Now we've moved onto commercial vehicles, this could get right out of hand.

For starters there's the whole range of Nissan/Renault & Vauxhall vans with the only difference being the engines in the Vauxhall/Opels.

Then when we go up a size, you'll find that a lot of 7.5t & over share cab bodies. Our Volvo FEs & FHs have the same cabs as the Renault Midlums (albeit in different scales) & these are also very similar to the DAF 45s & 55s.

The old Seddon Atkinson Strato shared cabs with the old DAF 95 (now XF) in artic form & with the Iveco Cargo in rigid.

Someone once told me that there's a specific cab building company which supplies a lot of truck manufacturers.
