Scania R560 – the flagship of the R range for long-haul transport: six- and eight-cylinder engines of 12.7 to 15.6 litres with 412 to 419 kW, combination gross weights up to 47 tonnes
The R560 belongs to Scania's R range, introduced in 2004 as the Swedish truck maker's most spacious cab for long-haul transport. The type designation R560 gives the R cab and an engine output of around 560 hp; LA in the model names marks the tractor unit (dragbil), LB the rigid truck with its own load bed, the following digits and letters the number and arrangement of axles such as 6X2, 6X4 or 8x4, the frame height (H for high, M for mid) and the cab trim (Normal or Highline). Scania builds the R range in Södertälje, Sweden, and at further European plants.

The register lists here 21 versions with 412 to 419 kW from six- and eight-cylinders of 12,742 to 15,607 cm³, unladen weights from 7,535 to 36,525 kg, gross weights from 19,000 to 47,000 kg, lengths from 5,820 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
The R560 ranks among the most powerful production engine options in the R range and, in long-haul transport, competes against the top models of Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and MAN; the wide spread of tractor units and rigid trucks with differing axle configurations shows the range of uses, from classic long haul to heavy haulage.
On a used Scania of this class, operating-hour history and the condition of clutch and gearbox count, brakes and brake discs given the high gross weight, chassis and axle suspension, and the history of the exhaust aftertreatment; parts and service run through Scania's dense workshop network.
