Scania Concrete Pump Trucks

Scania makes it easy to configure its G-series, P-series, and XT-series models as concrete pump trucks by offering chassis with pre-drilled mounting holes, the Scania Bodywork Communication Interface for seamless integration, and power take-off. These trucks are available with V8 engines ranging from 9 to 16 litres of displacement and can take advantage of the Scania Opticruise transmission, which is well-suited for operating in urban environments thanks to its automatic clutch.
