Could a truck like that actually be used on uk roads ? Obviously it would be a lot heavier than a standard uk truck so what could it legally carry ?

Might get a few pallets on the 5th wheel.

It could carry the same weight as anything else.
Load it well, though, as you would just need to resort to a dinky little 20 foot trailer behind it to be within length limits.

Very true, although chuck a Cummins in them and a 13/18 speed as they like to do, and they are a little different.Same way as Kenworths and Peterbilts are just DAFs
Interestingly Volvo's don't seem to have a great reputation there but the cabovers in the rest of the world do.
American manufacturing perhaps, as they make the hood trucks there?

Those Chinese axels they fit don't help, not very durable.

Volvo's survive in much tougher applications at higher weights in other parts of the world though.
US ones seem to struggle running 80,000 lbs down the interstate.
I think dealer back up could be an issue too though, doesn't seem the number of techs, trained up on them.
Don't know why they've never looked at Euro trucks, with the big cabs nowadays, they'd do a lot of jobs well.
