ChatGPT: "The main reason why you don't see trucks with a "nose" design, like Kenworth (jpeg) and Peterbilt (jpeg) trucks commonly found in North America, in Europe is due to regulations and safety standards.
In Europe, there are strict regulations regarding vehicle dimensions, specifically the length of the vehicle and the turning radius. The overall length of the truck and trailer combination is limited to ensure maneuverability on European roads, which tend to have narrower streets and tighter turns compared to many roads in North America. The cab-over-engine (COE) design, where the cabin is positioned directly above the engine, allows for a shorter overall length of the truck, making it more suitable for European road conditions.
Additionally, safety standards in Europe prioritize pedestrian safety. The cab-over-engine design provides better visibility for the driver, reducing blind spots and improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The shorter front end also reduces the risk of severe injuries in case of a collision.
Furthermore, European truck manufacturers have traditionally focused on cab-over-engine designs, as they are more fuel-efficient and offer better aerodynamics. These designs are better suited for long-haul transportation, which is common in Europe.
It's important to note that there are exceptions to this generalization, and you may still see some trucks with a "nose" design in specific industries or applications in Europe. However, the prevalence of cab-over-engine trucks is much higher in the European market due to the reasons mentioned above."
Vandaag per e-mail de petitie aangeboden aan Henk Nijboer, lid tweede kamer voor de PvdA en woordvoerder financiën. Alle ondertekenaars dank voor de ondertekening. Lee Tonnaer .
Er kan natuurlijk maar één juiste stemkeuze zijn en dat is stemmen tegen het wetsvoorstel. Ook als Eerste Kamerlid is dit de enige juiste keuze.
Deze wet klopt niet! https://www.rtvnoord.nl/nieuws/199662/Hans-Engels-moet-zelf-afweging-maken
Jawel, we zijn live met de petitie en je kan nu ondertekenen. Na tekenen natuurlijk graag delen..
Waarschijnlijk wordt er op 8 november 2018 door de gemeenteraad een besluit genomen over Real-X. Ook dan hebben we jullie steun hard nodig.
Derhalve hebben we de einddatum van de petitie naar 8 november verzet. Zo krijgen meer mensen de kans om te tekenen voor het behoud van Real-X.
