Scania TM 4X2 – tractor units and chassis of the TM range for transport and municipal use: 8 versions, 7.8 to 14 litres displacement, 12 to 24 tonnes gross vehicle weight
This collective page gathers Scania TM-range vehicles, listed as tractor units (ZL, ZS) and chassis in two- and three-axle configurations (4X2, 6X2). Model designations such as ZL 60100 or ZS 65100 reflect internal equipment and axle-load codes; the range spans from medium six-cylinder to heavy eight-cylinder engines.

The register lists 8 versions from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 7,790 to 14,000 cm³. Unladen weights range from 6,485 to 11,240 kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,995 to 24,000 kg, lengths from 5,990 to 7,900 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,570 mm.
With this spread of weight classes, the TM range covers both medium distribution transport and heavier tractor-unit tasks, sitting between Scania's light distribution chassis and its heavy long-haul chassis. Typical uses are regional freight, municipal services and construction-site supply. On the used market, TM chassis appear both as complete tractor units and as bare chassis for body builders who fit their own box, tipper or tanker bodies.
When buying a used TM vehicle, check the condition of the clutch and gearbox, rust on the frame and body fittings, tightness of the cooling system, and on tractor units the condition of the fifth wheel and air suspension. The Scania parts network reliably covers drivetrain and chassis. On intensively used chassis it is also worth checking the brakes and air-suspension bellows, which wear faster under constant load than on pure long-haul tractors.

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.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
