Exactly the point I've been making for years. The cab-over-engine layout was forced on the HGV industry by regulation, there's no reason why cab-forward couldn't be forced on them too.
It becomes even simpler if we look to a future where electricity replaces gears and shafts as the transmission system of choice.
