• The first 375kW (500hp) Scania R143 to be sold has gone into service with Pickering haulier D&S Walker. The 6x2 tag-axle tractor with the aerodynamic Streamline cab is a Centurion: the limited-edition high-spec tractor that was launched for Scania's centenary.
Walker's truck was ordered in April, soon after Scania announced that its first 375kW model would be available in the UK. It is liveried in pearlescent white and silver blue. Walker has acquired the registration number J500 DSW.
It joins a fleet of seven Scanias and Volvos carrying magazines and paper products south in Boalloy Insuliner tri-axle curtainsider trailers, and returning with fruit and vegetables from the Channel Isles.
