Scania launches New Generation construction range
Hot on the heels of the New Generation prime movers, Scania has announced the XT range of trucks for the construction industryScania has launched its XT truck range, which the Swedish manufacturer says is tailor-made for the construction industry. “This industry is facing increasing demands for sustainable and cost-effective production. Each component in the complex construction logistics process must adapt to higher standards for efficiency and Scania XT is our contribution to this shift,” Scania’s President and CEO Henrik Henriksson said at the launch.
The new construction range is the second stage in Scania’s introduction of new generation trucks, the fruits of more than ten years of development with an investment exceeding EUR 2 billion.
A spokesman for Scania Australia said that we would see the XT range here following the launch of the New Generation prime movers, which we understand could be arriving late 2018.
Following an extensive analysis of the construction industry, Scania has developed a comprehensive range to meet the highly diverse transport assignments within the sector.
Scania XT will be offered with a full range of cab and engine specifications, from the smallest P-series cab to the spacious S-series cab. Customers can select engines with power outputs ranging from 280 to 730hp.
The introduction of the XT range by Scania marks the start of a targeted offensive with tailor-made solutions focused on demanding customers. “We are putting a higher emphasis on construction,” said Henriksson. “We now have the right products, the right services and the right skills to match Scania’s leading position in long-distance vehicles.
“The global construction industry continues to grow and Scania now presents enhanced tools to meet the demand,” says Henriksson. “We are well aware of the slim margins for many hauliers in this business and we have developed vehicles and solutions to ensure sustained profitability,” he concluded.
