FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why choose the Scania P over the Mercedes Actros rigid?

The P-Series typically commands a premium vs the Actros. The premium is partially justified by stronger residual values, which reduce the whole-life cost gap. For operators who trade trucks regularly, the residual advantage is significant.

What is the difference between the Scania P, G and R?

P-cab: most compact, lowest cab. G-cab: mid-height, most popular for rigid and regional tractor work. R-cab: highest cab, most space - preferred for long-haul. P-Series rigids typically use the P or G cab.

Can I get a Scania P-Series on contract hire?

Yes. Scania offers operating lease (contract hire) through Scania Financial Services, often bundled with Scania Platinum maintenance. We compare their total cost against independent arrangements.

Are Scania trucks worth the premium over Atego or LF at rigid?

Many operators argue yes, particularly those who trade frequently. Scania's residuals at 18t and 26t are demonstrably stronger than most competitors. The whole-life cost calculation often narrows the premium significantly.
