Trucks SCANIA

Scania trucks hold a premium position in the commercial vehicle market, renowned for their exceptional driver comfort, robust engineering, and operational efficiency. The brand is particularly famous for its powerful V8 engine options, which are a top choice for heavy haulage and demanding applications. Scania's modular system allows for highly tailor-made specifications, enabling operators to configure vehicles perfectly for tasks ranging from long-haul transport and regional distribution to specialised construction and municipal work.

This focus on customisation, combined with advanced powertrains like the efficient 'Super' inline-6, ensures a strong Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) proposition. The high-quality cabs, from the practical P-series to the spacious, flat-floored S-series, are designed as productive and comfortable workplaces, cementing Scania's reputation as a driver-focused manufacturer.

New Scania Truck Prices

The cost for a brand-new model is determined by a vast range of configurable options, including the series, engine, cab, and specific application. However, typical price ranges for new Euro 6 models provide a useful baseline for buyers.

• Long-Haul tractor units: A standard Scania R 460 or S 500 4x2 tractor unit, equipped for international transport, generally falls within the €130,000 to €180,000 range. High-specification models with a V8 engine can easily exceed €200,000.
• Distribution Rigid Trucks: A chassis cab for regional distribution, such as a P-series or G-series 6x2, typically costs between €100,000 and €140,000 before the addition of bodywork like a curtain-sider or refrigerated box.
• Construction trucks: Heavy-duty construction vehicles from the XT range, for instance a G 500 8x4 tipper or hooklift, are priced from €160,000 to over €220,000, depending on the complexity of the body and hydraulic equipment.

Used Scania Truck Prices

The market for pre-owned vehicles from this manufacturer is diverse, with their valuation heavily influenced by age, mileage, cab type, engine, and its previous application. Highway trucks typically have higher mileage but less chassis wear than heavy-duty construction vehicles.

Buyers on a tighter budget often consider older, well-maintained Euro 5 models, which offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for many transport tasks.

Factors Influencing Price

Beyond the basics of age and condition, several manufacturer-specific factors determine the overall valuation of these vehicles. Understanding these drivers is key to assessing the value of a vehicle.

• Series and Generation: The latest generation of trucks (introduced from 2016 onwards) commands higher prices than the previous PGR series due to improved efficiency, technology, and comfort. Within a generation, the premium S-series and R-series are more expensive than the G-series and P-series.
• Engine: The legendary V8 engines are a significant price driver, sought after for their power and prestige. The efficient inline-6 engines, particularly the recent 'Super' models, are valued for their fuel economy.
• Cab Level: The size and specification of the cab have a major impact. The spacious S-series cab with a flat floor is the most premium option. Highline and Normal cabs offer different levels of space and comfort, reflected in their price.
• Equipment: Features such as the Scania Opticruise automated gearbox, retarder, axle configuration (e.g., 6x2 twin-steer vs. 6x4 double-drive), and any fitted equipment like cranes or hydraulics add considerable value.
• Service History: A complete and documented service history, especially from official Scania workshops, provides assurance of proper maintenance and can significantly increase the vehicle's resale value.
