Scania P280 – low P cab rated at 280 hp: five- and six-cylinder engines from 6.7 to 9.3 litres, chassis from two-axle distribution trucks to long tractor units over 29 tonnes
Scania has always graded its cabs by height: P denotes the low cab, R the high cab and T the bonneted version, while the trailing number on current series states the power in horsepower. The P280 therefore carries an engine of roughly 280 hp in the low cab, built for distribution work and municipal bodies with frequent entry and exit. The variants P280, P280 B4X2NA, P280 DB, P280 DB4X2MLB and P280 LA show how drive formula (4X2), suspension and body height combine in the type designation.

The register lists 5 versions with around 206 kW from five- and six-cylinder engines of 6,690 to 9,291 cm³, kerb weights of 6,700 to 19,595 kg, gross vehicle weights of 18,000 to 29,000 kg, lengths of 5,940 to 11,990 mm and widths of 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
The P280 occupies the lower power class in Scania's range for distribution transport, furniture haulage and municipal vehicles, competing there with similarly powered ranges from MAN, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz; the low cab eases access on bodies with frequent entry.
When buying used, the clutch and automatic gearbox deserve close attention given frequent pulling away in distribution work, as do the brakes and suspension on the heavier three-axle and tractor-unit variants; parts are available throughout the Scania dealer network, including for the smaller five-cylinder engines.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
