Transport International Route , Im pretty sure that's what it means
Sounds heaps better in French

There was quite a few COE Macks in Europe from what I gather
I have been following a Facebook group for some years that is about the trucks and drivers running to the middle east
There is always Macks the details with on it every few days

The French govt/Renault..started pouring money into Mack from the sixties onward,ever more to stave off bankruptcy of the NYAB group,which did go broke in the 80s recession.,and the French bailed out Mack entirely.............I gather the whole Volvo/Renault /Mack thing is French and Swedish taxpayer money.....or more likely debt.

I think you maybe a couple of decades out John

What did they call the Renault trucks they tried to sell as Mack s here in the eighties......was it poodles?......................if I was only decades out,I d be lucky.

Yeah, those big ugly Euro cabbed things that seemed to wobble all over the road coming at you, must have been a horror to sit in. After Cruiseliner part two. Could get em with either Mack or Crummins engines. Just Rebadged Renault’s??

There next big flop was the Quantum comfy to drive but early models were plagued with electrical problems plus fuel tanks were to small.Even though they were B Double rated.Came out with larger tanks in later models

Well the Mack Midliner, based on the Renault G260, was known as the Poodle ... Then there was the Manager/Maxter model that were a bit bigger and came in the 90s I think ....

Vatican Macks, as far as I know, was the name for Fiat Trucks in the 70s .....
