The Scania R440 LB6x2*4MNB from 2011 carries the unusual suffix 6x2*4, which describes an axle arrangement with a steered or liftable trailing axle: six wheel positions, two driven, plus additional steering. This configuration improves the manoeuvrability of the three-axle truck and reduces tyre wear in distribution work.
The six-cylinder engine has 12,740 cm³ displacement and delivers 324 kW. It thus belongs to the thirteen-litre class that Scania used at the time for heavy distribution and long-haul work. The length of 10,010 mm and width of 2,600 mm correspond to a straight truck with a swap body or box body. The kerb weight of 13,450 kg and the permissible gross weight of 27,000 kg give a payload at long-haul level.
The number 440 in the name indicates the PS output; it lies between the two neighbouring power steps and is among the best-selling power steps of the R series.
Scania R440 – high R long-haul cab rated at around 441 hp: 12.7-litre six-cylinder engine, tractor units and three-axle trucks up to 37 tonnes gross weight
The R cab is Scania's tallest cab, built for long-haul work with flat bunks; the R440 pairs it with a six-cylinder engine of around 441 hp. The models R440, R440 LA4X2MNA, R440 LB4X2MNA, R440 LB6x2*4MNB and R440 LB8X4HSZ range from the classic tractor unit to a four-axle construction vehicle with drive on several axles.

The register lists 5 versions with around 324 kW from six-cylinder engines of 12,740 to 12,742 cm³, kerb weights of 7,900 to 24,440 kg, gross vehicle weights of 19,000 to 37,000 kg, lengths of 5,955 to 10,850 mm and widths of 2,470 to 2,600 mm.
At this power the R440 covers both classic European long-haul work with a semi-trailer and heavier all-wheel-drive construction vehicles, competing with similarly powered models from Volvo, DAF and Mercedes-Benz. The tall cab offers standing height and a bunk for overnight stops, while the automated Opticruise gearbox also helps smooth hill starts on the construction versions.
When buying a tractor unit, the fifth wheel, frame and engine mileage matter most, while the all-wheel-drive four-axle variants additionally need the transfer case and differential locks checked; parts for the twelve-litre six-cylinder engine are readily available through the Scania network, and the retarder oil and its cooling circuit are worth checking on examples used mainly in hilly terrain.

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.
