Is the P 94 D something different or something that should be named the same way? |

When Scania replaced the rather complicated L, LS, LT, LBT, LBFS etc. system of the 70's with a newer one, they chose to only name the cabin as of the prefix http://www.scania.com/group/en/1980-2/ . G was used for a small COE cabin mounted low on the chassis. It was mainly used for transport of small items around towns. P was used for a slightly bigger COE cabin. It was used for transport of garbage, the fire service used it a lot, but also for transport of slightly bigger items around towns. R was used for long distance haulage, also equiped with a COE cabin, albeit slightly bigger. T was used if equiped with a hood/bonnet. The prefix was never shown on the bonnet, as was neither the L, LS, LBS etc. In the beginning the suffix told how tough the chassis were, M for Medium duty, H for Heavy duty, and E for Extra Heavy duty. The numbers in between those letters told the size (in litres) of the engine and the last digit is a series nuber. Hence R 142 H means a long distance HGV with a 14 litre engine from the early 80's, while a R 142 E would have had a crane on a trailer. I don't know what D stands for, but it should have a P as prefix. -- Last edit: 2016-06-12 09:03:57 |

The 4-series designations explained by Scania: L mostly high-mileage highway operation at gross weights up to 60 tonnes. D mostly low-mileage urban operation at up to 36 tonnes C mostly low mileage on- or off-road requiring high ground clearance and good mobility at up to 150 tonnes G low-to-high mileage haulage on sub-standard roads at up to 150 tonnes (Links to examples added by me) Edit: Dead link -- Last edit: 2016-06-12 11:54:44 |

Thanks for the explanations. I've renamed all 94 D to P 94 D now. |
