Scania Cabover

Scania R620 V8 Longline ext

So owner-operators and other truckers sometimes get curious about how things are going on the other continents, so lets take a look at Scania trucks over in Europe for a white. This one’s a Scania cabover R620 v8 Longline STH.

It started to get attention a couple of years ago at the Truckstar festival, it seems. This truck is referred to as “Black Amber” by its owner, Patrick Vandenbulcke (that’s the English way, but they also spell it Patrick van den Bulcke-Borde), whose name is emblazoned on the side of the cabover cab.
