Well here is a new Ford Truck you have never heard of
It also has a 12.7 litre Diesel all Ford engine Looks like it has borrowed from a Volvo Cabover in the design. Can you guess who makes it?

I think that what may be less well known is that Ford sold a Low Cab Forward (LCF) truck for a few years but they must not have sold well:

While looking for pictures of the Ford I was very surprised to find that Chevy seems to be selling some now:

I just spent a week in Italy and Croatia and don't think that I saw any trucks over there only going 56mph.
I don't see any drawbacks to cab forward designs that you don't have in pusher motorhomes except engine noise yet those are very popular here.
That is the speed limit for Trucks in the EU. Although a Volvo Cabover set the world speed limit for a Truck. Interesting comparison US Motorhomes,like the Class A pushersdo not have the engine in the front
Volvo Trucks is claiming two new world land speed records. It's custom-built "Iron Knight" truck reportedly achieved an average speed of 131.29 km/h (81.58 mph) and a time of 13.71 seconds over 500 m (1,640 ft) and 169 km/h (105 mph) with a time of 21.29 seconds over 1,000 m (3,281 ft), both from a standing start.Aug 24, 2016
