Why do trucks in China have flat heads and those in the United States have long noses?

Truck is a very important means of transportation. In many movies, we can see that American trucks are generally in the shape of long noses, while domestic trucks are generally in the shape of flat heads. Why is there such a difference? I think there are several reasons.

First, domestic policies are different. There are certain requirements for the length of freight cars in China. Generally the length is measured from front to back. In America, the length is measured directly from the container, and the length of the front is not calculated. Everyone knows that the longer the front of the car, the bigger the contents, which can be said to be more comfortable for drivers who need to drive for a long time. Therefore, in order to increase the container length and improve transportation efficiency, domestic trucks choose flat-headed trucks with shorter length, while the United States chooses more comfortable long-nosed trucks.

Second, the roads are different. The terrain in China is more complicated. Mountains and hills are slopes with relatively large curvature. If you use a truck with a long nose, it is easy to turn normally because the container is too long, which will affect the transportation efficiency. Flat-headed trucks just solve this problem, because there are strict requirements on the length of carriages, so it is better to deal with corners. The terrain of the United States is dominated by plains and deserts, and the roads are mainly long and do not turn, so long-nosed trucks are more suitable. Moreover, the population density in the United States is low, and vehicles are rarely seen on highways, which virtually increases the use of long-nosed trucks.

Third, my opinion I think what kind of truck to use mainly depends on the national conditions and road conditions, but no matter what kind of truck to use, drivers should remember that safety comes first. As the saying goes, there are thousands of roads, and safety comes first. Especially when driving this heavy truck, once an accident happens, it will easily lead to a very serious situation. In addition, when you see such a truck on the road, you must stay away or let it go first to avoid accidents.
