Chronology
Predecessor	Scania OmniCity Scania OmniLink

The Scania Citywide is a series of integral low-floor and low-entry buses introduced by Scania in 2011,^[1] replacing the Scania OmniCity and OmniLink, except in UK and Ireland, where Scania chose to rely on Alexander Dennis, Irizar and other local bodywork manufacturers instead. The series shares front styling details with the Scania Touring coach, while most of the design is a simple facelift from the OmniCity and OmniLink.

Scania Citywide LE

Citywide LE Hybrid rear.

The Scania Citywide LE (CK) is a longitudinally-engined low-entry city and 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- (CK UB4x2LB) or tri-axle (CK UB6x2*4LB) between 12.0 and 14.8 metres, and as an articulated bus (CK UA6x2/2LB) at 18.1 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LEA.

In 2013, Scania started testing the Citywide LE as a diesel-electric 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.

Scania 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 UB4x2EB) between 10.9 and 12.0 metres and as an articulated bus (CN UA6x2/2EB) at 18.0 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LFA.

Scania Citywide LFDD

In 2014, Scania received the order for delivery one double-decker to Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), resulting in the Scania Citywide LFDD (CN UD4x2EB),^[4] with the first being delivered in February 2015.^[5] The LFDD utilizes the new 6.7-litre DC07 engine, which is a rebranded Cummins ISB 6.7.
