Scania 113H v1.0
The Scania 113H is a heavy-duty truck that was part of the Scania 3-series, a popular and robust truck line produced by the Swedish manufacturer from 1987 to 1998. The “H” in its name stands for “High,” indicating its high-chassis, high-cab configuration. This design was particularly well-suited for long-haul transport and heavy-duty applications.
Key Characteristics and Specifications
Engine: The 113H was typically powered by a Scania DSC11 engine, a six-cylinder inline diesel engine with a displacement of 11.0 liters (11,020 cc). It came in various horsepower outputs, with common options being 320 hp and 360 hp.
Chassis and Cab: The “H” designation means it had a higher ground clearance and a more spacious, high-mounted cab, which provided better visibility and a more comfortable ride for the driver, especially on long journeys. The cab had a flat floor and was often equipped with a sleeper berth.
Transmission: It was commonly paired with a 10-speed manual gearbox with a crawler gear.
Axle Configuration: The 113H was available in different axle configurations, such as 4×2 for standard haulage and 6×4 for heavier or off-road applications. The rear axle often had a differential lock to improve traction.
Durability and Legacy: The Scania 113H is renowned for its durability and reliability. Even today, it remains a common sight on roads in many parts of the world, particularly in South America and parts of Europe, where it is highly valued for its simple, mechanical design that is easy to maintain and repair.
