At the RAI exhibition "Europahal 01.003" in Amsterdam, Scania puts the focus on the truck driver, driver competence and driver support.

Scania’s extended cab concept from the IAA exhibition in September 2002 – Scania Longline -  is now a production reality. The high-roof Topline cab has been extended by 1,300 mm to the rear to create a vast living area behind the driver.

Scania’s new styling concept, shown as a scale model, incorporates a crash-zone at the front of the vehicle to provide extra protection for other vehicles in case of a frontal collision. The crash-zone has the potential of saving 900 lives per year on European roads.

New components and systems for the construction market are presented.

Scania presents its complete range of re-packaged and extended fleet management services. The services on offer include tracking, zone alarm, messaging, positioning, vehicle trip data and various reports for monitoring and follow-up.

On display is also a representative selection of vehicles marketed on the European market.

Discussions will be held between the winners from Young European Truck Driver 2003 and young Scania product planners and R&D engineers.
