Scania CV refers to Scania CV AB, the manufacturer's vehicle company based in Södertälje, whose name appears in this section of the register as a collective heading ahead of the actual type codes R143, R144, R164 and R500 of various series. R denotes the long-haul cab in each case, the following digit group the engine family or power class, and the axle formula 4X2 or 6X2 the number of axles and driven axles; LA and MNA in the chassis codes mark suspension and body variants of the respective chassis.

The register lists 6 versions from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 14,190 to 15,607 cc. Kerb weights range from 7,375 to 13,430 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 28,000 kg. Lengths run from 5,840 to 9,250 mm, widths from 2,520 to 2,550 mm.
The chassis gathered here cover the upper power segment of Scania's long-haul programmes and, depending on model year, competed with the Volvo F16/FH16 and the Mercedes-Benz Actros with a V8 engine; tractor units and three-axle chassis for body fitment sit side by side in the register.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame outriggers and spring brackets, the condition of the air suspension and fifth-wheel coupling on tractor units, and sealing of the charge-air cooler and turbocharger on the big six- or eight-cylinder engine; spare parts are widely available through Scania's service network.
