Verdict

The Scania P-series 6x2 rigid utility was rated as a partner to the L-series 6x2 rigid utility and the results verified very similar performance between the vehicles. In this case it is presented as a refuse collection vehicle. The P-series achieves a good performance in both Safe Driving and and very good in 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 from urban stop/start operations to highway driving. The low mounted cab benefits direct vision. Whilst the conventional rear view mirrors can create localised blind areas, the camera monitor systems provide continuous views around the front nearside corner specifically and all around the vehicle generally. The Scania P-series is available with a top-performing AEB system for nearside turn collisions with cyclists which is especially important reflecting the likely use of this vehicle. The AEB system also performs well in frontal vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist scenarios. Overall, the P-series can be a very safe vehicle for utility operations provided that all the appropriate options are specified.
