Scania Group Press Release  /  August 29, 2016

Scania has introduced a new top model to its range of truck cabs, in the form of the S-series. Featuring a completely flat floor and maximised interior space, the S-series is the clear choice for those customers and drivers with the highest demands for space, ergonomics and living comfort.

Regardless of which cab Scania customers choose under the new truck range, they’ll receive a more generous allowance of interior space than before. This is partly due to more efficient packing of components and the fact that the interior of the cabs have become a little over 65 mm longer, but also because ceiling heights in general have been increased in the new generation.

”The ceiling of the new normal roof height ceiling is 10 centimetres higher than previously,” says Kristofer Hansén, Head of Scania’s Styling and Industrial Design division. “And the higher roof variants are even more spacious, with a difference in ceiling height of 16 centimetres. This, of course, will be especially appreciated by those who both live and work in their vehicles.”

Totally flat floor

Sitting at the top of the new truck generation is the new S-cab, which both internally and externally feels like The Biggest.

With its totally flat floor and maximised interior space, the truck is the obvious choice for the most demanding customers and drivers.

“We’ve observed how perspectives are constantly changing and how our customers’ demands are increasing,” says Göran Hammarberg, Head of Cab Development at Scania. “Our new S-cab, without a doubt, puts everything that we have previously done in the shade in terms of factors such as comfort, storage, spaciousness, ergonomics and field of vision.”

Hammarberg continues, “A user-friendly and ergonomically shaped set of four boarding  steps leads up to a workplace that we believe will be loved by every driver who gets the chance to try it.”

Best conditions for sleeping

The storage facilities have been expanded with a particular focus on volume and accessibility. The cabin space has been thought through, down to the smallest detail. A wide variety of flexible options regarding storage boxes, shelves, hooks and nets can be chosen, depending on the type of cab, bed choice and other specific needs.

The options for choosing a bed are particularly extensive. Both the under and optional upper mattress can be specified in different configurations and performance steps according to individual needs and comfort requirements. In the S-cab, two 80-centimetre beds can be specified, the lower of which can be extended to 100 centimetres.

All beds are equipped with Scania’s most advanced mattresses, and in two driver operation comfortable and wide beds are available for both drivers.

The spacious S-cab is also equipped with extra insulation, and right down to the smallest detail offers extremely well thought-out, comfortable solutions that create the best possible conditions for a good night’s sleep. The flat floor in the S-cab, meanwhile, makes it easy to move about in the cab.

Messaging system

As part of the new truck generation, Scania has expanded its investment in connected vehicles, with services that make life simpler for both drivers and transport companies. A messaging ­system connects the truck directly with fleet management at the fleet operator’s office. Drivers receive assignments, routing information, and pickup and drop-off addresses via a 7-inch touch screen, which also provides infotainment and camera support. The ability to use voice commands to operate the system means that drivers need not take their eyes off the road.

“The truck range that we’re now presenting is the result of the work of thousands of people and a very large investment over a number of years,” says Hammarberg. ”We are extremely proud over the results and just dying to tell you in detail about all the new solutions and services for prospective customers.”
