====Complete buses==== [[File:Scania Vabis Capitol 2011a.jpg|thumb|right|Scania-Vabis Capitol (C75) from 1962.]] [[File:Scania-1P.jpg|thumb|Scania MaxCi (CN113CLL) in Russia.]] [[File:Bluestar 2002 HF58 HTG.JPG|thumb|[[Bluestar (bus company)|Bluestar]] [[Scania OmniCity]] in [[Southampton]].]] [[File:WK14 Malbork Intercity BUS Travelarz.jpg|thumb|Scania Touring HD in Poland.]] [[File:MSRTC-Ashwamedh-Scania.jpg|thumb|A Scania Metrolink operated by the [[Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation|MSRTC]] in India.]] Scania-Vabis' first complete bus model was the transversally rear-engined commuter bus Metropol (C50), which was built in the workshop in Södertälje on licence from the [[Mack Trucks|Mack]] C50 in 1953–1954 for customer [[Stockholms Spårvägar (1915)|Stockholms Spårvägar]]. It was followed in 1955 by the slightly shorter city bus version Capitol (C70/C75/C76), which was manufactured until 1964. In 1959, the front-engined CF-series was introduced with the CF65 and CF75 (later CF66 and CF76). The CF-series was built until 1966. In 1965, the rear-engined CR76 was introduced as a replacement for the Capitol. It was available in two versions; the CR76M with double doors (2-2-0) for city and suburban traffic, and the CR76L with single doors (1-1-0) for longer distances. Because of Sweden's [[Dagen H|switch to right-hand traffic in September 1967]] and the need for new buses with doors on the right-hand side, the model sold well. With the rebranding from Scania-Vabis to Scania in 1968, the model was renamed CR110 (CR110M and CR110L). In 1967, the coachwork manufacturer [[Svenska Karosseri Verkstäderna]] (SKV) in [[Katrineholm]] was acquired, and all production of bus chassis soon moved there too.<ref name="scaniabuses100" /> Together with the rebranding in 1968, Scania re-introduced the front-engined CF range for customers in Sweden as a body-on-chassis product with the newly acquired SKV's former bodywork model "6000" on standard Scania chassis, but less than 100 were delivered until 1970. The CF110L (BF110 chassis) was the most successful, while a handful of C80L (B80) and C110L (B110) were made.<ref name="svof-cr110-cf110">{{cite web |url=http://www.omnibuss.se/forum/index.php?topic=52524.0 |title=När Scania-Vabis blev Scania 1968 |website=Bussnack |date=April 2012 |access-date=22 October 2015 |language=sv |trans-title=When Scania-Vabis became Scania |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304093209/http://www.omnibuss.se/forum/index.php?topic=52524.0 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref> In 1971, the CR110 was upgraded and became the CR111. With extended sound-proofing for its time, it was marketed as the "silent bus". The same year, Scania also introduced a new range of longitudally rear-engined coaches known as the CR85 and the CR145. While CR85 had the small 8-litre engine, the CR145 was powered by a 14-litre V8 engine. The coaches were built until 1978, but never sold very well. In 1973, one right-hand drive CR145 prototype was built in Sweden, with the finishing touches done by [[Metro Cammell Weymann|MCW]], but it remained the only one of its kind.<ref name="mcw-cr145">{{cite web |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/lva45/4790191284/ |title=MCW Scania CR145 National Express |website=Flickr |date=28 November 2009 |access-date=24 October 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020163630/https://www.flickr.com/photos/lva45/4790191284/ |archive-date=20 October 2017}}</ref> The CR111 was replaced by the all-new CR112 in 1978. With its angular design, the CR112 was called a "shoebox". As with the BR112 chassis being renamed the N112, the CR112 was renamed the CN112 in 1984, and it was also launched in an articulated version. A North American version of the CN112 was built in around 250 units between 1984 and 1988. The CK112 was launched as a simple coach or