TheScania PRT-range (also known asScania LPGRS-range orScania PGRT-range),[1] also referred to asnew truck range orScania's truck range, is the current range of trucks produced by the Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturerScania. It was first introduced as the successor to the4-series on 31 March 2004 with the highforward control cabScania R-series, followed by the low forward control cabScania P-series and bonneted cabScania T-series on 20 August 2004. The bonneted model was discontinued in October 2005. On 5 September 2007 theScania G-series, a medium forward control cab was introduced and was derived from the R-series. The entire range is modular, giving a wide range of different configurations for different types of trucks. The trucks are available with engines ranging from a 9-litreI5 to a 16-litreV8, with the V8 only being available in the higher model. A second generation launched in August 2016, first was theScania S-series being the first flat-floor model. In December 2017, a low-entry version of the second generation, theScania L-series, also launched.

The range was first launched with the R-series on 31 March 2004, replacing the R94, R114, R124, R144, and R164 of the 4-series. It had 65 percent of the same components as its predecessors, but with a new cab design, new interior and other technical improvements. Full-scale production started inSödertälje (Sweden) in April,Zwolle (the Netherlands) in May and inAngers (France) in June. At launch it was available withEuro III engines, but with a 420 hp Euro IV engine available from September.[3] On 20 August, the P- and T-series were launched too, completing the new truck range and replacing the rest of the 4-series models. The new models made their public debut at theIAA commercial vehicle show inHanover in late September.[4] Production of the 4-series was continued at the Scania Latin America plant inSão Bernardo do Campo (Brazil), but was from October 2004 relaunched as theSérie Evolução (Evolution Series), featuring the new engines of the PRT-range and the same new model designation, but with the old 4-series cabs.[5][6]
In October 2005, Scania decided to discontinue the bonneted T-series, having lost its market share over the years. Over the last decade the sales had been halved in Europe and gone down 90 percent in Latin America. In 2004, fewer than 1,000 bonneted Scania trucks were sold worldwide, meaning there was no longer a market for it.[7] In late 2006, Scania launched a new low-entry version of the P-series cab, known as the CP19E, specially intended forgarbage trucks, where the driver needs to get in and out quickly.[8] This cab was targeted as a competitor to theMercedes-Benz Econic.
On 5 September 2007, Scania launched the all-new G-series, with a cab height between the P-series and the R-series. It should not be confused with the old G cab of the2- and3-series, which was even lower than the P cab, nor with the G chassis of the 4-series (i.e. 94G).[9] On 9 October 2007, the new range was also launched in Latin America, featuring all three P-, G- and R-series from the start.[10] In April 2008, Scania unveiled their first ethanol-powered (ED95) trucks, having manufactured ethanol-powered buses for nearly two decades.[11]
On 17 September 2009, an upgraded R-series was launched with many new features including a sharper exterior styling with larger grille openings,[12] new interior details including the possibility of a factory-installed coffeemaker,[13] new version of the Scania Opticruise gear system with automatic clutch[14] and a driver support system.[15] The G-series received the upgrade shortly afterwards, and the P-series during 2011. In 2014 the front air filters G & R - Series were given a redesign
In April 2010, Scania launched a new version of itsV8 engine, allowing a maximum output of 730 hp (537 kW) and 3,500 N⋅m (2,581 lb⋅ft) while preparing for the future Euro VI emission requirements.[16] The new R 730 then became the most powerful large-scale production truck in the world,[citation needed] only to be surpassed by theVolvo FH16 750 (750 hp, 3550 N·m) in September 2011.
In March 2013, Scania launched the newStreamline versions for R-series and G-series, featuring engines complying withEuro 6 regulations and aerodynamic improvements for lower fuel consumption.[17]
TheSpecial Edition was a special edition based on Scania's range of trucks for the South American market (especially in Brazil), commemorating the 60 years of Scania Brasil.[18] Inspired by the Brazilian-builtScania 3-series T113 bonneted truck from 1991, the special edition R series features an emblematic blue-sky colour which a combination of pink, lilac and purple from the previous T113. There were two options for the special edition, the Classic package featuring xenon headlamps, refrigerator compartment, and the package which adds polished aluminium wheels, steering wheel and leather seats. Sales commenced in July 2017.

Since Scania signed a deal withPorsche Engineering in August 2010, a completely new truck cab has been in development, known as a next generation.[19] From early 2014, several masked prototypes have been spotted on roads in Sweden,[20][21] Spain[22] and Norway.[23][24] It was officially launched at theGrand Palais in Paris on 23 August 2016.[25] The launch included new R-seriessleeper cab[26] and the all-new S-series sleeper cab[27] which offers a flat interior floor. Other cab heights, including R-series day cab, of the new generation will have a later launch. The first display of the new generation to a public audience occurred at theElmia Lastbil fair inJönköping, on 24 August.[28] The second generation range features two touchscreen infotainment systems. The Base package has a 5-inch resolution, and the Premium package has a bigger, 7-inch resolution. In April 2017, the Premium package now supports for the first time –Apple CarPlay.[29]
The low-entry version called the L series was added to the lineup in December 2017.
Plug-in Hybrid and Fully-electric models were introduced in 2020.[30]
Introduced in September 2017, theScania XT[31] is sold in multiple configurations. Apart from its standard model, the XT features a steel bumper with which extended up to 150 millimetres, a protection shield, a towing device, high air intake and replaced standard side mirrors with reinforced ribbed rear view mirrors. It is certified for 40 tonnes, while enabling to pull other vehicles and equipmentaaaa as well as to be towed when needed. Optional include an electronic braking system (EBS) with discs or drums, new two-leaf parabolic front springs and enlarged wheel housings to accommodate larger than normal wheel/tyre combinations, can be specified together with two different vertical exhaust stack options. The XT can also have touchscreen infotainment systems. Deliveries began in late 2017.

Based on the P-series and L-series of urban trucks, Scania adopted an electrification technology which was announced in September 2020.[30]
Hybrid: is a plug-in hybrid version combines the DC09 straight-5 diesel engine, supported by a single electric motor can run on HVO, biodiesel/FAME or diesel which makes 176 PS (129 kW; 174 hp) and 107.1 kg⋅m (1,050 N⋅m; 775 lb⋅ft).
Electric: is a battery-electric version uses a single motor which is capable a combined output of 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) and 224.3 kg⋅m (2,200 N⋅m; 1,622 lb⋅ft). Customers can also opt for either select five or nine batteries. The "25P" and "25L" (both, hence the name) for up to 250 kilometres (155 miles) using a single charge.
Scania use different model designations for different contexts. A simplified truck model designation is used for marketing and is visible in the grille. Another complete designation defines the characteristics of the chassis and the drivetrain, and a third designation defines the cab configuration.[35]
The simplified truck model name consists of the cab type and horsepower, divided by a space. Examples: R 730, G 440, P 270.
Approximation of the power rating in hp to the nearest ten. The power code has spaces on both sides.
Examples:
The cab type consists of C and the corresponding letter for the main cab type;CP,CG,CR andCT.
Interior distance between front and rear walls, measured indecimetres.
