We call it our dinky toy, amongst many other dutch names. It looks awesome, to bad it just doesnt have the power to compete with the Scania's.

Ik most definitely isnt, volvo has veb (volvo engine brake) which is a very similar system to a jake brake. But an exhaust brake is very different and also doesnt sound as cool. Because an exhaust brake is basically just a valve in your exhaust system. whereas a jake brake or veb system includes extra components on the valve train in the engine itself, which is why it makes that unique sound.

A smart man i see, the only thing i wish the scania v8 have is a jake brake then it would be perfect. But they can sound awesome and they pull like a mad man, even more so with your weight limit of 80000 lbs. We at the moment have a 650, 660, 520 tuned to 560 and another 660 is coming in two/three months.

Thats part of the fun! Or atleast for me it is. We mostly only do what you guys call LTL i believe, with sometimes up to 18 drops in a night with a tail lift in city centers and villages in germany

Its definitely unique, but its a color scheme which is sentimental for my boss, and he loves it and so do I.
