How come cab over trucks or European trucks manage to have a good weight balance despite having a big cab at the front?

Question

Im thinking Scania and Volvo trucks have this massive cab in the front but just wheels at the back, how can this be a possible weight balance? How come the front doesnt just tip over? How much does the cab actually weigh? Also its possible to tip the entire cab forwards revealing the engine beneath it and it still wont tip over. I rly dont understand how this is possible.

Answer 1

The cab is light enough that 2 people can flip it to gain access to the engine. The design allows the trucks to be more maneuverable on narrow European roads and have the weight of the engine and drive-train between the front and rear axles which improves weight distribution.
