Scania PM – the collective page of two- and three-axle trucks from Södertälje: 4x2 and 6x2 chassis with six-cylinder diesels, 7,790 to 11,705 cm³, gross weights up to 26,500 kg
This collective page gathers the Scania PM range, heavy trucks from the Swedish manufacturer based in Södertälje. Scania emerged in 1911 from the merger of the machine works Scania, founded in 1891, with the wagon and vehicle builder Vabis, and has belonged entirely to the Volkswagen Group since 2014, today bundled in the commercial-vehicle holding Traton, which also includes MAN. The PM-range vehicles sit in the register as two-axle (4x2) and three-axle (6x2) trucks, throughout with six-cylinder diesel engines; the type designations range from the PM 340 6X2 through the 4x2 chassis with the additional letters AL, ZL and AS to the PM 6X2 AL 70162.

The register lists 15 versions of the PM with 250 kW, displacements from 7,790 to 11,705 cm³ from six-cylinder engines throughout, unladen weights from 5,840 to 16,450 kg and gross weights from 17,000 to 26,500 kg; lengths range from 7,010 to 12,000 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
Alongside Volvo, Scania is one of the two leading Swedish truck brands and supplies both long-haul transport and construction and distribution work with two- and three-axle trucks such as the PM range, where the higher payload of the 6x2 chassis with trailing axle is valued. The range's six-cylinder in-line engines stand for Scania's traditional modular engine system, which has simplified servicing and parts supply across several ranges for decades.
On a used PM, mileage and the condition of the six-cylinder engine, the clutch and the manual or automated transmission, the frame and chassis for corrosion, and on the three-axle versions the condition of the trailing axle, brakes and air suspension all count; parts run through Scania's dense dealer network.
