They are limited by law to max 56mph with a limiter fitted without it it would do about 80/90 mph. This one has a 510hp engine although Volvo now have a 700hp. These are different to US trucks because of length restrictions in Europe. Sprockaholic you are right it is from the Paccar group with 6 cylinder engine max weight here is 44 tons on 6 axles.S

Hello every one. Back home again after almost three weeks away. Been to France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Weather too warm for a poor boy from Donegal Ireland almost 40 degrees C. Was looking forward to having a blast on the CBR after three weeks at 56MPH max. but guess what weather here too fecking wet to go out hopefully next week.

I remember being passed by a "Royal Tiger" big rig back in the late 60's, in the UK, and he was doing over 100MPH.
I stopped at the next caff and he was inside having a brew.
Great rig, all black as I recall ?
Anyone else ever see one ?
Reputed to have a Rolls Royce engine ?
