The construction boom in Moscow and other large cities has given rise to a previously unprecedented phenomenon: construction dump trucks of well-known Western brands are selling like pie at dealers. And the most “delicious” are Scania dump trucks. This manufacturer is now the leader in the number of new trucks sold. To keep up with life, we took a Scania P 380CB 6×4 EHZ dump truck for testing.

Design

The car design is unique. The new changes have a positive effect on aerodynamics. Plus, the turbodiesel has been updated, due to this, fuel consumption has decreased to 5%, comparing the previous model. The car has a cabin with smooth lines and no protruding parts. These changes make the car recognizable on the roads.

The 2022 Scania P380 model will go on sale without a sun visor. The car received spoilers of a new shape; their height can be adjusted independently.

On the radar grille, under the windshield, there are high-beam headlights. The radar grille has enlarged holes, which improves the engine cooling effect.

The head optics have also undergone adjustments. Now it has LED parts. Plus, optics can only be used on a specific machine, this protects against theft. The VIN code is a unique link that cannot be bypassed.

Cabin interior

The cabin is made of high-quality steel, there is no hood arrangement. The salon is designed for two people. It contains a computer with an interface in Russian and a one-day tachograph. The computer transmits sensor data to the driver. In principle, the car control panel is accessible and convenient to use.

The operator's seat is ergonomic. It can operate in 10 modes. The seat is mounted on air suspension. The driver of the Scania P380, if necessary, can activate the seat heating, adjusting the heating system if desired. The passenger seat can be unfolded or folded at any time.

The cabin is made according to all standards, its design has many positive aspects:

• Safety. It is responsible for high-rigidity stabilizers, anti-lock design, and a suspension with four blocks. All this is very important;
• Optimal clearance. It is provided by external wide-angle near mirrors, heated rear mirrors;
• Operator comfort. You can easily adjust the power steering. At the exit there are mats made of a safe material - rubber. There are handrails, a sunroof;
• In addition to driver safety, there are standard warning triangles, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a storage box, a connector for a music system, and a flashing light.

Under the radiator trim there is a lever for raising the cab. During maintenance, the driver will not experience any inconvenience.

Interestingly, not all Scania P380 drivers feel comfortable driving a Scania. But most likely it's their fault. After all, modern technology can be completely customized to suit you. A properly adjusted chair is the path to comfort.

To set up the chair, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions:

• Adjust the chair height. The pillow should be close to the hips;
• Adjust the recline of the chair. The hip should receive balanced support along the entire length of the chair cushion;
• Adjust the depth of the floor in relation to the back. The space in the cavity should be the size of a fist;
• Adjust the backrest tilt – 100-110 degrees;
• Lumbar back support is adjustable using buttons;
• The seat can be moved forward or backward for complete comfort;
• The steering wheel should be positioned so that the operator's arms are slightly bent at the elbows and shoulders down.

So you need to take care of yourself. This issue must be approached with full responsibility.

Dump truck SCANIA P114CB 8×4 HZ380

A. Erokhin, photo by the author

This year, SCANIA introduced to the Russian market a new model of a four-axle (8x4) dump truck with a lifting capacity of 30 tons. We saw this vehicle at the test site one day in July. Naturally, we immediately called the management of Scania Russia, received permission for tests and got to work. In general, everything turned out surprisingly, one might even say “suspiciously” easily.

But then things went more as usual. During the acceptance of the car, the landfill workers noticed the noisy operation of the power steering pump. They inquired about the amount of fluid in the system tanks and did not find it there at all. As usual, the fuel and lubricants warehouse at the landfill has run out of the necessary liquid. We contacted Scania Service and a couple of days later its representative arrived, carried out the necessary repair work, filled the power steering with the required fluid and left some of it (just in case) for us to top up.

After testing at the test site, we received the car already loaded with ballast and weighed, which made our task much easier. Therefore, work began with measuring parameters at full weight. The first thing that simply needs to be noted is the fairly soft suspension of the car. Previously, we tested the 20-ton KamAZ-6522, which amazed us with its rigid suspension. Therefore, having sat comfortably behind the wheel and taken a route simulating city traffic, we appreciated the comfort in the cabin and the softness of the suspension.

The level of external noise when standing next to a dump truck with the engine running is quite high - this is our observation. We heard the same thing from several drivers who came up to look at the car. But in the cabin there is no such noise from a running engine. On the contrary, when driving, the noise level in the cabin is very low and allows you to talk with the passenger without practically raising your voice.

