THE NEW HEAVY TRUCK RANGE FROM SCANIA

The R-series. Premium long-haul prime movers.

THE R-SERIES

THE R-SERIES

The R-series is for single and multi-trailer

applications where performance and

productivity are critical to getting the job

done.

Designed for the lowest cost-per-

kilometre, the R-series is equipped with

innovations that improve fuel consumption

and component durability and serviceability.

It features the latest technological

advancements in braking, air systems,

aerodynamics and ergonomics as well as an

entirely new cab interior.

Innovative aerodynamics and smarter

control of engine auxiliaries have improved

fuel economy. A new air system includes

the option of an electronically-controlled

compressor that avoids charging when the

engine is pulling. Instead, charging takes place

when the vehicle is rolling or going downhill.

Other product highlights include new

frontal styling, a cab interior featuring a much

smaller engine tunnel and new generation

electronic disc brakes.

The exhaust brake and Scania Retarder

have been integrated into the brake system,

and the further refi nement of Scania

Opticruise means the driver rarely need

intervene to control gear changing.

With EBS and disc brakes standard on all

air-suspended trucks, the R-series brings new

levels of safety and reliability to the task.

The new electrical system features CAN-

bus-based electrical system, easy trouble-

shooting of all electronic control units, and

bodywork electrics prepared outside the cab.

The R-series cabs have passed Scania’s

unique 35 km/h crash test and are impact-tested

according to Swedish cab safety standards.

So given all this, it’s little wonder the new

R-series is the 2005 International Truck of the

Year.

Performance and productivity.

The best driver environment money can buy.

The R-series’ new cab brings driver comfort to new levels.

A wide range of adjustments to the seat and steering

column lets drivers fi nd exactly the right position for a

comfortable, relaxed posture.

A new curved dashboard features new controls and

instrumentation, and the steering wheel can be optioned with

buttons for cruise control and sound system.

The new cab interior features new seats, an almost fl at

fl oor, an abundance of storage compartments and lockers, a

bed 15cm wider than the 4-series and options like automatic

climate control and a folding gear lever.

Controls and switches on the dashboard are located within

a sweep of the forearm – there’s no need to stretch or take the

eyes off the road. Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder, for

example, are activated by a combined lever on the steering

column.

Dashboard displays normally show only the most

necessary information in order to keep the driver’s attention

focused, and a warning will activate if the key is removed

without setting the park brake.

Performance and fuel economy.12-litreThe 12-litre’s main applications are local and intrastate

single trailer, but it also excels in heavy distribution and

construction applications.

The two ADR80/00 (Euro 3) versions produce 420hp

and 2100Nm and 470hp and 2200Nm. The exhaust brake

produces 230kW at 2300rpm.

Both engines features Scania HPI, a high-pressure

fuel injection system designed for low fuel consumption.

Turbocompounding boosts power on the high-output 470hp

engine and reduces emissions on the new 420hp ADR80/01

(Euro 4) engine.

THE R-SERIES

16-litre V8The new 500hp 2400 Nm V8 closes the power and torque

gap between the 470hp 12-litre turbocompound engine and

the high-output 580hp V8.

The output increase is 20hp over the previous 480hp

engine, combined with a 100Nm rise in torque. The 500hp

is ideal for single or multi-trailer applications in line haul,

logging, or heavy haulage applications.

The 580hp V8 boasts a massive 2700Nm and is the

ultimate in Scania’s current engine range. The external

dimensions of the V8 mean that it can be combined

with the new rest cab offered on the R-series to create a

uniquely compact installation ideal for some construction

applications.
