Scania kopen

What should you look out for with a used Scania?

With a used Scania, service history matters even more than with a passenger car: always ask for the maintenance logbooks, the mileage, and the number of engine hours, since a truck that has spent a lot of time idling with the engine running may show more wear than the odometer suggests. Also check the condition of the gearbox (manual or Opticruise), the tyre tread, any rust on the chassis, and the Euro emission class, which determines whether you can enter certain low-emission zones in city centres. A valid APK (MOT/TÜV) and a recent maintenance report offer the best assurance of the vehicle's true condition.

Which Scania suits your application?

Scania categorises its trucks by use: the P-series is compact and manoeuvrable, making it suitable for distribution and construction traffic in the city; the G-series is a versatile mid-range model for mixed use; and the R- and S-series are built for long distances with a spacious, comfortable cab. If you're looking for a Scania as a tractor unit for international transport, you'll want a tractor unit with a fifth wheel; if you need a chassis-cab for a tipper, crane, or box-body build, the required payload and axle configuration determine which version you need. When making your enquiry, always indicate the type of work the truck will be used for, so that the right model and the right body come together.

Driving licence C/CE and code 95: what do you need?

A Scania truck falls into the heavy commercial vehicle category: to drive one you need at least a category C licence, and a CE licence if you're pulling a trailer or semi-trailer over 750 kilos. If you use the truck professionally for commercial transport, code 95 (the five-yearly refresher training) is also mandatory, and the vehicle must be fitted with a registered tachograph. If you're unsure whether your licence and plans match up with a Scania, check with the RDW or your driving school before scheduling a viewing, so there are no surprises.

Buying or financial leasing: what's smarter for your business?

For an investment like a Scania truck, the choice between buying and financial lease often determines your liquidity. With financial lease, capital stays available within your business, for example for staff or fuel, and financing up to 100% of the purchase value is possible with a term of up to 72 months — even as a start-up or sole trader. If you buy the truck outright, you have no monthly obligation and become full owner immediately, which is attractive if you have sufficient working capital. Do you have an old commercial vehicle standing around? It can be traded in at purchase, which lowers the investment.
