Scania T Series

The Scania PRT-range (also known as Scania LPGRS-range or Scania PGRT-range), also referred to as new truck range or Scania's truck range, is the current range of trucks produced by the Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania. It was first introduced as the successor to the 4-series on 31 March 2004 with the high forward control cab Scania R-series, followed by the low forward control cab Scania P-series and bonneted cab Scania T-series on 20 August 2004. The bonneted model was discontinued in October 2005. On 5 September 2007 the Scania G-series, a medium forward control cab was introduced and was derived from the R-series. The entire range is modular, giving a wide range of different configurations for different types of trucks. The trucks are available with engines ranging from a 9-litre I5 to a 16-litre V8, with the V8 only being available in the higher model. A second generation launched in August 2016, first was the Scania S-series being the first flat-floor model. In December 2017, a low-entry version of the second generation, the Scania L-series, also launched.

First generation (2004–2017)

The range was first launched with the R-series on 31 March 2004, replacing the R94, R114, R124, R144, and R164 of the 4-series. It had 65 percent of the same components as its predecessors, but with a new cab design, new interior and other technical improvements. Full-scale production started in Södertälje (Sweden) in April, Zwolle (the Netherlands) in May and in Angers (France) in June. At launch it was available with Euro III engines, but with a 420 hp Euro IV engine available from September. On 20 August, the P- and T-series were launched too, completing the new truck range and replacing the rest of the 4-series models. The new models made their public debut at the IAA commercial vehicle show in Hanover in late September. Production of the 4-series was continued at the Scania Latin America plant in São Bernardo do Campo (Brazil), but was from October 2004 relaunched as the Série Evolução (Evolution Series), featuring the new engines of the PRT-range and the same new model designation, but with the old 4-series cabs. In October 2005, Scania decided to discontinue the bonneted T-series, having lost its market share over the years. Over the last decade the sales had been halved in Europe and gone down 90 percent in Latin America. In 2004, fewer than 1,000 bonneted Scania trucks were sold worldwide, meaning there was no longer a market for it. In late 2006, Scania launched a new low-entry version of the P-series cab, known as the CP19E, specially intended for garbage trucks, where the driver needs to get in and out quickly. This cab was targeted as a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz Econic. On 5 September 2007, Scania launched the all-new G-series, with a cab height between the P-series and the R-series. It should not be confused with the old G cab of the 2- and 3-series,

Second generation/next gen (2016–present)

Since Scania signed a deal with Porsche Engineering in August 2010, a completely new truck cab has been in development, known as a next generation. From early 2014, several masked prototypes have been spotted on roads in Sweden, Spain and Norway. It was officially launched at the Grand Palais in Paris on 23 August 2016. The launch included new R-series sleeper cab and the all-new S-series sleeper cab which offers a flat interior floor. Other cab heights, including R-series day cab, of the new generation will have a later launch. The first display of the new generation to a public audience occurred at the Elmia Lastbil fair in Jönköping, on 24 August. The second generation range features two touchscreen infotainment systems. The Base package has a 5-inch resolution, and the Premium package has a bigger, 7-inch resolution. In April 2017, the Premium package now supports for the first time – Apple CarPlay. The low-entry version called the L series was added to the lineup in December 2017. Plug-in Hybrid and Fully-electric models were introduced in 2020. Scania XT. Introduced in September 2017, the Scania XT is sold in multiple configurations. Apart from its standard model, the XT features a steel bumper with which extended up to 150 millimetres, a protection shield, a towing device, high air intake and replaced standard side mirrors with reinforced ribbed rear view mirrors. It is certified for 40 tonnes, while enabling to pull other vehicles and equipment as well as to be towed when needed. Optional include an electronic braking system (EBS) with discs or drums, new two-leaf parabolic front springs and enlarged wheel housings to accommodate larger than normal wheel/tyre combinations, can be specified together with two different vertical exhaust stack options. The XT can al
