The Scania 2-series is a truck model range introduced in 1980 by Swedish truck manufacturer Scania. It is the successor of the 1-series. The 2-series came in a range of different engine sizes and horsepower from 8.0 litres to a 14 litre V8 engine. Production of the 2-series was stopped after the 3-series were introduced in 1987. The range was first shown in the spring of 1980 as the bonneted T-series (for "Torpedo", not to be confused with the 2004 T-series).[2] The cabin, also featuring an all-new interior, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.[1] The 2-series was also manufactured by Scania's Brazilian operations, beginning in 1982. In 1984, the 9 litre "92" series was added.
Letter suffixes M, H, or E, relate to frame/suspension ratings - "medium", "heavy", or "extra-heavy" duty.[1] Prefixes used are as follows:
- G - rigidly mounted short, low cab
- P - suspended low cab, short or long (single berth)
- R - high cab, short or long (double berth)
- T - bonneted cab, short or long (double berth)
Bonneted model (T)
At the time of introduction, the 2-series "T" was available with either a 8, 11, or 14 litre engine. These were denoted 82, 112, or 142.[1]
