The visibility of Scania P-series tractors has become lower and lower as the model is updated and iterated. The earliest P-series tractors have created a world in the high-cost domestic logistics market with excellent cost performance. Users can put Scania into operation for less than tens of thousands of yuan, which was still very popular at that time.
But it doesn’t work anymore. The new P series are now more expensive than the G series, and the P series is becoming more and more unpopular after the market is divided. Of course, it is no longer popular. For this series of models Large-scale investment in road logistics (except for the transportation of hazardous chemicals), the latest version should be the so-called "5 Series" models, which are officially designated 2004-2010 tractors.
This batch of cars are generally Swedish models with the fifth from the bottom of the big shelf number at the beginning of the 5th. There are three different chassis forms, 4X2, 6X4 and 6X2R. The 4X2 chassis tractor I encountered recently. Its main job is to transport precision instruments.
In fact, many car owners like this kind of goods prefer to buy second-hand imported logistics vehicles. It is rumored that there is a rule in this industry that the use of imported vehicles is required to pull precision instruments. The rear axle must be reduced by airbags. Shock, so as to have a good protective effect on the goods. But imported cars are expensive. If you want to get back to the table and introduce new ones, it’s definitely not cost-effective. So there are many cases of buying second-hand cars. This Scania is the one to be discussed in this article.
The appearance of this model can be said to be a very modest one. The domestically introduced versions are almost all gray air intake grilles, which are not very outstanding in appearance, without the maturity of the 4 series and the later 6 The elegance of the line, even if it is a transitional model, but the quality of this model is still very good in user feedback.
Scania’s P-series cab is the smallest cab in logistics vehicles. It was also a good thing when the conditions were not very good, even though it was a four-point spring. Suspended cab, but at that time the comfort was better than that of many domestic heavy trucks. For example, the cab crashed and moved backwards, full-size air deflector, electrically adjustable rearview mirror, etc., which were all the more advanced configurations at that time.
The Griffin logo on the front cover has been baptized by wind and rain,The signs of the years have been printed. The car logo of this generation is still screwed to the air intake grille. In the later period, the NTG models are all equipped with adhesive backing and shoveled off.
At that time, the P series heavy trucks had a visible rear window at the back, which is generally not seen on the current European heavy trucks. The reason is to increase the overall strength of the cab, but it is considered P series models need to complete some relatively flexible tasks. The addition of rear windows can help to observe the rear vision. Therefore, many P series heavy trucks imported into China at that time were equipped with rear windows as standard.
The size of the cab is low, and getting on the car will not be as troublesome as a flat floor. It is easy to get on and off the car with two steps. Under the second step, there is a marker light. Follow the turn signal to face the following car at night Can play a very good role as a reminder.
Entering the cab, what you see is Scania's classic and familiar interior design. The second-generation embracing workbench can make the touch button operation no longer laborious. It is on the far right of the R-series workbench. There will also be multiple storage compartments in one column design, and modularity is in place.
The steering wheel adopts a four-frame design. Judging from the degree of breading, this car should be running a lot. The two buttons below are for controlling cruise control and the dashboard display. The function of the G-series version of the beggar is the same, that is, the location has changed.
The shape of the instrument panel has begun to transition to the new model. This instrument is a 6-series. This car can basically be determined as the last-generation transitional model. Compared with the previous asymmetric instrument design, this instrument Observability will be better.
The left and right rearview mirrors are all equipped with electric adjustment and electric heating. According to legend, a card friend said at the time: "Break a Scania mirror, 8000 on the left and 12000 on the right", the price may not be available At this point, it was really expensive at the time, and now I can buy more than 20 at Unixixihua 8000.
P series gears can be tilted back and forth,The overall penetration of the cab has been greatly improved, and it will definitely be inconvenient to move if it is always stuck on the floor.
The cab has a raised floor, and the floor directly reaches the height of the bottom of the workbench. It can be said that there is almost no activity space, which is enough to climb into the sleeper.
The width of the sleeper is not very wide. The Scania of this generation is not very wide, but the comfort of the mattress is relatively good.
looked at the nameplate, this car is still the last model, produced in 2010, you must know that the life of the 5 series is 2004 to 2010, this car is considered the latest batch, and then there will be new models. apparent.
It can be seen from the nameplate that the car's engine adopts Scania DC12 17 diesel direct injection engine, the machine is equipped with exhaust gas turbocharging and intercooling, single cylinder and single cover, and uses a central camshaft structure, because it is Euro III/ National III emission, so the high-pressure common rail is not used for fuel supply, but the traditional pump nozzle structure has been used. (It is still a pump nozzle in the fourth country)
The maximum output horsepower of the machine is 380 horsepower, the peak torque is 1900N.m, and the maximum torque output speed is 1300rpm. At present, it is not very suitable for long-distance and efficient logistics transportation, but it can pull some quality. Lighter precision instruments are more than enough.
The gearbox uses Scania's GR905 gearbox, adopts 8+1 gears, the shift sequence is up R13 and down C24, 1 to 4 gears in the low gear zone, and the single H valve is used from the main After the box is converted into the auxiliary box, there is a 5 to 8-speed high gear zone. The gearbox is equipped with a gear shift booster. It is very easy to enter the gear and can be entered with a light push.
The long-term use caused the rubber on the stopper to crack and it was worn out. The manual transmission model in the later version has made a certain solution to this problem, but it is difficult to see the manual transmission in the later model. .
The capacity of the fuel tanks on both sides is not large, probably in the form of 350L+450L,Because it was discharged from the National III, there is no urea tank. Scania’s modular assembly can be reflected in this car ten years ago. In order to save space for the chassis, the air reservoir is placed on the inner side of the beam, 2010 There are also a batch of batteries for the new year's new model that are placed at the rear, equipped with a large fuel tank of 1,800 liters.
The iconic single-stage reduction axle with pointed axle head on the rear axle. The speed ratio is not the 2.71 that we are familiar with now, because it is equipped with an 8-speed manual transmission. There will be some changes in the power chain. The speed ratio should be It is the old-fashioned regular 3.08.
The airbag suspension of the rear axle is a drag arm type, with only two-point airbag damping, and leaf springs are cushioned under the axle, which can play a role in damping and limiting the axle. , Of course, the shock absorption effect is not as good as the four-point type.
Now this Scania has entered the state of old age, because the emission is not up to standard, it can not go to some demanding cities, and it will face elimination in less than 10 years of operation. In 2013, the smashing National Three was also missing in just a few years. The later National Four will also face this problem. However, I can only lament that emissions have improved so fast that cars have been eliminated before making big money.
