Scania Series 2 was a truck series produced by the Swedish manufacturer Scania from 1980 . It replaced the Series 1 . In 1989 it was replaced by the Series 3. The Series 2 trucks were the first to have the steering wheel tilted backwards, which resulted in better ergonomics and, above all, more comfort when driving. Today this is a common construction method in truck construction.

Model history

T cab and H chassis

The series started at the beginning of 1980 as a T semitrailer tractor . T for Torpedo is Scania's name for the long- nosed cab. She was of Giorgetto Giugiaro from that of Italdesign designed Frontlenker been designed -Fahrerhaus the series second

The other models of the Series 2 followed later with the following cabs:

  • G short lowered cab
  • P short or long lowered cab
  • R high cabin long or short with double bed
  • T Long or long hood cab with double bed
R cab and H chassis

The cabins were mounted on 3 different chassis :

  • M: for distribution and regional transport
  • H: High rigidity, long-haul chassis
  • E: Double frame rails for heavy haulage and construction vehicles

Engine range

  • DS8 (Scania 82): 8-liter 6-cylinder diesel engine with turbocharger and 154 kW (210 PS)
  • DS11 (Scania 112): 11-liter 6-cylinder turbo diesel with 224 kW (305 hp)
  • DS14 (Scania 142): 14.2 liter V8 turbo diesel with 285 kW (388 PS), only for R and T cab

From 1983 also with charge air cooling , which improves the performance of the

  • DSI8: (based on DS8) with water-cooled charge air cooler to 170 kW (231 PS),
  • DSC11: (based on DS11) with air-cooled charge air cooler to 245 kW (333 PS) and