On a route simulating urban traffic (IGD), it is felt that the vehicle weighs 46 tons, but the 380-horsepower engine provides the dump truck with very good dynamics.
There are no difficulties in managing it. On our typical route, eight gears in the box allow full use of the engine's capabilities when the vehicle is loaded. In motion, both the landing position and the location of the controls evoke only pleasant impressions. But imitation of city traffic is the most tedious test, requiring the driver to actively work with almost all organs. And here everything is at hand, the pedals are located comfortably for the feet, the effort on the pedals is small. The instrument cluster fits precisely within the circumference of the steering wheel and is perfectly legible. Visibility through the rearview mirrors (especially on the left side) is very good. Technical characteristics of the SCANIA P114CB 8×4 HZ380 dump truck

The cabin is equipped with a sufficient number of places for storing necessary small items for a dump truck. The right seat is rigidly fixed. The inside of the cabin is much more spacious than it looks from the outside. Despite the lack of air conditioning, the summer heat is felt less in it than in the interior of a passenger car, which also lacks air conditioning.

However, when setting up the workplace, doubts arose. In particular, the steering column adjustments are fixed using one handle located on the left of the steering wheel casing. When you turn it counterclockwise, you can change the height of the steering wheel; when you turn it clockwise, you select one of two options for tilting the steering wheel. For ease of exit, the steering wheel can also be tilted forward until it stops. It seemed to us that the fixed tilt of the steering column was not very comfortable. For a driver of average height, the first of two positions is suitable and all that remains is to adjust the steering wheel height (fixed in any position).

The average speed on the route was 36.4 km/h, and fuel consumption was 55.4 l/100 km.
For a vehicle with a gross weight of more than 46 tons, these are very good indicators. Test results SCANIA P114CB 8×4 HZ380

When determining the maximum speed and fuel consumption in steady-state driving conditions, the results shown by the car also deserve respect. The maximum speed limiter is activated at 86.8 km/h. In this case, the engine speed in top gear does not exceed 1,700 rpm. The vehicle's run-out from 50 km/h is impressive - 1,440 m. Yes, the weight of the dump truck is 46 tons, but for comparison: domestic rolling stock with the same gross weight on domestic tires does not even reach a kilometer. The basis for the efficiency of imported trucks is good tires.

By the way, our car is “shod” in Michelin tires size 315/80R22.5, which have an all-metal cord frame (CMK) and the ability to re-cut the tread, i.e. all characteristic features of modern truck tires.

Having finished testing, we unload. This produces a heap (30 tons of sand) of quite decent size. When the body is fully raised, the tailgate opens completely due to the presence of a visor in the lower rear part of the body. Lowering occurs at the maximum speed allowed by the rules, which makes unloading extremely fast.

Driving an empty dump truck along the IGD route is very pleasant. The car becomes very playful; for acceleration it is enough to use only three gears. The average speed on the route shown by the dump truck without load is 40.6 km/h, fuel consumption is 34.7 l/100 km. For an empty vehicle weighing a little more than 16 tons, the indicators are also very good and very important for a dump truck, since half of the mileage is empty.

Test conditions

It was also a pleasant surprise that the ride quality of an empty car was almost as smooth as a loaded one. Testing the fuel-speed properties on a dynamometer test from the point of view of maximum speed (remember the presence of a speed limiter) did not yield anything new, but fuel consumption was a pleasant surprise. In fact, at 50 km/h fuel consumption is only 18.3 l/100 km, and at maximum speed (87.7 km/h) it is 30.8 l/100 km.

In general, as a dump truck designed for transporting bulk cargo, the car is very attractive to a potential buyer primarily due to its carrying capacity and body capacity, as well as its fairly low fuel consumption and long service life.

The editors thank the management for providing the car for testing.

Engine and gearbox

The car has a 4-stroke engine with 6 cylinders, 24 valves and 12 liters. The engine operates taking into account all environmental standards, according to Euro-3 standards. In addition, the Scania P380 engine has a turbocharger, cooling, and direct injection design. There is a speed limit of 85 km/h.

The large air intake is intended for use in difficult conditions and is protected by a filter. For every 100 km the car consumes no more than 35 liters.

The checkpoint deserves no less attention. This is a 9-speed model, has an oil cooler, 2-row shift. The transmission may include a divider, range, reduction and reverse gear.

With standard assembly, the car has a single-disc clutch, main rear axles with wheel and axle differential locks.