intercity bus in 1986, sharing most of the styling with the CN112. With the launch of the 3-series in 1988, both the CN112 and CK112 were upgraded to CN113 and CK113. The CK113 was replaced by the L113-based CL113 in 1991 with new rectangular headlights, but production ended in 1992. Less than 100 units of the CK112/CK113/CL113 were ever built. The MaxCi (CN113CLL), launched in 1992, was Scania's first ever [[low-entry bus]], with a low floor between the front and centre doors, and kneeling to make entering even easier. The bodywork was based on the CN113, but with a lowered window line in the front half, and a new front including the headlights from the CL113. In 1996, the aluminium body [[Scania OmniCity|OmniCity]] was launched as Scania's first full [[low-floor bus]], and in 1998 the MaxCi was replaced by the [[Scania OmniLink|OmniLink]], which shared styling with the OmniCity. A step-entrance intercity bus returned with the [[Scania OmniLine|OmniLine]] in 2000. In 2007, Scania returned to the complete coach market with the Finnish-built [[Scania OmniExpress|OmniExpress]], which in 2011 even replaced the OmniLine, which had gone out of production in 2009. Scania's current styling was first seen in 2009, with the launch of the Touring coach, manufactured by [[Higer Bus]] in China, and in 2011 the [[Scania Citywide|Citywide]] was launched to replace both the OmniCity and the OmniLink. Scania in India launched their very own Metrolink coach in 2013, built at their plant there. The Interlink was then launched in October 2015 to replace the OmniExpress. The latest addition to Scania's complete bus models is the Fencer range featuring buses to coaches, the F1 single decker bus was launched in May 2021 initially for the UK market and available in diesel and electric drivetrains.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Scania's new Fencer single-deck bus offers multiple alternative fuel options|url=http://www.transportengineer.org.uk/transport-engineer-news/scanias-new-fencer-single-deck-bus-offers-multiple-alternative-fuel-options/237318/|access-date=23 May 2021|website=www.transportengineer.org.uk|date=19 May 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Deakin|first=Tim|date=17 May 2021|title=Scania Fencer bus range receives global launch in UK market|url=https://www.route-one.net/news/scania-fencer-bus-range-receives-global-launch-in-uk-market/|access-date=23 May 2021|website=routeone|language=en-US}}</ref> ===== Current ===== *[[Scania Citywide|Citywide]] – low-floor and low-entry city bus range *[[Scania Fencer|Fencer]] – low-floor urban, intercity and coach range *[[Scania Interlink|Interlink]] – coach and intercity bus range *[[Scania Touring|Touring]] – premium coach, manufactured by [[Higer Bus]] ===== Historical ===== {{div col}} *[[Scania-Vabis Metropol|Metropol]] (C50) – rear-engined step-entrance commuter bus *[[Scania-Vabis Capitol|Capitol]] (C70/C75/C76) – rear-engined step-entrance city bus *[[Scania-Vabis CF65|CF65/CF75/CF66/CF76]] – front-engined step-entrance city/intercity bus *[[Scania-Vabis CR76|CR76/CR110/CR111]] – rear-engined step-entrance city/intercity bus *[[Scania CF110|C80/C110/CF110]] – front-engined step-entrance city/intercity bus *[[Scania CR145|CR85/CR145]] – rear-engined coach *[[Scania CR112|CR112/CN112/CN113]] – rear-engined step-entrance city/intercity bus (rigid/[[Articulated bus|articulated]]) *[[Scania CK112|CK112/CK113/CL113]] – rear-engined intercity bus *[[Scania MaxCi|MaxCi]] (CN113CLL) – [[Low-entry bus|low-entry]] city bus *[[Scania OmniCity|OmniCity]] – low-floor city bus (rigid/articulated/[[Double-decker bus|double-decker]]) *[[Scania OmniExpress|OmniExpress]] – coach and intercity bus range *[[Scania OmniLink|OmniLink]] – low-entry city bus (rigid/articulated) *[[Scania OmniLine|OmniLine]] – intercity bus *[[Scania Metrolink|Metrolink]] – intercity coach for India {{Div col end}}
