Scania 6x2 – collective page for three-axle chassis: six- and eight-cylinder engines from 8.97 to 15.6 litres, gross vehicle weight 24.3 to 27 tonnes, tag, pusher and twin-steer axle configurations
Scania of Södertälje has offered the 6x2 axle formula for decades for three-axle chassis with one driven axle; depending on the version the third axle is an unsteered tag axle, a steered pusher axle, or – as in the TWEESTEER variant listed here – an additional steered twin-steer front axle. Equipment codes such as LUFT for air suspension and EBS for the electronic braking system appear in the model names without denoting separate ranges. Scania traces back to the Vagnfabriks-Aktiebolaget founded in Malmö in 1891, which merged in 1911 with Vabis's Södertälje plant to form today's company.

The register lists 5 versions with 8,970 to 15,607cc displacement across six to eight cylinders, unladen weights from 8,350 to 10,750kg, gross vehicle weights from 24,300 to 27,000kg, lengths from 6,200 to 7,570mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550mm.
The 6x2 configuration is the standard layout in northern Europe for heavy distribution and long-haul trucks, because compared with 6x4 it allows higher payload with lower unladen weight and tyre wear, without giving up the traction of a three-axle vehicle.
Buying used, check the condition and lift mechanism of the tag or pusher axle, the air-suspension bellows, the EBS and ABS electronics, the frame for rust at the axle mounts, the clutch and gearbox, and the brakes; spare parts run through the Scania dealer network.
