View on GoogleBuy new and used Scania lorries, tractor units and generators – a wide selection direct from specialist dealers. Here you’ll find Scania vehicles in the categories of lorries over 7.5 t, tractor units and tippers, as well as units fitted with Scania diesel engines under ‘Power Generators’ – each listing includes the year of manufacture, power output, emissions standard and specifications. Supplied by Infa Nutzfahrzeuge in Dettelbach and Kraus Baumaschinen in Frankenthal; stock is constantly changing. Scania builds the lorries entirely in-house, whereas for generator sets it only manufactures the engine – the finished generator set comes from a specialist generator set manufacturer.
Scania at a glance
Scania has two origins: in 1891, Vagnfabriks-Aktiebolaget i Södertälje (Vabis) was founded in Södertälje as a manufacturer of railway carriages, whilst in 1900, the company Scania was established in Malmö, initially building bicycles. In 1911, the two companies merged to form Scania-Vabis; its headquarters remain in Södertälje, south of Stockholm, to this day. Since January 2015, Scania has been wholly owned by the Volkswagen Group and is part of the commercial vehicle holding company TRATON, which also includes MAN. In 2025, Scania delivered 94,073 vehicles, generated a turnover of 198.5 billion Swedish kronor and employed more than 50,000 people in over 100 countries. Production takes place in Södertälje, Zwolle in the Netherlands, Angers in France, São Bernardo do Campo (Brazil), Tucumán (Argentina) and, since October 2025, in Rugao, China.
The brand’s hallmark is its modular system: cabs, engines, gearboxes and axles are combined from a modular range. In 2004, the range featuring the P, R and T cabs (and the G cab from 2007 onwards) replaced the previous 4 Series; in 2016, the current generation was launched with the S Series, featuring a flat cab floor. The engines range from a 9-litre five-cylinder to a 16-litre V8 with up to 770 PS. Scania also supplies industrial, marine and power generation engines (DC09, DC13, DC16) – 9,240 units were delivered in 2025.

What the Scania model designation reveals
Since the mid-2000s, the model designation has followed a simple pattern: cab series + engine power, rounded to the nearest ten PS. The letter denotes the cab – L for urban transport with a low entry height, P for distribution and construction site transport, G as an all-rounder, R for long-haul transport, S for long-haul transport with a flat cab floor, T for the discontinued bonneted models. An R 450 is therefore a long-haul lorry with around 450 PS, a P 280 a distribution lorry with around 280 PS. With older Scania models up to 2004, the system was different: in designations such as R 124 or P 114, the first digits refer to the engine capacity in litres (12 or 11 l respectively), whilst the last digit indicates the model series (4-series); an R 164, for example, has the 16-litre V8. The wheel configuration, suspension and cab size are specified in the advert.
| Model | Specifications | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| R 450 | 13-litre six-cylinder, around 450 PS | Scania’s best-selling model: articulated lorry for long-haul transport, including tanker and silo lorries |
| R 500 / S 500 | 13 l, around 500 PS, S with flat floor | Long-distance haulage with high trailer weights |
| R 410 / R 420 / R 460 | around 410–460 PS | Long-haul transport, swap body |
| R 580 / R 730 | 16-litre V8, approx. 580 or 730 PS | Heavy haulage, timber, low-loader |
| G 410 / G 450 | 13 l, around 410–450 PS | Regional transport, tippers, crane lorries |
| P 280 / P 320 / P 360 | approx. 280–360 PS, short cab | Distribution vehicles, municipal vehicles, light tippers |
| R 124 / P 114 (Series 4) | 12 or 11 litres, up to 2004 | Older tippers and tractor units |
| Engine with DC13 / DC16 | 13 l or 16 l V8 | Generators and emergency power in the medium to large kVA range |
What we look for in a used Scania
Engine and emissions standard: Verifiable maintenance history is crucial: check the service history book, oil change intervals, cold start performance, smoke emissions and, for Euro 6 vehicles, the condition of the SCR system and particulate filter. The emissions standard determines toll charges and access to low-emission zones.
Gearbox and retarder: Many Scania vehicles are fitted with the Opticruise automated gearbox, often with crawler gears for use on construction sites. Test drive to check starting under load, smooth gear changes and a functioning retarder.
Cab, chassis and bodywork: Check for rust on cab mountings, access steps and the chassis; assess the condition of the air suspension, fifth-wheel coupling and bodywork. For tanker and silo vehicles, ensure you are provided with the inspection intervals and documentation for the bodywork.
Generator sets with Scania engines: operating hours, maintenance history, condition of the alternator and switchgear, and load testing. Check that the power output in kVA, voltage and frequency match your requirements, and note down the generator set manufacturer and engine type from the type plate.

Frequently asked questions about Scania
What do R 450 or P 280 mean in the context of Scania?
The letter denotes the cab series (L, P, G, R, S), whilst the number indicates the engine power rounded to the nearest ten PS. An R 450 is therefore a long-haul lorry with around 450 PS, whilst a P 280 is a distribution lorry with around 280 PS.
What do R 124 or P 114 mean for older Scania models?
For the 4-series models up to 2004, the first digits indicate the engine capacity in litres and the last digit indicates the model series. An R 124 therefore has a 12-litre engine, whilst an R 164 has a 16-litre V8. The power output is usually indicated after this.
Which Scania models are most commonly traded on the second-hand market?
On the major second-hand vehicle portals, the R series leads by a wide margin, with the R 450 and R 500 in the lead, followed by the R 580, R 410 and R 460. Among distribution lorries, the P 280, P 320 and G 410 are common.
What is the difference between the R and S series?
Both are long-haul cabs. The S-series, introduced in 2016 at the launch of the current generation, has a flat cab floor without an engine tunnel and therefore offers more space. Technically, both use the same engines and powertrains.
Who owns Scania?
Scania has been wholly owned by the Volkswagen Group since 2015 and is part of the TRATON GROUP, which also includes MAN. Its headquarters and largest factory are located in Södertälje, Sweden.
Does Scania also manufacture generator sets?
Scania manufactures engines – the DC09, DC13 and the V8 DC16 – for power generation, industrial applications and ships. The complete generator set, comprising the generator, control unit and housing or container, is manufactured by generator set manufacturers. When it comes to spare parts, therefore, both the engine type and the generator set manufacturer are important.
How many kilometres is acceptable for a second-hand Scania?
Long-haul articulated lorries often clock up high mileage; provided they have been fully serviced, this is not a deal-breaker. More important than the mileage figure itself are service records, the condition of the engine, gearbox and cab, and a thorough test drive.
Can I lease a Scania or finance it via hire purchase?
For many listings, you can submit a no-obligation leasing or hire-purchase enquiry directly. You can discuss the terms with the dealer or their finance partner; the purchase and payment are arranged directly between you and the seller.
