L-series specifications

Safety. Visibility. Flexibility.

Productive in cities

Driving big, heavy vehicles in an urban environment is always a demanding challenge. The L-series has the characteristics required for distribution and applications that operate mainly in an urban environment with heavy traffic where many different road users have to share space.

7-litre

The Scania 7-litre engines are lighter than the 9-litre range, making them perfect for urban environments. The range offers great performance and driveability together with fuel savings of up to 10 percent. Our 7-litre, six-cylinder engines have power outputs from 220 to 280 hp.

9-litre

Our 9-litre engine is available with 280, 320, 340 and 360 hp depending on your choice of fuel. In addition it gives you a significant weight reduction compared to the 13-litre engine, enabling you to add a little extra to your payload without compromising your performance. Our 9-litre, five-cylinder engines have power outputs from 280 to 360 hp.

Find the power for you

Scania has the broadest range of powertrains on the market. With the latest update of the whole range of 9-litres Euro 6 engines comes a fuel saving of up to 2% fuel.

Get the right gearbox

Our comprehensive gearbox range can be adapted to all types of transport. For improved drivability, our 8- and 12-speed gearboxes can be fitted with Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder.

8-speed

The virtue of this gearbox lies in its simplicity. Rugged and compact, there are no crawler ratios and the smooth, positive action makes gearchanging easy. Options include Scania Opticruise, Scania Retarder and a selection of power take-offs.

8+1-speed

This gearbox offers similar advantages, together with an extra crawler ratio. Based on a 4-speed box, plus a planetary section, its strength is more than a match for the high-torque output of any Scania inline engine. Options include Scania Retarder and a selection of power take-offs.

12-speed

This gearbox is built to tackle the most challenging terrain, making it the perfect choice for demanding long-haulage. Its closely stepped ratios combine light weight with ease of driving with exceptional operating economy.

12+2-speed

For applications that demand extra low-speed pulling power, this gearbox has two extra crawler ratios. Designed for optimised economy, it has proved highly successful for both long-distance and regional distribution, as well as heavy construction applications. The overdrive versions offer higher torque capacity, plus overdrive for low and economic cruising revs. Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder, as well as a selection of power take-offs, are available for all range-splitter gearboxes.

Rear axle gears

Scania’s rear axle range offers a robust and weight optimised design with a wide variety of gears and ratios, so you can find the optimal solution for your operation. All gears are offered with differential locks.

Single driven single reduction

Our gears for single reduction have low complexity and high efficiency and can master gross vehicle and train weights up to 78 tonnes with a wide range of gear ratios from 2.35 up to 5.57.

Single driven hub reduction

The single driven hub reduction axles are offered for the operations where startability, ground clearance and high gross train weights are favourable. They manage gross vehicle and train weights up to 80 tonnes with gear ratios from 3.80 up to 7.18.

TANDEM DRIVEN SINGLE REDUCTION

Tandem driven single reduction is offered for operations where you require traction together with optimal fuel efficiency. The RB662 + R660 tandem gear masters gross vehicle and train weights up to 80 tonnes with gear ratios from 2.92 up to 4.88.

Tandem driven single hub reduction

Our broad tandem driven hub reduction axles are robust and durable and offers great startability and ground clearance. It masters extremely high gross vehicles and train weights to up to 210 tonnes with gear ratios from 3.52 up to 7.63.

Improved up-shift performance

The lay shaft break improves up-shift performance by cutting the time required to change gear. The lay shaft breaks up-shift performance independent of the engine.

Reduced engagement time

A lay shaft break reduces PTO and reverse/crawler engagement time and boosts engagement comfort/robustness. 

Responsive engine

One big benefit with the lay shaft break is that it makes it possible to keep the engine responsive.
