Scania is taking its premium cab offering to the next level by putting its fabled Longline cab into series production.
The Longline concept originated from customer demand to improve driver conditions, and this latest generation will be built by in low volumes by Laxå – with the chassis being built in Södertälje.
The ability to create a factory certified production version of the truck, is thanks to the introduction of European IVD legislation (Increased Vehicle Dimensions) allowing customers in Europe to purchase longer vehicles.
Lars Gustafsson, Head of Trucks at Scania CV AB, said: “This is a natural evolution of a concept that has long been appreciated by customers. With Longline, we combine heritage with modern industrialisation and offer a platform that can be tailored to individual needs.
“The cab is not only about space, but about creating a better working environment for drivers. This is increasingly important for our customers.”
The Longline’s cab will be available in two length versions – 28 (280cm) and 31 (310cm) – both with a high roof. The interior height will exceed two metres, providing standing room for most drivers.
Designed as a flexible platform rather than a fully specified interior solution. From factory, it will be offered with a limited interior configuration behind the seats, including options such as a standard bed with storage or shelving – or a more open layout.
The design focuses on defined mounting points, enabling customers to design interiors according to their specific requirements. Many customers are expected to personalise their vehicles through custom paint jobs and interior solutions.
To support this, Scania will offer premium paint options of all automotive colours available in collaboration with a Swedish custom painter to reduce overall lead times.
Samuel Suderbys, Managing Director at Laxå, said: “We simply don’t add things that aren’t needed, limiting waste in line with our sustainability targets.”
Sales begin in April 2026 with first deliveries expected this autumn. As a low-volume offering, the Longline cab is intended for those seeking a platform to build something tailored, unique and distinctive.
