The Scania 111S has been on Brazilian roads for almost 50 years. Its first unit left the production line in 1975. Its commercialization in Brazil dates back to 1976, as a successor to the L110 line. The famous Alligator quickly won the hearts of drivers and the country's roads.
Scania's 111 line remained on sale for six years, until 1981. From then on, the launch of the T 112 took its place. But, as expected, the Scania 111S is still found around today. In addition to being a road classic, it is also a resistant example for transporting countless types of loads.
In addition to the 111S version, this same family was sold in other versions. The models L (4×2), LS (6×2) and LT (6×4) were sold at the same time and in the same period. Because of their robustness, resistance and economy, they have become renowned trucks in the logistics world. Spatially, the 111S, although it presents functionalities and important evolutions, has simplified mechanics that allow its models to still be preserved today.
Although it is the crucial part, its functioning and evolution were not the only characteristics that marked history. As a differentiator, at the time of the introduction of the Scania 111S, the color orange was the protagonist in the industry. This was a bold and important difference. This use marked the road with the imposing presence of trucks, including those from Scania.
