Comments like this are so ridiculous. Do you really think nothing ever gets build in Europe because people use vans and buses instead of emotional support vehicles?
Canada is just another country, not fucking Mars
Didn’t you get the memo, Canada is often colder than the martian equator. 95 percent of the canadian population lives in greater toronto, the lower mainland of BC, and a couple other cities. The other 4 million people live in an area almost as big as russia.
Vehicles like this one are fairly common in the Alberta oil industry areas, and while they are overbuilt, they’re driving on roads that are worse than the ones through the old Bundeswehr training areas around Munster…if you took a Volkswagen transporter to a job site there, first you’d rip off the exhaust system, quickly followed by snagging the suspension components on something.
Here’s a picture taken of an oilfield truck from Montana. (Sorry for the r link.)
Hey dipshit there are only 4 places in the world that have oil sands. Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Venezuela. So ther is no need for shit like this in Europe. Also the natural resource exploration pales in comparison to the rest of the world. Because Europe imports most of their natural resources from places that use “emotional support veichles”. Also in europe, more often then not your job site isn’t going to be 500km+ away from your origin. I’ve been in a many vans, fuck if I’m going to sit in a cramped ass tin can for 8hrs listening to road noise on an uncomfortable ass captains chair. When I can just sit in my lazy boy recliner in a quiet cab where I don’t have to yell to talk to guy beside me.
Okay, I don’t want to get into the entire thing why exploiting oil sands is clearly not a necessity and maybe a pretty terrible idea. I agree Europe imports way too many fossil fuels. But switching to alternatives with less reliance on others is clearly a more sustainable strategy.
Oh I agree there. Fuck the oil sands, garbage low quality oil that takes a massive toll on the environment, a low quality oil incomparison to other types. Cost way to much to extract. And costs way to much to refine. Hell i think there is only like one refinery in the states that even has the ability to refine that garbage. If gasoline sold for 1.10 per L or less, there would be no profits.

Thanks for the informative comment. The linked photo looks like a much smaller truck than by OP. It would still be ridiculous on asphalt.
