Scania K series

The Scania K series is a family of city bus and coach chassis with a longitudinally mounted, upright engine at the rear. It replaced the K-type chassis (K94, K114, K124) and the L-type chassis (L94) of the 4 series, was first shown at Busworld 2005 in Kortrijk, Belgium, and was available from 2006. A type designation encodes where an integral bus was assembled, the power in horsepower, the transport type (coach, intercity, urban or hybrid), the body adaptation and the wheel layout, so a K230UB4x2LB is a two-axle low-entry city bus. At launch it came with Euro IV 8.9 litre five-cylinder and 11.7 litre six-cylinder engines of 230 to 470 hp, and upgraded Euro V engines followed in 2008.
