Scania takes the next step in its premium cab offering by introducing the Longline cab into regular production flow. Building on a strong heritage and enabled by Scania’s modular system, the new cab will be offered as a low-volume, factory-certified solution for customers seeking extended space, comfort and flexibility.
The Longline cab combines Scania’s CrewCab and S-series high-roof cab to create a product that no other OEM currently offers from factory. The cab will be produced in Laxå, with chassis built in Södertälje.
“This is a natural evolution of a concept that has long been appreciated by customers,” says Lars Gustafsson, Head of Trucks, Scania. “With Longline, we combine heritage with modern industrialisation and offer a platform that can be tailored to individual needs.”
The Longline cab is designed as a flexible platform rather than a fully specified interior solution. From factory, it will be offered with a limited interior configuration behind the seats, including options such as a standard bed with storage or shelving – or a more open layout. The design focuses on clearly defined mounting points, enabling customers to design interiors according to their specific requirements.
“We simply don’t add things that aren’t needed, limiting waste in line with our sustainability targets,” says Samuel Suderbys, Managing Director at Scania’s operations in Laxå.
Many customers are expected to further personalise their vehicles through custom paint and interior solutions. To further support this, Scania will offer premium paint options of all automotive colours available in collaboration with a Swedish custom painter reducing lead times from delivery to operation.
