HGV's (trucks) and PCV's (buses)Are restricted to 62.5mph - ie 100KPH, to comply with European regulations - in the UK.
The restrictor is a governor on the drive train and they are notoriously difficult to calibrate.
I'm a part time bus-driver. We have a DAF that won't get above 57MPH, and a Scania that gets to 68 before the governor bites.
As a part timer, I very rarely get the Scania....
