This Scania R 500 is a used truck tractor unit — also commonly referred to as a semi-truck or tractor-trailer cab — designed to haul heavy freight by coupling to a semi-trailer. Scania is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty commercial vehicles for road haulage, logistics, and long-distance transport worldwide.
This particular unit is a 4×2 low-height configuration, meaning it has two axles with drive to the rear axle, and it rides on a lowered chassis profile suited to applications where overall height is a consideration. The wheelbase measures 3,665 mm. The vehicle is powered by Scania's V8 engine, as indicated by the seller, and drives through a manual transmission paired with a retarder — a supplementary braking system that reduces wear on the service brakes and improves control on long descents, a feature particularly valued in long-haul operations.
The unit has accumulated 1,589,404 km over its service life and is offered as used accordingly. Braking is handled by disc brakes on both axles, and the truck benefits from front and rear air suspension, which helps maintain ride comfort, protects cargo, and allows ride height adjustment. Tyre fitment comprises 355/50 R22.5 on the front axle and 315/60 R22.5 on the rear.
The cab is equipped with a roof hatch, a refrigerator, and a second bunk bed, indicating it is a full sleeper configuration suited to multi-day long-haul driving. The vehicle is located in Italy and is offered at €12,500 plus VAT.
