Conventional truck
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
A conventional truck is a type of truck with its engine in front of the driver (much like in a typical car), as opposed to underneath with no nose like in a cab over engine (COE). This is the most common type of truck found in North America since the truck and trailer length regulations are not as strict as compared to many other countries. They are also popular for certain uses in South American countries and in Australia. The design gives the driver more leg room, and a smoother ride. The driver's sleeping compartment is also typically larger and more spacious than found in COE styles. Conventional design trucks are typically safer than COE models in front impacts, though newer COE truck designs have increased driver safety. These models of semi-trucks hold their re-sale value much better than the cab-over engine models in North America. Older COE trucks are still in use by some owner operators and fleets operators for nostalgic reasons. The conventional trucks manufacturers include Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack, Freightliner, Western Star, Volvo Trucks (USA), Hino, Ford, International, and Caterpillar.[citation needed]
