Mercedes is to present a new variant of the AXOR and the ATEGO. The Axor which was introduced to the market two years ago with only a tractor version (for sei-trailers) comes this year with a rigid version enabling it to be hanged to a trailer.

Scania is to show its Longliner which is already in service. The cabin of this Scania variant has left nothing to a 3 stars room !!! Too much in my point of view !!!

I equipped mine as follows:

Thought about upgrading to a 19" with surround sound, but left the job before I had a chance.

I went to the IAA in Frankfurt last year and it was great. I went there by high-speed ICE train from Munich and the day was just perfect. It was however an exhibition for passenger cars. Anyone here going to the Motor Show in Paris?
