NEW SCANIAS SPIED ON AUSSIE ROADS

Versions of Scania’s new generation heavy duty trucks have been spotted being tested on Australian roads.

Truck and Bus News has received photos of the New Truck Generation Scania prime movers identified in Australia fitted with Victoria number plates.

Several vehicles have apparently been seen hauling B-double and single trailers between Adelaide and Melbourne as well as Sydney and Melbourne.

The trucks are believed to include an R 620 V8, G 500 and G 450 models.

The Scanias were undisguised, which by our thinking is a smarter strategy tan adding messy camouflage that only attracts more attention to the vehicle. The truck is fitted with what appears to be a locally-supplied chromed bull bar.

If you’ve seen any of the new gen Scanias on the highway we would appreciate your reports and any photos.
