Scania T143H – bonneted truck with 14-litre V8: 404 to 450 hp, two- and three-axle trucks from 8.4 to 9.6 metres long, up to 27 tonnes gross weight
Like the T142, the T143H uses the bonneted cab, but pairs it with a more powerful version of the 14-litre V8 engine. The models T143H, T143H 6X2 ZS 75180, T143H 6X2 ZS 75180 E, T143H 6X4 ZS 80180 E and T143H L -6X2 cover two-axle as well as three- and four-axle chassis with different drive formulas, as the ZS and ZS 80180 codes combined with the axle count show.

The register lists 5 versions with 297 to 331 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 14,200 cm³, kerb weights of 8,720 to 9,900 kg, gross vehicle weights of 25,500 to 27,000 kg, lengths of 8,400 to 9,620 mm and widths of 2,480 to 2,600 mm.
With more power than the T142, the T143H was aimed more at heavy and long-haul transport outside Europe, where the bonneted layout remained popular for its better passive safety and easier roadside maintenance; the forward-tilting bonnet gives access to the engine and radiator without a service pit or a lift.
When buying these trucks, check the condition of the radiator and grille ahead of the bonnet, wear on the clutch and brake system, and frame corrosion; the V8 engine is considered durable provided service intervals were kept, and the bonnet's tilt mechanism should move smoothly and evenly, while four-axle versions also warrant a check of the second steered axle and its steering linkage.
