Verdict

The Scania L-series 4x2 rigid was rated as a partner to the P-series 4x2 rigid and the results verified very similar performance between the vehicles. The Scania L-series achieved very good performances in both Safe Driving and Collision Avoidance, earning our CitySafe award alongside its 5 stars. It is available with all of the driver assistance systems Euro NCAP assess and they perform well to support urban to highway driving. The ultra-low cab highly benefits direct vision, although the conventional rear view mirrors can create localised blind areas. A camera monitor system provide a continuous view around the front nearside corner of the vehicle. The Scania L-series is available with a top-performing AEB system for nearside turn collisions with cyclists which is especially important for operation in urban areas. The AEB system also performs well in frontal vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist scenarios. Overall, the can be a very safe choice for regional distribution operations when specified with the correct optional equipment.
