The Scania PRT-range (also known as Scania LPGRS-range or Scania PGRT-range),[1] 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 in spring 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 later in the year. The bonneted model was discontinued in 2005. In 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-end version of the second generation, the Scania L-series, also launched.
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 Sdertlje (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.[3] 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.[4] Production of the 4-series was continued at the Scania Latin America plant in So Bernardo do Campo (Brazil), but was from October 2004 relaunched as the Srie Evoluo (Evolution Series), featuring the new engines of the PRT-range and the same new model designation, but with the old 4-series cabs.[5][6]
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.[7] 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.[8] 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, which was even lower than the P cab, nor with the G chassis of the 4-series (i.e. 94G).[9] On 9 October 2007, the new range was also launched in Latin America, featuring all three P-, G- and R-series from the start.[10] In April 2008, Scania unveiled their first ethanol-powered (ED95) trucks, having manufactured ethanol-powered buses for nearly two decades.[11]
On 17 September 2009, an upgraded R-series was launched with many new features including a sharper exterior styling with larger grille openings,[12] new interior details including the possibility of a factory-installed coffeemaker,[13] new version of the Scania Opticruise gear system with automatic clutch[14] and a driver support system.[15] The G-series received the upgrade shortly afterwards, and the P-series during 2011. In 2014 the front air filters G & R - Series were given a redesign
In March 2013, Scania launched the new Streamline versions for R-series and G-series, featuring engines complying with Euro 6 regulations and aerodynamic improvements for lower fuel consumption.[17]
The Special Edition was a special edition based on Scania's range of trucks for the South American market (especially in Brazil), commemorating the 60 years of Scania Brasil.[18] Inspired by the Brazilian-built Scania 3-series T113 bonneted truck from 1991, the special edition R series features an emblematic blue-sky colour which a combination of pink, lilac and purple from the previous T113. There were two options for the special edition, the Classic package featuring xenon headlamps, refrigerator compartment, and the package which adds polished aluminium wheels, steering wheel and leather seats. Sales commenced in July 2017.
Introduced in September 2017, the Scania XT[31] 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 also have touchscreen infotainment systems. Deliveries began in late 2017.
Diesel engine versions of the new generation currently available in selected truck models as of 2019. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) was added into the lineup in late 2017, alongside a compressed natural gas (CNG) version.
Scania use different model designations for different contexts. A simplified truck model designation is used for marketing and is visible in the grille. Another complete designation defines the characteristics of the chassis and the drivetrain, and a third designation defines the cab configuration.[35]
As vehicles become more sophisticated, the dependency on software to bring new products to market increases. Automotive manufacturers must also ensure industry compliance with regulations such as MISRA and ISO26262.
Scania has long embraced Lean principles and has recently adopted Agile and Continuous Delivery as ways to decrease time to market while ensuring product quality. Back in 2008, Scania was using a variety of tools including Subversion and IBM ClearCase, both of which created numerous issues:
The Scania logotype is one of our most valuable assets and an important graphic identifier for our brand. Since consistency is a key success factor in branding, the logotype must always be used according to the guidelines below and in its original execution.
The Scania wordmark is a specific graphic execution of the company name, hence the most direct and effective asset when communicating our brand. It is never to be used in running text, but is used as part of our logotype to identify the brand and used together with the symbol in communication.
The Scania symbol in full-colour is our visual fingerprint, and a famous seal of quality. With the eye-catching griffin in the middle, surrounded by the hub derived from bicycles, it stands for our deep roots and the great pride we take in our valuable heritage. In communication, the symbol is used together with the wordmark to frame the message.
The lock-up logotype is used in all branding activities. The vertical version is the primary version and first-hand choice, but for odd formats or when it does not fit the secondary horizontal version may be used.
To ensure a strong unified global visual identity all films produced by and for Scania must end with a Scania logotype. The animated end logotype is designed to harmonise with our sound logotype, but stand just as well on its own. Read more about the use of logotype in films on the Film page.
The symbol and the wordmark must always be presented together, when first establishing Scania as the communication source. It could be either as a lock-up logotype or separated according to the Scania grid system, e.g. on the cover of a brochure or magazine, in ads, exterior signage, etc. Once Scania has been established , the symbol and the wordmark can be used individually, normally only the symbol (e.g. in PowerPoint presentations after the title page as well as on websites when scrolling down).
For marking of common parts within the TRATON GROUP, where common marking has been decided, the TENTIK logotype should be used. TENTIK is the group's common brand/logotype used for marking of some of the parts that are shared between several brands within the TRATON GROUP. More information about TENTIK is available on the Commercial Support site on Reflex.
More information about parts marking (both with the Scania logotype and TENTIK logotype) is also available in the Corporate standards for Marking of parts: STD14 (for Scania internal use) and STD19 (for Scania internal and supplier use).
However, some products, like beach flags and merchandise, have such a narrow or odd format, so that the logotype will not be visible enough if placed horizontally. Hence, on such products the horizontal lock-up logotype may be rotated 90 degrees clockwise (so the symbol is in the top and the wordmark pointing downwards). Please note that these are exceptions, and that all these products are handled centrally by the Brand assortments department and ordered via the B2B webshop. No local production is allowed.
The primary logotype versions are always the full-colour versions, creating instant brand recognition and giving the best brand impact. The wordmark is available in blue (for light backgrounds) or white (for dark backgrounds) to always contrast with the background.
If it is not possible to reproduce the full-colour versions with good quality, monochrome versions are available: blue for light backgrounds, white for dark backgrounds and black if the print is in black and white.
