Chronology
Predecessor Scania OmniCity
Scania OmniLink

The Scania Citywide is a series of complete buses introduced by Scania AB in 2011,[1] replacing the Scania OmniCity and OmniLink in left-hand-drive markets. The series shares front styling details with the Scania Touring coach, while most of the design is a simple facelift from OmniCity/OmniLink.

Citywide LE

The Scania Citywide LE (CK) is a longitudinally-engined low-entry intercity bus based on the Scania K-series chassis, introduced in 2011 to replace the Scania OmniLink. This bus is not entirely low-floor, although it does contain a low entrance and low floor area at the front of the bus; it is intended for quieter intercity or suburban routes. It is available as a two- or tri-axle (CK UB) between 12.0 and 14.8 metres, and as an articulated bus (CK UA) at 18.1 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LEA.

In 2013, Scania started testing the Citywide LE as a hybrid-powered bus, and in 2014 both the 12.0-metre two-axle and the 14.8-metre tri-axle were introduced in hybrid versions.[2][3]

For the Nordic markets, Scania released in 2014 an in-house competitor to the Citywide LE with the Finnish-built Scania OmniExpress 3.20 LE.

Citywide LF

The Scania Citywide LF (CN) is a transverse-engined low-floor city bus based on the Scania N-series chassis, introduced in 2011 to replace the Scania OmniCity. This bus is entirely low-floor and is intended for intense inner-city services. It is available as a two-axle (CN UB) between 10.9 and 12.0 metres and as an articulated bus (CN UA) at 18.0 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LFA.

Citywide LFDD

In 2014, Scania received the order for delivery of double-deckers to Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), resulting in the Scania Citywide LFDD (CN UD),[4] with the first being delivered in February 2015.[5]
