Volvo's new cab

Gaz:
Tell you what, if you pull into VOSA with a Bull nose anything or a Longline Scania with a 45 foot anything they will have you…

HOWEVER… i’d happily run that on a 45’ because even though it is bigger, it’s not in your face HUGE… I bet they would never even notice, and close coupled i bet it falls within anyway.

Nice truck!

I was thinking that too, it’s not obvious that it any bigger really. How much difference does it make inside?

I saw Simon Gibson’s XXL today for the first time, pulling out of Glew’s Garage at J36 in Goole after a visit to the forecourt.

Looked amazing - I did a double take as I waited at the junction opposite. Noticeably bigger to the naked eye, even in white and on the move.

Will try to get a pic of it at some point soon if nobody else does first!

will be a shame he doesnt leave it alone after painting the chassis, the blue stripes and squares etc spoil it imo,
and i bet i am in the minority saying that. his motors dont do it for me.

Roger Breaker:
Cheers for that Sniffy, yeah should be very nice! I think they’ve been missing rather a big trick tbh not offering that can over here. I would say they’d be lapped-up by several on bulk and tanks, and with a shopping-trolley midlift and alloys I can’t see how they’d weigh much more than a standard 6x2. Maybe there’s one in the pipeline for the new cab.

I agree :sunglasses:

Are we honestly saying that Volvo in the two pictures above is the one that’s masked up??

Nope…

…not the ‘new’ cab, but the Aussie spec XXL as you say.

Indeed, but it’s pointless since you won’t see me in one…

New Actros is coming out soon aswell.

So is this an all new FH, a replacement of the FH (as in new name and models) or aswell as the FH?

From the pics it looks like they’ve finally god rid of the daft sloping screen
