🏗️ Design and use
The Commodore U-series featured a cab-over-engine (COE) design, with the cab positioned directly above the engine. This offered advantages in terms of visibility and maneuverability. The trucks were mainly used for heavy transport and were equipped with an undermounted engine, which contributed to a lower center of gravity and improved stability.
