Here's some hot news from my favourite cloggie Iep van der Meer who has sent me this picture and says: " Here's the new Scania instrument cluster, with the Scania 'chicken' in colour! They say you can even upload a photo in its place. It looks very smart and functional and shows all your driving and rest hours in the display too." Mmmmmm....imagine what picture you might put in the middle? Some nubile rockette? A stern picture of the wife? A picture of Bigorryblog? Anyway don't forget to check out Iep's all-new blog on his own site which you can find on www.iepvandermeer.nl
Meanwhile, the BIG question regarding Scania's interior is when are the folks from Sodertalje finally going to drop that build-your-own bed design with those daft extra foam bits you have to slot in behind the seats? As you can see from the picture above. Biglorryblog heard some time ago that the Swedes were working on it---although probably via Beers, the main dealer in Holland which created the original Topline P-Cab before the factory got around to it...It seems strange that they've continued with a design where you have to pull out trays and then drop in extra bits of mattress---why not simply extend the cab at the back? Anyway click through here for a really 'green' Scania....
And here it is..a 'green' Euro-5 Scania. You were expecting what exactly?
I spoke too soon--I've just checked out Scania at next week's IAA Truck Show in Hannover and guess what...? They're talkign about a new bunk! I'll tell you all about it shortly on BLB