This is a safe dump truck that is ahead of competitors in many characteristics: French, Russian, German manufacturers. Scania has everything you need:

During the test drive, the car only confirmed my impression of it. Definitely, this is the best option out of many available.

The quieter you go, the further you'll get

It won’t be possible to organize “races” on this dump truck even if you want to, and not because in the cabin in the most visible place there is a warning, understandable even without translation, “Limited speed 85 km/h”, but because the gear ratios in the car’s transmission are selected to ensure maximum service life for units experiencing heavy loads. Let me explain with an example. Of the 9 possible gears, only two are used at speeds above 40 km/h, i.e., in conditions typical for other cars, and the remaining gears are needed when starting and accelerating in various road conditions. Such a variety of “starting” gears is not at all superfluous when there are 25 tons of cargo “behind” and only 380 “horses” in the asset. Sometimes you'll go through all the gears one by one until the loaded car reaches cruising speed. Of course, such a selection of gears is tiring for the driver, especially in the city, where you have to brake at almost every traffic light and then accelerate again. But when accelerating with “overkill,” the car’s transmission, and especially the clutch, does not experience peak loads and lasts quite a long time. To prevent dashing racers from tearing up the car and speeding up starts by revving up the engine, the clutch overload protection system prevents the next gear from engaging when the engine speed exceeds 1800 rpm.

Technical characteristics of the Scania P 380CB 6×4 EHZ dump truck

All of the above does not mean at all that the car on the road behaves like a large and clumsy “turtle”. Even with a loaded car, you can avoid falling out of dense city traffic and enjoy driving. The driver will simply be required to work more accurately and accurately with the gears. But if he accidentally makes a mistake, the electronics will prevent him from “ruining” the car, correcting the driver’s actions in time.

Scania P380 chassis

It is also important to say a few words about the car chassis. Thus, the maximum possible load on the front axle is 9 tons, and on the rear bogie 30 tons. The center distance is 330 cm.

Regarding the brakes, it should be said that there is a dual-circuit, direct-acting, pneumatic design. There is an air dryer and an automatic engine brake.

The car has an adjustable steering wheel with hydraulic booster. It lends itself perfectly to the driver.

In this section it is worth mentioning the electrical equipment of the technician. Scania is equipped with 2 batteries with a capacity of 180 A/h, 24 V. There is a powerful generator with a capacity of 100 A.

Here's what else is on the technology:

• high and low beam headlights (adjustable);
• fog lights;
• rear lights.

In addition, there is a lighting structure on the visor, as well as dimensions. It is important that the bumper is made of steel and is equipped with running boards. There is a spare wheel behind the cab. Everything necessary for installation and dismantling is included:

• compressor;
• hydraulic jack;
• caps;
• wheel stops.

The manufacturers thought through every moment well.

Features of operation of Scania P380

It is clear that owners want to buy a good and reliable dump truck. But construction roads do not always meet the quality level, and operators do not have the necessary knowledge and experience.

So, the technical data of the car indicate a high safety margin, which increases the efficiency of its operation.

As noted above, the total weight of the car is 39,000 kg. A load weighing 9,000 kg can be placed on the front axle, from the permissible 39,000 kg, and 15,000 kg can be placed on the two rear axles. Theoretically, the load capacity is optimal and the machine will not be overloaded. But is this true in practice?

Description of SCANIA dump trucks

SCANIA DIP TRUCKS ARE DIFFERENTIAL BY RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY. YOU WILL SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS NOT ONLY DURING THE OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT ON CONSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO IN THE BALANCE SHEET OF YOUR ENTERPRISE.

Buying a Scania dump truck will positively impact your productivity and thereby increase the profitability of your business. Working without downtime means saving money. After all, the last thing you need is unplanned expenses.

We create dump trucks with a perfect understanding of your needs. As a result, you get the dump truck you need.

Construction equipment must work in any conditions and in any weather. Sometimes a minor breakdown of a dump truck can lead to a delay in the delivery of the project and penalties. You have a great responsibility: contractors and customers expect you to complete their tasks on time. That is why nothing should interfere with your work.

Scania trucks and dump trucks are reliable vehicles designed to cope with the toughest conditions - these vehicles will go where there is a road and where there is not.

That is why the sale of Scania dump trucks is very popular in Russia. On steep ascents and descents, over soggy clay and sand – Scania dump trucks will deliver the load and easily drive through the most seemingly impassable sections of roads.

