Very impressive!  Looks like the clowns in Dearborn were kept far away from it.

I assume it's fully emissions compliant for all of Europe.

 

And the 600kW hydraulic retarder is the icing on the cake.

They appear to be a impressive well optioned truck

Air ride front axle and yet Kenworth still only offer springs in their front end on COE K220

Air ride front axles have been standard on interstate buses since the late 70's early 80's in Australia 

It would probably sell well out here

Have seen a couple of them here in Ireland but none Irish owned yet.Dont know if this is true but I'v been told they are not availible in right hand drive.They do look good....

They still look like they are going to fall on their face from a side view due to that downward angle on the side skirts. All the European COE's are like this. .The Us COE's had a strait line over the front axle or a curved area over the front wheel. Much nicer in my opinion.

The F-MAX looks absolutely brilliant to me. A cutting edge truck. I'm extremely proud of Ford and partner Otosan. They've enthusiastically pushed and made it all happen.......a lot of hard work......with Bill Ford's unwavering support.

Have to agree,American cabovers just look perfect.Love the square lines and the paint jobs.Europian trucks just look "soft" for want of a better word...The last euro truck that looked good was the Scamell Cruisader or the Bedford TM...both beautiful...Heres a TM.....
