No longer the new boy. the P-series is now an established player in the Scania Compared with P-cabbed versions of the old range, the new model has addressed many of the driver criticisms. Improved driving position, more space in the footwell and general ergonomic improvements take the Pseries toward the top of the league. The new five-cylinder engine, which replaces the old six-pot 9.0-litre unit, with power ratings of 230,270 and 310hp is proving to be an impressive perforrner.
The distribution sector is the natural environment for the P-series 4x2 and 6x2 rigids. with backup from rigid versions of the highermounted R-Series for drawbar or long-distance applications with ratings up to 420hp from the 12-litre Scania engine. The high engine hump in the P-series restricts cross-cab access slightly, though the cab is well arranged and the driver has a good view of the road and an assured feeling when driving in traffic. The steering set-up is good and despite having a full-width cab, the truck is easy to manoeuvre in town.
