We see trucks everyday, but do you know that you can actually differentiate between a truck built for the American market and that built for Europe?  Yes, you can even without knowing about Trucks. The difference is in the design of THE CABIN. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/fa/20/2ffa209bb0eef61f8e172f18dafd1e6e.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Volvo_FH_stand_Volvo_Truckstarfestival_Assen_%289408932678%29_%282%29.jpg/640px-Volvo_FH_stand_Volvo_Truckstarfestival_Assen_%289408932678%29_%282%29.jpg The two pictures above shows the same carmaker (Volvo) with two different designs of trucks. The first picture shows a truck that is made for the American market, and the other shows a truck made for the European market. In the American made designs, the Cabin is behind the engine In the European designs, the Cabin is on top of the engine 165 Likes 10 Shares |

They come with beds (two, in some cases), air conditioning, TV and the current models also come with microwaves too.. Also, in the event of an accident, the engine is first impacted before it gets to the cabin. So, the driver is likely to be protected. They are very easy to fall in love with sha 169 Likes 11 Shares |

One advantage i like about them is that they are easier to park unlike the Americans...Lagos can be congested, and the smaller the head, the better I also don't like them because it doesn't give much free space to work on the engine  .. Very annoyingAlso, in the case of an accident, the driver can be very much affected Okay...At least, we can differentiate between both if we see them Bye everyone.. 262 Likes 16 Shares |

With standard to accommodate their lifestyle and their road designs..... In Nigeria, we drive anything..Whether our roads allow or fits in with the built.... You'll see where someone will be at the back of the truck to be lifting cable wires to enable easy passage.... 51 Likes 2 Shares |

I guess it is because Americans love big cars, so they made the truck bigger too 18 Likes 1 Share |

The most obvious difference is where the engine is. This is due to length regulations. In the US the length of the trailer is regulated, whereas in Europe the length of the entire vehicle is regulated. Bad machines on fleek..... We are going for some SCANIA soon........ 14 Likes 6 Shares

There is also a very pertinent reason why American trucks are designed like they are. Because of how expansive America is. Texas alone is practically the geographic size of Nigeria. It probably takes close to 11 hours of truck driving to move from one end of Texas to another. In that same time period, you will probably transverse several countries in Europe! Now imagine that truck having to deliver goods across America. The driver has to spend most of his time living in the truck! 349 Likes 18 Shares |
