The model used in the game is what's known in the trucking industry as a Cab-Over-Engine (COE) design with a single rear axle. Since the cab is several feet shorter, these types of Semi-Tractors tend to be easier to maneuver in dense urban environments and are popular in Europe. In the U.S. they're mostly only seen on rigid (non-articulated) in-city trucks. Cab-Over-Engine Semi-Tractors are physically shorter and have a smaller turning radius, but the ride can be a real "Kidney-shaker" due to the driver being positioned directly over the front wheels. : | The model used in the game is what's known in the trucking industry as a Cab-Over-Engine (COE) design with a single rear axle.
