Scania T144 – the cab-over flagship of the T range with a V8 engine, discontinued in Europe in 1995 and built in South America into the 2000s, axle configurations 4x2 to 6x4, 338 to 390 kW
The T144 belongs to Scania's T range, the cab-over-engine truck without a bonnet, which from the 1980s to 1995 was the flagship for European long-haul transport and was then replaced by the bonneted range; in Brazil and Argentina Scania continued building the cab-over as the T range well into the 2000s. The 144 in the type designation refers to the 14-litre V8 engine of the then 4-series, GA, GB and LA denote different chassis heights and lengths, and the 4X2, 6X2 and 6X4 axle configurations the number of axles and driven wheels.

The register lists here 11 versions with 338 to 390 kW from eight-cylinders of 4,190 to 15,600 cm³, unladen weights from 7,325 to 14,660 kg, gross weights from 19,000 to 28,500 kg, lengths from 6,950 to 9,400 mm and widths from 2,540 to 2,550 mm.
The T144 was used in Europe above all as a tractor unit for long-haul transport, while in South America the T range was additionally valued as a construction and site vehicle for its compact cab dimensions; the range is regarded among collectors as Scania's last classic cab-over flagship.
On used examples, operating hours and the condition of the V8 engine, rust on the cab-tilt mechanism and frame mounting, wear on the clutch and gearbox, and on vehicles imported from South America the availability of parts, which runs through specialist dealers, all count.