Buying a Scania dump truck means ensuring uninterrupted operation and not worrying about cargo delivery. Scania dump trucks meet the most extreme operating requirements. We offer equipment with engines of different power and different wheel configurations, depending on your tasks.

The P 400 CB6x4EHZ dump truck is the first representative of the updated model range of standard Scania dump trucks!

He inherited all the best qualities and advantages of his previous models:

• • Throttle response and good driving performance with a minimum number of gear changes.

• • Powerful engines with high torque combined with reinforced gearboxes.

• • Reinforced frames and bodies made of high-strength steels specially designed for durable and trouble-free operation.

Prices for Scania P380

As you know, the final cost of the car depends on the configuration. If we are talking about new technology. On the Russian market, the price of a dump truck starts from 2,300,000 rubles.

The price of a used version starts from approximately 1,900,000 rubles. It can be significantly lower, as it depends on the condition of the equipment and the year of manufacture.

Many companies purchase a dump truck to rent it out. The rental price depends on the region of residence. It costs 1,200 rubles per hour, and 12,000 rubles per shift.

conclusions

Well, most drivers have only positive things to say about the Scania car. Of course, drivers feel comfortable. Plus, the engine runs great. He truly copes with the most difficult tasks.

Operators note that over the long period of use of the car, there were no serious breakdowns. Usually, all that is required is scheduled maintenance, as a result of which it becomes clear that everything is fine.

But some owners are unhappy with the interior lighting. Headlights do not solve the necessary problems. For example, operators are forced to fill out invoices or any documents in the dark. But the head light copes with its duties brilliantly. So the Scania P380 is definitely worth having in your garage.

The Scania P380 dump truck is a special purpose vehicle that is used in industry, construction and public utilities for transporting goods in conditions of varying complexity.

For stable round-the-clock operation, the Scania dump truck has 5 types of cabs: a day cab, three different types of night cabs (with a berth) and a short cab. The cabin is equipped with an ergonomic driver's seat (heated and 10 adjustment modes) on a specially designed air suspension. A Russified BC and a convenient control panel are installed for comfortable performance of all work operations.

All contours are thoroughly verified. High-quality block headlights in the bumper are complemented by two additional headlights installed above the sun visor. Additional side lights are also installed there. Between the headlights, directly above the bumper, there is a folding platform for wiping the windshield.

A driver of average height, standing on the platform of a Scania P380 dump truck, will reach the top edge of the glass. By lifting the radiator trim, which is equipped with a lock, the driver discovers a lever for raising the cab. This arrangement of the lever prevents the possibility of breaking the lining when servicing the engine, since it is used to lift the cabin.

According to the general opinion of many drivers, the cabin has very convenient entry and exit via steps with removable rubber mats. The doors open 90 degrees and have comfortable handrails on the sides. Powerful, electrically adjustable and heated wide-angle exterior mirrors provide virtually perfect visibility.

Scania dump trucks Scania P380 - Autointerest.RU

Swedish Scania P380 dump trucks are supplied on two-, three- and four-axle chassis. Dump trucks on three- and four-axle chassis are officially supplied to Russia. Scania trucks equipped with small cabs of the P series are designed for regional and urban transportation, construction work, and various utility needs. These chassis can be used to install special bodies, mixers for delivering concrete and various construction equipment.

SCANIA P380 dump trucks can be equipped with cabs of various modifications. S-14 is the shortest and lowest two-seat truck cab without a berth, divided in the middle by an engine compartment cover. Driver's seat with air suspension with multiple settings. The cabin has everything for the driver’s comfortable work: cruise control, VDO tachograph, on-board computer, audio system, heated and electric mirrors, sunroof.

The P380 CBx4EHZ index indicates all the technical features of the dump truck. The letter C denotes a construction class chassis, B a cargo adaptation. Two driving and two steering axles with locks are designated by the 8x4 wheel arrangement. The letter E indicates the readiness of the dump truck for extremely difficult operating conditions, H indicates the height of the chassis, and Z indicates the spring suspension. Scania trucks designed for driving have a low or normal frame height, while dump trucks, due to the specifics of the work performed, have a high frame.

The Scania 380 dump truck is equipped with an 11 liter DC11 09 engine with a power of 380 hp. This engine has high power and is economical. The DC11 09 engine complies with Euro 3 standards, with turbocharging, intercooler and four valves per cylinder.

