Scania R 164 Trucks: Legendary V8 Power for Heavy Haulage

The Scania R 164 is a flagship model from Scania’s 4-series, produced between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. Known for its powerful V8 engines and robust construction, the R 164 was developed for long-distance and heavy-duty transport across Europe. Although production ended with the arrival of the R-series successor, many used units are still on the road, appreciated for their pulling power, mechanical reliability, and iconic status.

Use and Popularity in the European Market

Scania R 164 trucks are still used across Europe in sectors such as timber transport, fuel logistics, and heavy machinery haulage. Most units feature Euro 3-compliant engines, making them ideal for non-restricted or rural areas. Fleet operators value the R 164 for its simplicity, ease of repair, and exceptional torque — especially in the 580 hp and 480 hp V8 configurations.
