I see them on trucks from time to time. Some even light up. I'm guessing there's some story that goes along with them. Yes it is Michelin Bibendum.

tjc transport Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Paul, Scania stopped sending trucks to the states for sale was back in 92 because they did want to meet EPA emissions standards person CAN import one, but the cost for shipping and meeting EPA emissions standards make it not worth the cost. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Some of these V8's have modified exhausts - they sound good. They seem very popular in the tipper work for civil works because of their tight steering circle set up. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/7/#findComment-532606 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may, emissions is not the reason Scania withdrew from the US market. There were other reasons. I later worked with the people who oversaw the US market. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/7/#findComment-542014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing sounds nicer than a V8 Still miss the sound on our hyws here! the v8 and cab over population is slim here now ! We sold loads of these in the eight's ! Now a days the engine sound would be stifled anyway by the DPF ! you wouldnt be able to hear how pretty they sound anyway! 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/7/#findComment-542018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The yellow and white 143E with the Watkins (another fallen flag) placard must have been in NH. The car beside it has a NH inspection sticker on it. - l don't know if that isn't at Poor Boys at exit five off 93 -. The white 112M and 113M look to have Mass plates. .....Hippy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/7/#findComment-547273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I noticed the same thing didn’t see the New Hampshire inspection, but I did see the license tag that look like Massachusetts…. also noticed that I already made a smart ass remark about Volvo. I hate them the world needs to know.lol… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/7/#findComment-547277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