Buy chains for special equipment

SCANIA P380 gearbox - nine-speed GR905 actually consists of a conventional two-shaft four-speed gearbox and a planetary two-speed gearbox connected in series. The result is eight gears, which, thanks to the divider, are arranged in groups of four in “two floors” with the H-shaped shift pattern familiar to every driver. Additionally, there is a reverse gear and a “crawl mode” or creep gear for starting a loaded dump truck from a standstill, which has a high gear ratio.

Scania P380

An unloaded dump truck moves off easily from both third and fourth gears; then you can shift through one. The inside of the truck's cabin is very quiet, even when driving at 90 km/h.

The EG651 power take-off is designed to work with additional equipment of the SCANIA P380 dump truck. The dump truck body, 6.4 m long and with a volume of about two dozen cubic meters, is connected to a subframe 200 mm thick. To prevent deformation of the body when loading heavy and hard stones, the floor of the body is made of steel sheet 8 mm thick, the sides are a couple of mm smaller. Behind the canopy of the truck body there is an awning wound into a roll, and at the bottom of the dump truck body there are pipes with exhaust gases so that bulk cargo does not freeze to the bottom in winter.

The lifting capacity of the SCANIA P380 four-axle dump truck is 33 tons. The total weight of the truck is about 50 tons.

Specifications

Technical component

The car is equipped with a six-cylinder turbodiesel engine with an intercooler producing 380 hp. It's not the most powerful diesel in Scania's construction truck range, but it has plenty of torque at low revs, allowing you to drive the vehicle confidently without having to change gears, especially on poorly surfaced construction sites or in quarries with long climbs. The engine is equipped with a white smoke limiter during cold start. It only works when the parking brake is applied and allows not only to reduce the formation of smoke around the car when parked, but also to quickly warm up a cold engine to operating temperature.

The gearbox is mechanical, 9-speed, consisting of a main 4-speed gearbox and a range multiplier that doubles the number of gears, plus one downshift - “turtle”. It is convenient to use a reduction gear for driving in cramped conditions on construction sites or repair bays. In this gear, even with full pressure on the gas pedal, the car does not accelerate more than 2.5–3 km/h. In difficult road conditions, the driver can turn on the center and cross-axle differential locks on the car, and when driving on asphalt roads at speeds over 20 km/h, use cruise control.

The full index of the vehicle that was tested looks quite cumbersome: Scania P 380CB 6×4 EHZ. But behind every letter and number lies the main characteristic of the car. The prefix "P" immediately after the brand designates the cab type. The height of the cabins of this series is slightly lower than the cabins of the R series, as a result of which one can find a rather high engine hood inside them. The numbers 380 indicate engine power. The letter “C” is the purpose class of the machine. In this case, it is a construction vehicle. The letter “B” means that this car left the Scania plant as a chassis. Numbers 6x4 – wheel formula. The abbreviation after the wheel formula denotes the various road conditions for which the car is designed, the letter “E” indicates particularly difficult operating conditions. “H” means high ground clearance, and “Z” means leaf spring suspension at the front and rear.

To direct the exhaust gases to heat the body, you need to throw this damper

The brakes on all wheels of the dump truck are drum, which is certainly justified on a heavy construction truck. There is also an engine brake, which is activated automatically when you press the brake pedal lightly. As our testing showed, it is effective not only when braking downhill, but also for reducing speed in normal mode. Frequent use of the engine brake significantly increases the life of the brake pads. The parking brake lever is now located much higher on the dashboard than before, almost at the level of the steering wheel. In case of danger, it can be used as an emergency brake by pulling the lever toward you until it locks.

In accordance with its class and purpose, the truck has a powerful spring suspension on all wheels front and rear. The spring suspension, of course, is a bit harsh, which affects the smooth ride of the car, especially when unladen. But the comfort of the driver’s workplace is ensured by a full-fledged four-point shock-absorbing cab suspension and an air-suspended seat.

If you examine the Scania P 380CB 6×4 EHZ dump truck from below, you will notice parts that have a special margin of safety. The car frame is made of side members 17.5 mm thick, and in the most critical places it is also reinforced with metal inserts of the same thickness. The car's universal joints, which are almost the size of a football, are impressive.

Device

Scania dump trucks are designed for 24/7 operation. The cars are produced with 5 cab options: standard, reduced and three night cabs with a place to rest. The base for the dump truck is a reinforced spar-type frame. The cabin is secured on the basis of a 4-point suspension.

Cabin

The Scania double cab made of steel, with a cabover layout, is equipped with a Russified computer that displays sensor readings and a one-day tachograph. The dump truck control panel is easy to use.

