Scania R124 – the collective page of the 4-series with the R cab: six- and eight-cylinder engines of 11,700 to 15,600 cm³, configurations from 4x2 to 8x4, 294 to 345 kW
This collective page gathers the Scania R124 range from the 4-series, which Scania introduced in 1995 and with which the R cab was established as the brand's tallest and roomiest driver's cab. Within the 4-series the digit groups denote the engine, with R124 marking the version fitted with the 12-litre six-cylinder DC12; the model list shows, alongside classic 4x2 and 6x2 tractor units, also 6x4 and 8x4 chassis for heavy distribution and construction work.

The register lists 15 versions with 294 to 345 kW from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 11,700 to 15,600 cm³, unladen weights from 7,086 to 28,300 kg and gross weights from 18,000 to 37,000 kg; lengths range from 6,150 to 10,660 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
In the 1990s and early 2000s the 4-series was the backbone of Scania's European long-haul fleet, and its modular system of cabs, axles and engines laid the foundation for the platform strategy Scania still uses today; the range's R cab was regarded, until replaced by the next generation in 2004, as the benchmark for space and sleeping comfort on long-haul work.
On a used R124, mileage and the condition of the DC12 engine, the clutch and manual or semi-automatic transmission, the frame and axles for corrosion and play all count, and on the 6x4 and 8x4 chassis additionally the transfer case and twin tyres; parts run through the Scania network.
