ERF-Continental:
I agree…impressive but also very ‘necessary’ to think more global now! Since 1972 DAF gained quite
some data with the conventionals of International Harvester, hence the N2500 (based on the) Paystar
and I assume there is a necessity to design more conventionals. Class 8 trucks in US are roughly 90 %
conventionals and as DAF is expanding through Brasil and via Paccar also in US with their MX5-engine,
it is not only a ‘simple’ set back of the cab on a coe-version though. As far as the competition says…
Volvo has conventionals (very long with White/GMC) and actually SCANIA, VW and MAN don’t have where-
as RENAULT/MACK and IVECO are present…global strategic development/marketing?
Yes, if they are to remain ‘survivors’! Robert
