Drivers often comment they feel more refreshed and alert when they arrive in a Scania truck than any other. This helps them exert precise and full control over their vehicles and it can reduce the risk of fatigue-related accidents.

Some of the most significant improvements in driver comfort have been to the driver’s physical environment: the Scania seat, console and cab.

Ergonomic seat

We have the most comfortable and ergonomically sound driver seats on the market. Correctly positioned and tilted, the seat is designed to support the back and thighs. In addition, the driver’s seat has its own suspension system, which can be adjusted to provide a comfortable measure of cushioning and rebound damping.

Flexible driving position

We offer a wide range of adjustments to driver position to make it possible for drivers of all sizes to find a comfortable, relaxed posture. With a fully adjustable steering column every principal control is at your fingertips when your hands are on the wheel.

Accessible console

The distinctive curved Scania dashboard is now available in two lengths, according to the amount of equipment you want in your truck. Everything fits perfectly, and is placed precisely.

Less noise

In our cabs it’s possible to hold a conversation without raising your voice. We have reduced cabin noise and wind vibration so that the distant hum of the powertrain is the sound you are most likely to notice.

Comfort on the move

Constant vibration is one of the principal contributors to driver fatigue. Most Scania cabs have air suspension, mounting systems that help isolate high frequency vibration from the chassis and sudden shocks from the road surface so that drivers arrive more alert.

Climate control

Australia is renowned for its extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Scania drivers have the ultimate climate control with our highly effective heating and ventilation system that is capable of completely exchanging all air in the largest cab within 45 seconds.

Better visibility

Our window and mirror placement means drivers can view behind and around the vehicle with small movements of the head or just a flick of the eyes.

A driver who is correctly seated with good posture, who isn’t stressed, who is alert and comfortable and who feels safe and secure, will be able to better control their vehicle. This is Scania driveability.
