james j neiweem Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If the Euro style cabover(cabs) had straight(flat) lines over the front axle they would look so much better IMO. Cab body lines as in the Mack MH or Freightliner Argosy.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, Ford's F-MAX is a terrific looking truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 But even back in the 1980s when I first saw the MH I could see it'd spent some time in the wind tunnel- It was obvious that Mack "sweated the small stuff" in details like sealing off the gap between where the cab tilted away from the fixed bodywork so rouge air couldn't sneak through there. Compare most any Mack highway truck with it's contemporary competitors and Mack most always had the best aerodynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It would seem that the B model Mack was more aerodynamic than the R model. If the MH had wind tunnel data I would guess the later R models did also. May bee that's why the CH and Vision came about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
