Powerful and elegant trucks on the road. That is how cars from Scania can be characterized. Having taken up the production of trucks and buses, the company is actively developing and improving. This article will address issues of production capacity, model range and some historical facts. The Scania truck, whose manufacturing country was originally Sweden, is an excellent choice for any type of transportation.
Where are the "Scania" produced?
Scania is the largest truck and bus manufacturer in Sweden. Volumes of products are so large that the domestic market absorbs only 5%. The rest of the turnover goes to markets in more than 100 countries. "Scania" is sold on all inhabited continents of the Earth. Well-recognized trucks can be seen in Asia, and in Australia, and in Africa. At the same time, Europe and America also receive their share of Swedish products, despite their own production facilities.
Sweden - the country of origin of the Scania automobile - can rightfully be proud of its brainchild. Despite the rather complicated historical path of development, the company is today the largest supplier of trucks, buses, as well as powerful power plants for marine equipment and industrial units.
Scania logo story
It is a known fact that Scania began to exist in 1891. And since 1911 there was a historical merger of two companies - one producing bicycles, and the second producing railway wagons. From here follows the first emblem of Scania: the head of a griffin framed by three spokes of a bicycle connecting rod.
In the 60s of the last century, representatives of Daimler-Benz rivals complained that the Scania logo is very similar to the Mercedes badge. Scania, whose producer country is Sweden, was not so strong in the political arena, and in 1968 the logo changed to a simple image of a griffin on a white background.
The lineup
For more than 100 years of development, Scania has developed its lineup strategy. All trucks of the company are divided into only 3 categories or, as they are called, series.
Scania's P-Series is a popular truck for transporting goods over short distances. The main emphasis in the design is on the ability to transport the maximum amount of cargo in a short time. "Scania", the country of origin of which is native Sweden, has thought up a driver's seat in this series for comfortable movement. Among the advantages, a relatively low fuel consumption should be noted.
The G-series of Scania trucks is already a more solid option. A large cabin with an equipped sleeping bag immediately stands out here. In such cars, you can comfortably transport goods within the whole country. Trucks of this series are especially distinguished in Russia.
The most powerful and comfortable Scania are available in the R-series. The car of this series received the title of the most powerful truck in the world! On such cars it is supposed to move on any distances without stops on the road. That is, all the little things and nuances are thought out here.
Separately, it is worth noting the Scania buses, the country of origin of which is Russia. We are talking about the model OmniLink CL94UB, produced at the plant in St. Petersburg.
New from Scania
By 2017, the new Scania is coming out. The technical specifications of the new truck are impressive. More than 700 "horses" are developing the engine of this car. A modern exterior and a comfortable cab along with Swedish-branded quality will find many who want to own a new car. Sweden is an industrialized manufacturing country of Scania. There are not so many trucks with such quality in the world. Together with a competent customer policy, Scania is a successful company and is not going to slow down development.
