes no difference anyway
Not confused we have small bunk trks too. Are bunks start at 36in and go over 120in. 120in sleepers are basically a camper van on the back of the truck. Wheel base on a truck like that is over 300in. Our standard over the road truck is 70in sleepers and 236in wheelbase.
@@johna6968 Come paired to my truck in the USA that cab is small. That a bed behind the seat. I have a curtain then two cabinets one on each side of the of the trk. I take 2 1/2 steps from drivers seat to my bed. USA doesn't have a cabover market anymore all our trks are big conventionals. Last cabover trks made for USA was a Freightliner Argosy 2006 but they did bring it back to North America market as a glider kit in 2014.
All I was getting at is I wasn't confused. I'm a cabover lover I was thinking about time you guys got a bigger cab. But I also understand that your guys's laws are stricter than ours it's why you don't have any big conventional Amber streets are smaller.
@@waldosworld1318 It is about time as you say we made drivers living areas more comfortable in the UK. Maybe when we eventually leave the EU it could become a reality. Im not holding my breath on either count.
You call that big cab ? 😄😁😅 Looks like day cab in North America 😄 Hwy Volvo VNL 860 Big Sleeper for long Haul 😎See the Volvo that is made in North America! This is called a large cabin with a large refrigerator and a large table! 😊
but 'murican trucks are outdated as hell, they still have drum brakes, seats are ucomfortable, no technology involved (or nowdays you joined to modern world who knows), european trucks are way more advanced in comfort and technology. But yea, cabs are smaller. Not to mention your idiot company attitude that they put a camera that records you 24/7 and sensor that tracks your head movement so you can't even look away lol madness
@2:45. The last time a law like that was in force in Europe, we ended up with this: archive.commercialmotor.com/article/20th-october-1988/52/-the-amsterdam-show-earlier-this-year-saw-the-debu ...which needed another law, to prevent it! The only solution- if cab space is indeed a problem- is to relax the overall length limit by, say 500mm, and keep the trailer length limit the way it is.
This is my opinion exactly, it’s no good extending the overall length and giving the industry the choice where to spend the length, we all know where it’s going if it’s left to the bosses who don’t sleep in the cab to decide…
XXL por donde , no veo el espacio q se requiere para un camion q recorre largas distancias , bueno segun las medidas q requiren en Europa esta bien pero en otros paises como latinoamérica , USA , Nueva Selanda etc , el cabesal no va pegado al remolque , mejoren el espacio construyendo la cabina mas hacia atras
Circumstances dictate tactics. Virtually of all of Europe has far older cities and streets, and many of their highways likewise. Some are in essence developed over old Roman cart tracks and pretty much the same size. That has a real impact on what one can do with OAL, speed, etc. The U.S. generally has larger, more spread out areas, so a 75' OAL (or more) is not that big a deal. When I drove, it was mostly in the midwest and northeast; even there, the differences are quite a lot. The older cities of the east are much more cramped and my 72' OAL using a 48' trailer could be a royal pain to get around in some areas. I could not stand this tiny cab, though - what is considered large there is basically a low cost company truck piece of crap, here.
Well listen Me, that for first I don't speak English very very well. So listen Me isn't important to have 25 cm of space more in the pank. Important it's that who build the truck understand that We driver don't need 2 full sit. I drive Mercedes Actors. We got the ""solo star concert"" This is the future of truck drivel life.
Yellow looks good on it .

It should be their standard cab
Listen closely what he says, here in the eu, max lenght is 16.50 meter, a cooler or any normal boxtrailer is not gonna fit behind the xxl
@@johanhummer9 I know well, the point is it’s wrong
I can imagine the american viewers look of confusion at that small cab

@@waldosworld1318 Yes confused. This isnt a small bunk as you say, but a huge one.

Well my Freightliner cascadia in the USA my sleeper is 177.8. cm that's a hotel for you guys. But I'm also in my truck for 10-14 days.
We got some poor Guys in Europa who have to drive 30 days and dont get really much Money
Plenty of drivers who do Continental for 3-4 weeks at a time in these trucks. Plenty of room and comfort.
Do you really need a big cab? This is a trick question? Of course. You stuck on the road 3-4 week
In the uk generally 1 week tramping
In Vietnam you can find much more American trucks on road than European, so I don't know why trucks in Europe needs to be so small

@@johnnyhun1Annoyingly, VNL still does not have the D16 option.
yes we do need bigger cabs for drivers
All this bull about length in the uk . Gov Still stuck in rhe 1970s.

Tipper wouldn’t buy one of them because they run of weights and that will be heavier
VOLVO есть VOLVO. Красавцы.💯🔥👍.
Would be great if someday volvo longtrotter comes a new standard.
Just a normal bed for a daf xf
And it went back to Volvo HQ thought immingham last week.

Wondering what is the total cost of the truck. The Volvo VNL 860 run around $160-170,000 here in the US.
Same goes for the one in the video.. In Euro's. So around 200.000USD
It's about $480,000 Aud
Yeah.. pfft.. 10inch.. compare that to the longthrotter custom..
Nice. And a hell of a lot better than anything scania can produce.
What a heap of muck so you wouldn't be able to pull a fridge or euroliner , what's the point

Just gonna say this, if that limit comes in everyone will get a longer trailer for more cargo space
That is definitely the risk Samuel, but the aerodynamic requirements expected might still work in favour of driver comfort.
As a truck driver yes you do need a big cab because you get a big room to rest in
Not every truck driver needs a big cab.
M. Tay it depends which truck your using
It’s for Australia…
The bed should be at list a metre not 77cm. There is no lo've there.
The bed is big enough, it's the rest of the cab that's too small, not to mention all of the useless storage pockets either side of the bed
Go big or go home
The cab of the FH is too small.
Then look for a DAF
it is bloody disgraceful Volvo believes their standard sleeper berth is acceptable for a bloke who is 6’2.
What a dump question in the headline... If you would have the choice, for sure you take the bigge cab
20,000 Gbp for extra 10inch ???..... that's wonderful ......very economical choice....
Why not take off those big ugly side fairings and make the cab that size instead ???
Can't understand one fucking word of this British English -_-
