It seems someone had a strong dislike for American truckers………
Officially names Mansfield bars after the death of Jayne Mansfield. Who happens to be the mother of Mariska Hargitay who plays the actress Olivia Benson on the TV show Law and Order.Thats just a gut feeling:

In the end of the day, your cab is your safety structure. A hood and a radiator arent much of a crumple zone. Especially when, apparently, rear underride prevention bars on the back of a trailer arent mandatory in North America...?
In Europe a 5x5" square tube is mandatory.

Diesels are not going away. They are too fuel efficient.Are they the only ones to cheat or is the EPA waiting in the correctly time to expose the other brands?
At this point I am thinking it's a tool the gov/politicians have to discredit diesels and manipulate the market
Punishing Vw pushed them into the EV heavy.
This will force the truck industry to do the same even faster
My only question is can we still have faith the remaining are above board in light of the creative work around on both sides of the pond?I am really surprised by many of the comments here. Cummins cheated. But folks here defend them when other manufacturers manage to follow the rules. Basically Cummins stole money from the other manufacturers who spent the funds to make systems that comply with the law. Cummins did not. So they cheated. They got caught and folks are defending them. What about the other folks who managed to follow the law? I don't get it.
