MODELS TESTED/PUBLISHED: P340 CB 8x4 30 June 2005 P114 CB 8x4 380 26 June 2003 P380 03 8x4 18 May2006 One of the three truck manufacturers that have enjoyed a monopoly in the tipper market, it has survived challenges from new-look models coming through unscathed and unaltered, While it's predominantly a P-Series market, the R-Series is also available for tipper operators.

Scania has now added the GSeries go-between truck for people who need more living space than the P without the height of the R.

Kerbweight at the top end is not for the faint-hearted on tight margins, but the strong residuals of the 11.7-litre EGR make it worthwhile. There are eight cabs, from the day to the Highline and Topline options.

Scania offers EGR Euro-4 for its standard 11.7-litre model and SCR for its 15.6-litre.

At the RAI show it also took the wraps off its new Euro-5 line-up, running from 230-480hp.
