This is similar to the one I saw minus the kelsa bar and the trailer full of logs.

Looks like a cross between a Merc and a Stralis. :open_mouth: And what’s with the wheel arch? :open_mouth:

And what’s with the wheel arch? :open_mouth:

Some sort of spray supression idea perhaps.

Looks like despite being an all new truck, they’re keeping the ‘FH’ label

Its an odd looking beast thats for sure.

Why would i do that?

Saw something similar at on the A40 at Rhaglan - seemed to have a white sheet covering the front and pulling a tanker of some description. Only caught a glimpse as we both went round the roundabout.