The ergonomic driver's seat operates in 10 modes and is mounted on air suspension. The shock absorber is weight adjustable. The workplace is heated, the heating system is controlled manually. There is a folding seat for the passenger.

The design of the Scania P380 cab has a number of advantages:

• safety is ensured by high-rigidity cabin stabilizers, mechanical suspension with 4 blocks, and an anti-lock braking system;
• excellent visibility is provided by external wide-angle near mirrors and heated spherical rear mirrors;
• convenience for the driver - easy adjustment of the steering wheel with a hydraulic booster, at the entrance there are steps with rubber mats, handrails, door opening to 90º, sunroof;
• standard warning triangles, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a storage box, a connector for a radio and a 12 V flashing light.

dimensions

The truck is 8756 mm long, 2798 mm high, and 2550 mm wide. The car has a 1940 mm gap between the front and second axles, another 4700 mm between the second and third axles, and 1445 mm at the base of the rear bogie.

Exploitation

The desire of builders to have the most reliable and durable dump truck is understandable. Construction roads are far from ideal, and the qualifications of drivers are sometimes questionable. But the pursuit of super-reliability has its limits. We carefully checked the technical characteristics of our ward and came to a disappointing conclusion - the high safety margin built into this dump truck actually provides a good reason for secretly increasing the “efficiency” of its work.

As we already know, the total weight of a dump truck is limited to 39 tons, and according to the rules, the front axle should account for 9 tons of this weight, and the two rear axles should have no more than 15 tons each. If the vehicle is not overloaded, then the axle’s carrying capacity is abundant. This is in theory. We loaded the car with sand, that is, with a load with an initially high density (1.65–1.95 g/cm 3 ), strictly making sure not to exceed the total mass. Almost after every loader bucket we went to the scales, and still we “missed” by half a ton! At the same time, the body of the dump truck was not filled even to the sides, and if desired, another couple of dozen centners could be thrown there.

Having loaded the dump truck to its full weight, we checked how this weight is distributed along the axes in practice. It turned out not in the best way: the front axle remained underloaded by almost a ton, and the load on the rear axles exceeded the permissible limit. What if we loaded the dump truck “by eye”, without weighing, as is done in real conditions? Then constant overload of the rear axles would be ensured. It is impossible to solve this problem only with recommendations - not to overload the car; the large body volume of 16 m 3 simply provokes the car to be loaded “without a head”. And everyone who operates such vehicles must decide what is more important to them: “efficient” operation of dump trucks for wear and tear with constant and inevitable repairs of the chassis or long-term problem-free operation of, in general, expensive trucks. If the latter, then the dump body for this chassis must be selected with a smaller volume. At the same time, we have not yet touched upon the legal side of the issue of exceeding the permissible axle load on public roads, responsibility for which remains entirely on the conscience of the operators.

New is well forgotten old

Today you won’t surprise anyone with Scania dump trucks; hundreds of such vehicles drive onto our roads every day. Therefore, I will not describe the appearance of the dump truck being tested, especially since two years ago we tested a Scania brand dump truck. True, then it was a vehicle with an 8x4 wheel arrangement and a gross weight of 48 tons*, and now we took a three-axle dump truck with a gross weight of 39 tons. But despite the different “weight category” and a long time gap in testing, the dump trucks have a lot in common. They are equipped with the same powertrains and very similar 9-speed transmissions. Moreover, the dump truck superstructures are of the same type, from the Polish company Hyva.

This coincidence is not accidental. The Scania company produces a huge number of different chassis for dump truck superstructures, but among domestic builders the heaviest in execution and simplest in configuration models are most respected. And under such conditions, the choice of units is no longer so wide, so coincidences are inevitable. As for tipper superstructures, this is exactly the case when the price of the product fully corresponds to its quality and Hyva bodies, together with the hydraulics of the same name, are in steady demand in our market, successfully competing with domestic manufacturers of tipper superstructures.

Getting into the cabin does not cause problems at any stage

But time takes its toll, and when comparing two Scania cars, you note that the three-axle car has clearly undergone a facelift. She has a different “facial expression”, with smooth cabin lines. The impression of “newness” is enhanced by the silver color of the radiator lining; in pre-Reistaling cars it was painted in the color of the cabin. By the way, the upper part of the radiator grille now rises along with the side “cheekbones” for servicing the car. Previously, these “cheekbones” had to be moved to the sides separately from the grille, which was inconvenient.
