And that has helped to raise residual values for entry-level P/R-Series motors.
It's EGR for the P/R-Series 9.0 and 11.7-litre engine for fleet operators, with a broad range of engines, cabs and gearboxes. There is still a market for the P-cab but the RSeries takes control here.
The specs listed are the likely options available. However, thanks to its modular build, in theory you can have a Topline or HIghline cab on a 9.0-litre engine. In the main, the R-Series with the 420hp engine is the bread-and-butter option and its torque levels, not to mention the Scania name, make it a viable contender. It might, though, be more cost-effective to cut down on the options.
