This Scania G-series 6x2R model is a mainstay in long-haul logistics transportation, offering a significant price advantage over the R and S series models.
To meet the needs of various long-haul transport operations, the G-series comes with 2 cab options: Highline and Normal. The Highline cab provides better comfort and living space, making it more suitable for long-distance hauling.
First, the liftable tag axle reduces wear and lowers fuel consumption when unladen. Second, the air suspension system features load transfer functionality, improving the traction of this single-drive axle model under special road conditions such as snow, ice, or rain.
Scania Pneumatic Trailer:
This type of transport vehicle typically features a lightweight body design with a standard tank volume of 27.5 cubic meters and a length between 9.16 and 10 meters, as designed by the body builder. As shown in the image, the height of the air deflector has been adjusted to standard height based on actual transport needs.
Although the vehicle does not come equipped with more visually appealing side skirts, a simple metal guardrail is visible on the outer side of the fuel tank.
Scania’s fuel economy offers a major advantage under the current 49-ton gross vehicle weight regulation. The towed standard trailer features a short wheelbase and low drag coefficient, making it ideal for transport. It is reported that the trailer weighs 7.8 tons, and the tractor unit weighs 8.8 tons, which means that under the 49-ton total weight limit, it can carry about 30 tons of bulk powder material.
Transporting powdered materials requires careful attention. It is essential to assign qualified drivers, not only for safe cargo delivery, but also for routine vehicle inspections, particularly monitoring easily damaged components like the bumper.
The Scania G450 pneumatic trailer has officially entered service, and its application is steadily expanding from well-established expressway logistics into construction transportation sectors with higher demands, marking a steady step forward in Scania’s development.
