Hi Pat, I was there last year. I totally agree with you.
However, the best truck here is and has been for a long time the Volvo, and the I Shift is superb.

Regards Paul.

That is true with it dual cluch set-up! making it the fastest gear change.
But I think the Scania’s Opticruise is better all-round. :shock:

I will leave you to decide :idea:
