On www.truckstar.nl I found this shot of the interior of the new Volvo trucks. The flat part on the dash has to be cammouflage but i think the position of the I-Shift is a real suprise. Every other manufactorer moved the gearbox functions to the steering column but in this testtruck it is still in the…… Continue Reading
