The P-Series range took an important leap forward in 2006 with an improved driving position and a number of ergonomic enhancements. Now a new Hi ghline version is set to extend Its appeal still further.
The five-cylinder engine, with power ratings of 230, 270 and 310hp, is proving to be an impressive performer.
The distributor sector is the natural environment for the P-Series 4x2 and 6x2 rigids, with backup from rigid versions of the highermounted R-Series for drawbar or long-distance applications with ratings up to 420hp from a 12-lltre Scania engine. The high engine hump in the P Series restricts cross-cab access, although the cab is otherwise well arranged and the driver has a good view of the road and an assured feeling when drying in traffic.
The steering set-up is good and despite having a full-width cab the truck is pretty easy to manoeuvre in town.
