like the R-Series; it handles and feels pretty close to it too. We reckon UK drivers will appreciate the extra space in the new day cab and the extra low-down torque from the nine-litre engine.
This is a revamp, not a new cab, so issues such as poor legroom in right-hookers and lack of cross-cab manoeuvrability remain, though we accept that these are not make-or-break shortcomings. Only time will tell if the short cab is binned, but we think it should be simply because it feels so small compared with the new day cab. The Pepsi Challenge between Euro-4 and Euro-3 engines proved nothing, so unless it hits the operator at the pumps we applaud a swift move to the latest emissions levels.
The T-Series will doubtless continue to entice those with the money to indulge themselves, but pending a relaxation in length restrictions it will remain nothing more than a show pony.
Scania's revamp was long overdue. But unlike the MAN TGA or, the king of revolutions, the Mercedes-Benz Actros, it's no great leap forward. Just more of the same— predictable, reliable and desirable.
