Scania 4-series

The Scania 4-series is a truck range that Scania introduced in 1995 as the successor to the 3-series. It was sold with five engine combinations, three cabs and four chassis types, with engine sizes of 9, 11, 12, 14 and 16 litres, the 12 and 16 litre units being new to the family. The model name encodes the engine size and generation, so a 14 litre engine in the 4-series makes a 144, while a letter gives the chassis type (L, D, C or G) and a three digit number the horsepower, from 220 to 580. The styling moved from square, lined shapes to round, curved ones, and the grille was split so that its lower part folds down as a step for cleaning the windows. The PRT-range replaced it in Europe in 2005, though Brazil kept building it until 2007.
