Another MASTERPIECE! No other way to describe it better!
Great attention to details! I’m actually a truck driver and I could see
myself driving this gem...Of course the lego version.
My truck has only 425HP with a
13 gears tranny for 50T GW... Painfull on NewFoundland’s hills...

This prototype, if I read the info right, has like half that HP... Denmark is
not completely flat by any means, either. Lots of gear jamming there I bet.
One thing that I didn’t comment on before is the rather (to my view) bizarre
axle arrangement. Most US trucks have one steered axle and if they are 3 axles,
2 powered or one powered and one idler. The thought of having 2 out of 3 axles
steered and only one powered is strange. It seems to not be needed for US road
clearances where wide turning circles are possible.
Is this a common european arrangement, to have two steered axles? Why even HAVE
3 axles? For weight per axle limits?

| (...) The weight limits vary greatly, EU standard is 40 tons I think, and I beleive Switzerland (not in EU) has 28 tons, but this is what most trucks look like here in Sweden: (URL) 25,25 meters long (82,8 feet) and 60+ metric tons (138000 lbs) (...)
