P-Seri es is now an established player in the Scania line-up, Compared with P-cab bed versions of the old range, the new model has addressed many of the driver criticisms. Improved driving position, more space in the footwell and general ergonomic improvements take the P Series toward the top of the league. The new five-cylinder engine, with power ratings of 230hp. 270hp and 310hp is proving an impressive performer.
The distribution sector is the natural environment for the PSeries 4x2 and 6x2 rigids. High engine hump in P Series restricts cross-cab access, though the cab is otherwise well arranged and the driver has a good view of the road.
The steering set-up is good and despite having a full-width cab, the truck is easy to manoeuvre in town.
