from ever vehicle that is used for commercial traffic since the beginning of the 2010s from Mercedes, the Actros headlights even resemble the ones on cars

Yeah, i saw one Metris when going home. I was like, that's the New Actros grill :lol:
I mean, it's not the first time i see a Metris, but never thought about the grill like that.

They use their design language for many vehicles. Like the 2nd generation Sprinter, who also has a pretty similar dash and computer, not just a grill.

Bruno sacco used to call it Horizontal homogeneity when he was designing the late 80s/early 90s mercedes,

suppose its something which remains somewhat in their design DNA now

Most of the the drivetrain components of the Renault Premium and Kerax DXI and Last gen Magnum are shared with the old FH, axels are from Volvo, drive shaft is from volvo, battery box, fuel tanks...
For the Range T, it's the same even the chassis is the same as in FH4 except for the cab. In fact when I used to work at Renault's dealership nost spare parts come in Volvo branded boxes.

My understanding is that these countries tend to have the tax "baked into" the displayed price, as opposed to America where it's separated in an effort to make products look less expensive.

I could be mistaken, though.

You’re not, Europe handles it that way. At least where the Euro is used. In fact, I personally don’t know of another country that handles it the way the US does. Also, isn’t the reason that different US states have different sales taxes and prices are given without them for better comparison?
