Scania-Vabis L55

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Scania-Vabis L55, L56 and L66 were medium to heavy trucks built by the Swedish firm Scania-Vabis between 1959 and 1968. They followed the L75 of 1958, the first of a new generation with newly designed six-cylinder engines, stronger chassis parts and a roomier cab that stayed in use on conventional trucks until 1980. The smaller L55 of the summer of 1959 had a seven-litre engine and a trailing axle version called the LS55, and all had air brakes with power steering optional. The L56 of autumn 1962 brought an eight-litre engine and dual circuit brakes. The L66 of spring 1963 paired the strong L76 chassis with the smaller L56 engine and was meant mainly for export.
