You see them in films, in music videos - and of course live on the streets in the USA: huge trucks, significantly larger and longer than those in Europe. And another design element is characteristic of the trucks in the US: the long hood in front of the driver's cab. Why do US trucks have a “snout” - and European ones don’t?
A film by Matthias Schwarzer.
