kscarbel2 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 You're quite right in that Scania engines are superb.With sales in over 100 countries around the world, Scania trucks come in many forms to meet both varying customer needs and country-unique homologation requirements. When I look at today’s Scania heavy truck, I see a brilliant pairing of form and function that results in unrivaled performance and low cost of operation. It is Scania’s ability to meet today’s challenges with the world’s most innovative heavy truck engineering that allows customers around the globe to maintain their competitive edge in this demanding business. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq-7km5JA0gMost people today seeing a Mack MH Ultra-Liner for the first time probably wouldn’t find its aesthetics attractive. But to me, like the Scania, the Mack MH Ultra-Liner represented a stunning example of form and function. There’s no doubt in my mind that the Mack MH Ultra-Liner was the finest heavy COE ever designed by a U.S. truckmaker..

ap40rocktruck Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 being of Swedish descent, using the term "Ugly" to describe a Scania is rather insulting, A true UGLY swede is the Vulva brand. Scania is & always has been one f the best looking & best engineered heavy trucks in the world.

fullfuel01 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It was not my intention to insult anyone here. Maybe we have different taste but a Scania is not the kind of look I find attractive. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36069-8000-service-technicians-take-part-in-scania%E2%80%99s-global-service-competition/#findComment-249565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Agreed, the MH is the finest american cabover ever. For years I suffered through Freightliner, IH, Ford and the occasional KW or Pete cabover... But the Mack MH put 'em all to shame!
