The G Series is a the smaller cabbed heavyweight truck from Scania. Often used as a tractor unit in high payload operations over shorter distances where the larger R Series cab is not required. The G Series is at home configured as a curtainsider or box truck for local distribution. As a premium truck brand, the Scania G450 makes an ideal chassis for building expensive plant bodies on- often with cranes. For the smaller cab day cab operation, such as for 8 wheel tippers, then consider the Scania P Series. As a premium truck brand the model finds itself kitted with expensive bodies in the used truck market – you won’t see many box vans with a one underneath, but you will see crane trucks, hookloaders and tippers powered by a G Series. Most popular of the power outputs appears to be the 450hp G450 followed by the G410.

With the Highways Agency effectively postponing further Smart Motorway schemes, the decision was made to dispose of the UK…
The problem with the UK’s popular 6x2 tractor unit configuration is that there is a restricted amount of room on the chassis to mount anything over and above the normal tanks and exhausts. Making a 6x2 tractor unit LNG powered is an issue as the tanks needed for long distance operation take up more room than their diesel equivalents. Unlike diesel versions, the LNG-powered trucks will usually have to return to base to refuel rather than topping up where needed in an emergency. So the fact that Scania has managed to launch a LNG 6x2 is impressive – note the…
