Scania P124 – distribution and construction chassis of the 4-series with low P-cab and 12-litre engine: 8 versions, 265 to 309 kW, 20.5 to 37 tonnes gross vehicle weight
Scania is a Swedish truck and bus manufacturer headquartered in Södertälje, part of the VW Group since 2000 and today, alongside MAN, under the Traton Group. In the 4-series introduced in 1995, the letter P denotes the lowest and lightest cab, intended for distribution work and construction sites with frequent entry and exit; the number 124 marks the engine class – a twelve-litre six-cylinder. Model designations in the register range from the basic version to all-wheel drive (CA4X4, CB4X4) and low-centre-of-gravity tipper variants (LA-A).

The register lists 8 versions with 265 to 309 kW from six-cylinder engines of 11,700 to 12,000 cm³. Unladen weights range from 10,150 to 21,425 kg, gross vehicle weights from 20,500 to 37,000 kg, lengths from 6,150 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
The P-cab makes this range the standard chassis for concrete mixers, tippers, municipal vehicles and cranes, where downward visibility and short entry paths matter more than long-haul comfort; the four-wheel-drive variants CA4X4 and CB4X4 target forestry and off-road construction work. Scania competes in this segment mainly with Volvo, MAN and Mercedes-Benz.
When buying a used P124, check the condition of the body and auxiliary frame, rust on the axles and spring hangers, the condition of the clutch and power take-offs for tipper or crane hydraulics, and on four-wheel-drive versions the transfer case and propeller shafts. Scania maintains a dense parts and service network, so even older P124 chassis remain well supplied.
