Scania-Vabis L10

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Scania-Vabis L10, L40 and L51 Drabant were four-cylinder trucks built by the Swedish firm Scania-Vabis between 1944 and 1959. The L10 of 1944 was the first post-war model and the first Scania-Vabis truck with left hand drive. It used a four-cylinder version of the module engine introduced in the late 1930s, as a petrol or a pre-chamber diesel, and a four-wheel drive version was known as the F10. Rushed into production, the first post-war trucks suffered quality problems that cost the company money and reputation. In 1949 a direct injected diesel developed with Leyland Motors turned the truck into the L40, a synchronised five-speed gearbox followed in 1951, and in 1953 the L51 Drabant became the first Scania-Vabis truck to carry a proper name.
