Swedish truck maker unveils all-new model

Swedish truck maker Scania just took the wraps off a 10-year, $2.39 billion effort to create a new family of cabover trucks – the first truly ground-up “new” truck introduced by the OEM since 1995. These heavy-duty commercial vehicles will be launched first in Europe and then in other global markers in five distinct “phases,” Scania said, with a primary focus on the long-haul transportation market. The OEM added that its new truck line boosts fuel economy by 5% via a range of factors, especially new and improved powertrains and better aerodynamics. (All photos courtesy of Scania)
