Scania LS – collective page of the heavy truck range of the 1970s/80s: straight-six and V8 engines under Scania's 110/140 logic, 202 to 295 kW
This page gathers the Scania LS range, heavy trucks of the generation Scania of Södertälje, Sweden, built through the 1970s and 1980s. The first two or three digits of the type designation give the engine family: 110 and 111 denote the straight-six of around eleven litres, 140 and 141 the 14-litre V8. Following digits, as in LS 140 54, mark the power step, and suffixes such as S, HRE or SUPER further equipment and chassis variants.

The register lists here 50 versions with outputs from 202 to 295 kW, displacements from 5,650 to 14,200 cm³ from four- to eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 5,860 to 13,542 kg against gross weights of 11,999 to 23,500 kg and widths from 2,350 to 2,550 mm.
The LS range stood at the transition from Scania's 2-series to 3-series and was positioned in the heavy segment against the Volvo F10/F12 and Mercedes-Benz NG; it served above all as a long-haul and construction-site truck and as the base for tractor units and tippers.
On used examples, the straight-sixes call for checking the injection pump and turbocharger, the V8 cooling and valvetrain, the frame and axles for rust and suspension wear, and the gearbox and clutch for condition after often high mileages; parts are available through the Scania network and independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.
