SCANIA FRONTAL 112 E 113 v1.0 ETS2
The Scania 112 and 113 are among the most cherished and well-recognized heavy-duty trucks ever produced by Scania do Brasil. They belong to a lineage of “cara-chata” (flat-faced) trucks that ruled Brazil’s highways for many years. While their designs are robustly similar, the 113 marked a significant upgrade from the 112, offering enhanced power, comfort, and technological advancements.
Scania 112 (Série 2)
Introduced in 1981 as the successor to the successful 111 model, the Scania 112 represented a major leap forward, showcasing a fresh, more aerodynamic cabin design that had undergone wind tunnel testing, emphasizing driver comfort.
Engine: The 112 was equipped with a 6-cylinder, 11-liter diesel engine, available in various power configurations, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants.
Power: The 112 HW model, featuring an intercooler, generated approximately 360 horsepower, making it the most recognizable version.
Features: Known for its mechanical simplicity and durability, the 112 also introduced features like a quieter cab, with some later models offering air suspension for added driver comfort. The “H” in its designation often indicated the heightened power, catering to long-haul needs.
Scania 113 (Série 3)
The Scania 113 made its debut in 1991, evolving the brand’s heavy-duty lineup. It built upon the success of the 112 with a series of significant enhancements, earning its reputation as one of the finest trucks ever manufactured.
Engine: While retaining the 11-liter engine, the 113 incorporated crucial internal modifications, enhancing combustion and efficiency. The most powerful variant, the 113H 360, benefitted from an intercooler that greatly improved performance.
Power: The 113 surpassed the 112 in power and torque, with the 360 hp variant gaining popularity for its ability to tackle heavy loads and steep inclines.
Transmission: This model was equipped with an upgraded series of transmissions featuring refined gearboxes that provided better synchronization and a wider range of ratios, enhancing drivability and fuel efficiency.
Features: The 113 boasted a modern, ergonomic interior, with a revamped dashboard. Later iterations introduced the iconic Topline cab, which offered extra headroom and space, setting a new benchmark for comfort.
