Banned in California for emissions reasons, but those reasons are now redundant.

Originally it was the poor aerodynamics which caused slightly less fuel economy. However in Europe all they use is Cab overs due to length restrictions in cities and highways. As a result they have adapted the cab over design and improved emissions/fuel economy to the point that they match USA trucks.

The K100 was Kenworths most aerodynamic truck until the T600 debuted in 1985.
