The Scania V8 engine is coupled with great characteristics such as excellent drivability, outstanding Total Operating Economy and refined vehicle handling and maneuvering qualities. A pioneer by itself, Scania R 580 is set to redefine the truck industry in India.

The Scania P 410 8x4 tipper is an existing product which will now be equipped with 20 cu m rock body developed by one of the world?s leading producer of high strength steel, SSAB.

Also, the complete tipper is significantly lower in weight than current offerings in the market, and with the increased load carrying capacity the customer gets a significantly higher productivity.
