Worth noting that this vehicle has a kneeling function, a mechanism they probably took straight out of their buses. Not sure what the point is in that imo. Why wait for 5 seconds for it to lower before you get out? I’m swinging out the moment the wheels stop. Great that they’re focusing on the driver - hopefully they’ll put a proper engine, gearbox and soundproofing in. Everything except Scania I’ve driven under 18t has given me earache with the engine screaming away. Ategos have an engine straight out of an Optare Solo bus ffs (or sounds like it).
And yeh with overloading, the Merc Axors I’ve all driven have a load counter on the instrument panel (or at least what looks like it), and Ivecos have a warning light for an improperly loaded load (although this usually illuminates the moment you’re empty…). For Scania, I would expect them to have a native load counter. This vehicle is built to make deliveries faster, so adding that would help a lot.
