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."

Ook moet de belastingdienst aangepakt worden want de laatste tijd worden daar heel veel fouten gemaakt en is deze niet meer betrouwbaar voor de burger. Daarom is deze petitie ook voor de belastingdienst. Leuker kunnen we het niet maken maar zeker ook niet makkelijker..
