A Scania T series (not this exact one)

Kinja'd!!!

Can’t recall ever seeing a Scania with a sticky out front before. They were dropped in 2005 due to lack of interest (they can’t tow a standard 13.6 m trailer in many markets).

Weird, and uneconomic. They used to sell them in South America but the market went away.

That’s because the frames are the same as on their cabover counterparts, but with the cab moved backwards and a different bonnet. Or maybe its due to the full-width front end as opposed to the classic separate fender style. A different european conventional for reference:

At my workplace there is one. A very late T500 with 2011+ Headlights.

They also extend the wheelbase as there isn’t room to move the cab back with the standard length.

Compare:

the cab on the lower truck isn’t going anywhere.

These are great through. Probably the easiest semi-trucks to drive EVER!
