Scania

[jotada_63]

I know at letters R and S means truck model name, R = Raven, S = Streamline,
But there is also P, G and L, Is there someone from Sweden who can tell us to all what model names those? And is there more Scania model names?

Happy truck'n:)

Where did you get the above information from? I'm 99% sure it's wrong.

[jotada_63]

And i am 100% sure R = Raven and S = Streamline. I know at there is also Scania P, G and L, maybe more, I am not sure.

First of all, these letters (R, S etc.) is not necessarily related to the truck model itself. They are however part of Scania's internal cab designation, which includes a number of different variables and specifications. More specifically, the letters are part of the "cab type" designation, where:
L=low-entry cab
P=low cab
G=high cab
R=high mounted cab
S=high mounted cab with flat floor

Again, they are not related to "raven", "streamline" or any other coincidencel-based name you could find. There are no more "letters" than those now mention. But like I said, there are more variables and specifications with other types of internal coding. For example if you want a crew cab or different heights of the roof.

Okay, Thanks alot of your info.

Here what i find with google search:

Visual identity:

New face – new name – new type designations

A new front, but still unmistakably a Scania. All the familiar contours are there, like the bars in the grille. In the new styling, the space between the bars reinforce the truck’s identity.

The designation is new, featuring the key elements of a Scania truck: cab and engine power are easy to grasp and remember. The letters in the grille – for example R 420 – tell us what to call the new trucks. Vehicles with the 16-litre engine also feature a V8 badge on the opposite side.

Scania is entering a new stage with its global product range. This makes it natural to change the model designation and break with a 35-year tradition. Product development is even more focused on continuous changes in small steps, and this means that the generation concept no longer fits in.

The new frontal styling features the horizontal bars associated with previous Scania models. The Scania identity is reinforced by the space between the bars. This also means that the identity is unmistakably Scania even if the grille is painted.

The new type designations mirror buyers’ and drivers’ perception of the most important distinguishing elements of a Scania vehicle.

What matters most is that it’s a Scania. The cab gives the truck its visual identity. Engine power and the way it is delivered is important. And finally, a Scania V8 is a legend that makes the driver extra proud of his truck.

R 340 and R 380 are powered by the 11-litre engine.

R 420 and R 470 have the 12-litre engine. R 470 is the high-output turbocompound version.

R 500 and R 580 are the range-topping V8 models.

Scania's new type designations – R 580 LA4x2MNA

The type designation is divided into a first section that indicates the cab model, which gives the truck its external identity, and the engine power, the most important component of the powertrain. This type designation is also indicated on a badge at the front of the truck. The second part is a description of the chassis.

Cab and engine power: R 420 LA4x2MNA

Cab type:

The R-cab is Scania’s high-mounted forward-control cab. Initially, the following long-haulage cabs are available. Other cabs will follow.

CR19N standard sleeper cab
CR19H high-roof sleeper cab (+200 mm)
CR19T Topline full-height sleeper cab, (+520 mm)

Engine power:

The output of the engine is rounded off to the nearest 10 hp.

340, 380 11-litre six-cylinder engine
420, 470 12-litre six-cylinder engine
500, 580 16-litre V8 engine

Chassis: R 420 LA4x2MNA

Type of transport:

Scania trucks are designed for three transport segments. The first models in the new truck range are tailored to long-haul operations.

L long-haulage, involves mostly highway operation at gross weights up to 60 tonnes
D distribution (coming later)
C construction (coming later)

Chassis adaptation:

Scania trucks are offered ex-factory with two types of chassis adaptation.

A tractor
B rigid

Wheel configuration:

The wheel configurations for long-haul trucks initially comprise:

4x2 Two-axle truck with one driven axle.
6x2 Three-axle truck with one driven axle and one tag axle.
6x2 also includes 6x2/4 (twin-steer) and 6x2*4 (rear-steer). 6x2/4 has a steered tag axle in front of the drive axle.
6x2*4 has a steered tag axle behind the driven axle.

Duty class:

For each transport type, chassis are divided according to the severity of operation.

M medium duty: trucks running on well maintained surfaced roads
H heavy duty: trucks running on surfaced roads or well-maintained unsurfaced roads
E extra heavy duty: trucks running off-road or on poorly maintained unsurfaced roads (coming later)

Frame height:

Scania’s new truck range will be available in the following relative chassis heights.

H High (coming later)
N Normal
L Low
E Extra low

Suspension:

Most long-haulage trucks are fitted with parabolic springs at the front and air suspension at the rear. Leaf-spring and full-air suspensions are also available.

A Front leaf springs (generally parabolic), rear air suspension
B Full air suspension
Z Leaf springs all-round (parabolic or multi-leaf)

Examples:

R 420 LA4x2MNA has an R-cab and a 420 hp engine. It is a two-axle tractor unit build for medium-duty operation, has normal chassis height and rear air suspension. Suitable e.g. for international long-haulage.

R 340 LB6x2*4MLB has an R-cab and a 340 hp engine. The vehicle is a three-axle rigid with steered tag axle behind the driven axle. It is intended for medium-duty operation, has a low-slung chassis and full air suspension. Suitable e.g. for regional distribution.

R 500 LA6x2HNZ has an R-cab and a 500 hp engine. It is a heavy-duty tractor unit for poorly maintained main roads, has normal chassis height and leaf springs all-round. Suitable e.g. for heavy long-haulage on rough roads.

Historic review 1968-2004:

Since 1968, Scania's model designations have been based on engine size in litres plus one digit for the generation, e.g. 110, 111, 112, 113, 114 for trucks with the 11-litre engine.
On the 2- and 3-series, the digits were supplemented with a letter for chassis strength, M, H or E. The badge said 113M, for instance.
On the 4-series, the letter was replaced by the chassis class, L, D, C or G, which might say 124L on the badge, for example. A survey among customers indicates that people are often uncertain about what the designation means.
The R-series only has the cab model and the engine power at the front, supplemented with a V8 badge for the 16-litre engine.
The long type designation of the R-series contains L, D and C as transport types and M, H and E as duty classes.

Happy truck'n

I'm guessing that information is from the 2004 launch(?)

[jotada_63]
