Scania

Scania model range includes trucks and tractors for transportation over any distance, as well as special-purpose vehicles (firefighting, utility, defense) and for construction work.

Scania offers hundreds of truck variants ranging from 230 to 730 horsepower. Thanks to the modular system that Scania follows in its design policy, it is possible to produce cars that meet the individual needs of customers. The modular principle and, as a result, the unification of components and assemblies lead to increased functionality and performance of vehicles. A wide range of transmissions are available, from classic 4x2 to 10x4, including integral 4x4 and 8x8.

Scania trucks have become a benchmark for durability, poise and power, achieved through the widespread use of large displacement turbo diesel engines since 1972. Scania is the first manufacturer to introduce and further improve this technology on the engines of heavy-duty vehicles, thereby setting the tone in European engine building, earning its vehicles the title of “king of the roads.”

Scania 3-series / Scania 3 series

of Scania Series 3 trucks entered the market in 1987 as the successor to the 2 Series, and has been in production for 10 years. The range includes heavy trucks models 93, 113 and 143 with a gross weight of 17 to 32 tons, equipped with 6-cylinder turbodiesels with a displacement of 9, 11 and 14 liters. This generation perfectly illustrates one of the main characteristics of the Swedish automaker - innovation.

It was on the engines of Series 3 representatives that for the first time in Europe the Electronic Diesel Control (EDC) electronic fuel injection system was used, which brought Scania the first prize for Truck of the Year '89 (Truck of 1989). Next year, an innovative turbo-compound diesel engine with a record efficiency of 46%, reduced fuel consumption and 20% exhaust gas recovery will be introduced. The innovative Streamline cabin, thanks to which Scania designers managed to reduce the air resistance coefficient by 15% and fuel consumption by 4-5%, also appears for the first time in the 3 Series vehicle configuration.

These are hooded cabs that entered production in 1991. The most common type of cabin is without a hood, with two berths. It is also noteworthy that the cabins recline using a hydraulic mechanism.

In Russia, the Third Series of Scania is in significant demand and is still in active use, which is the best proof of its endurance. Undoubted performance, ease of maintenance and repair, an acceptable level of comfort are important qualities that cannot be neglected when choosing a truck. Scania 3-series is also distinguished by a variety of chassis options, allowing a wide choice of vehicles according to their intended purpose - truck tractors, utility and delivery trucks, flatbed and special vehicles.

Scania 4-series / Scania 4 Series

The fourth series or fourth generation of Scania replaces the third series in 1996 and is produced until 2004, when the PRG range appears.

A distinctive feature of Series 4 is a completely updated exterior, the work of Italian designers from the Bertone studio. From the front, the cars take on a square shape, merging further into more rounded and soft lines. At the same time, special attention is paid to the reliability of the vehicles - a rigid, durable cab frame, reinforced side and rear walls.

In the new cab design, the radiator grille is divided into two parts horizontally. The lower one is folding, which makes access to the windshield easier, and also provides additional convenience to the driver in the form of an external bench. The cars are standardly equipped with three types of cabs: Day cab (day cab), Highline (extended), Topline - the most spacious, with a high roof and two berths.

The Scania Fourth Series includes medium-tonnage and heavy trucks with a gross weight from 18 to 48 tons in more than 300 variants of 2-, 3- and 4-axle base chassis, equipped with 6-cylinder diesel engines with power from 220 to 580 hp. : DSC9 – 220-310 hp; DC11 – 24-valve, 340-380 hp; DSC12 – 360-420 hp; DSC14 V8 - 460-530 hp; DC16 V8 – up to 580 hp

Excellent performance and engine efficiency are the result of high torque at low speeds, as well as the implementation of the Opticruise transmission control system, which ensures optimal fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions. Information about the engine volume of cars of the fourth series is present in the indexing: 94, 114, 124, 144, where the last digit means that this is a car of the 4 series, and the first digits are the rounded engine volume. For example, 114 is an 11-liter 4-series engine.

The letters indicate vehicle types (chassis class): L – long-haul tractors, D – trucks for regional transport, C – vehicles for construction work, G – vehicles for heavy-duty use. The 3-digit number on the opposite corner of the front panel of Scania cars indicates the engine power in horsepower.
