SCANIA claims that its 6X2 has proved the best selling tri-axle unit for 38 tonnes in the first full year of 38 tonne operation in the UK, taking almost one third of all 6x2 registrations. "With total sales of almost 600 units, Scania has beaten its nearest rivals by more than 150 vehicles." said a Scania spokesman.
The 38 tonne three-axle market for the year represented 17.6% of total articulated vehicle registrations. Since the beginning of this year the figure 'has been constantly in excess of 20%.
Scania maintains that its third lifting axle offers the most benefits to the operator. Light weight, greater simplicity and therefore lower cost, plus weight distribution have influenced the operators choice, maintains the importer.
