• Adding 1.3m to the length of a Topline R Series sleeper cab could create the kind of truck that will stop HGV drivers from leaving the industry—if EU legislators allow longer artics. That's the idea behind Scania's eXc "ultimate sleeper cab". When coupled up to a standard 13.6m curtainsider the eXc rig measures around 17.8m, but the extra space inside for the driver is phenomenal.
Next week well publish an exclusive driving impression and `sleepover. And we believe that if the EU is prepared to increase artic lengths from the current 16.5m to 18m this will be the sleeper cab of the future.
According to Scania, Brussels officials showed a close interest in eXc at the recent Hanover Truck Show—and several operators who saw it at Hanover have already expressed an interest in buying one.
• For a full report on the eXc don't miss next week's CM.
