Scania says it remains the only supplier of on road trucks powered by a V8, and the S-series show truck comes equipped with all the latest and greatest European active and passive safety features from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to side curtain roll-over airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive steering, as well as Scania’s brand new all-digital dashboard.

Scania says the 770 S CS 23 sets a new standard for long haul comfort, technology and convenience and is joined on the stand by a 500 P low entry prime mover boasting an example of the successful 13-litre straight six-cylinder SUPER engine family that has been a huge hit with Australian customers since launch two years ago. The brand says the 500 P prime mover is ideal for last mile delivery, urban and regional work, as well as having the flexibility to undertake B-double work when needed.

Driving down fuel consumption and emissions has seen a rapid acceleration with the arrival of the Scania SUPER engine range. Scania’s claims of an eight per cent fuel saving have been met and exceeded in many cases in real world operation down under.

The feature-rich all-new DOHC design delivers amazing fuel figures, plenty of power and prodigious torque. Compared with rivals of similar hp outputs, the Scania SUPER engines deliver more torque at each hp rating which underscores its drivability and performance as well as fuel economy and reduced emissions.

Scania says the new-look, eye-catching, bi-level locally designed stand provides plenty of space for visitors to view the three trucks, as well as discover detailed product and services information, meet the Scania team, grab a coffee from the famous Scania barista as well as browse and buy Scania’s ever-popular merchandise.

“It is good to be back at the Brisbane Truck Show, and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones, while introducing visitors to our new-look stand,” Benjamin says.

“We have brought a team of our specialists from throughout Scania Australia to the show and welcome all enquiries about our products and services.”
