437,118 kilometres | 20,000 litre capacity | Comprehensive specification
This exceptional P320 demonstrates what makes Scania fuel tankers so popular in international markets. The 20,000-litre aluminium barrel features five precisely engineered compartments (5,000/2,500/5,000/2,500/5,000 litres), enabling efficient multi-product distribution that maximises revenue potential on every delivery run.
The 6×2 configuration with twin wheels on the rear lifting axle provides excellent load distribution whilst the manual transmission offers complete driver control – particularly valuable when navigating challenging terrain common across developing markets. At 437,118 kilometres, this P320 has plenty of operational life remaining whilst benefiting from Scania’s renowned durability.
Comprehensive equipment includes air conditioning essential for tropical operations, Alpeco digital metering system for precise dispensing accuracy, front-mounted delivery hose and reel for operational efficiency, and external sun-visor with integrated spotlights for enhanced visibility during early morning or evening deliveries.
The vehicle also features front bumper integrated driving and fog lights, access ladder stored securely under the barrel, and current Euro 5 certification. This truck is designated for export only and ready for immediate shipment worldwide.
518,470 kilometres | 20,000 litre capacity | Fresh MOT and ADR certification
Our P360 offers enhanced power output with identical barrel configuration and operational equipment. Despite higher mileage, this vehicle has just received fresh MOT and ADR certification, confirming its excellent mechanical condition and compliance with dangerous goods regulations.
The 360 horsepower specification provides additional performance for challenging routes or intensive distribution schedules where that extra power proves worthwhile. The same proven 20,000-litre five-compartment barrel enables flexible multi-product operations whilst the comprehensive equipment package matches the P320 specification.
Additional features include a camera system for enhanced safety during manoeuvring operations – particularly valuable in tight forecourt spaces or busy commercial premises. Like the P320, it features Alpeco digital metering, air conditioning, front-mounted delivery equipment, and external sun-visor with integrated spotlights.
Both vehicles demonstrate Scania’s commitment to operational excellence whilst offering buyers choice based on power requirements and budget considerations.
P270 and P280 Models
These mid-range Scania models typically feature 12,000-16,000 litre capacity barrels, perfect for regional distribution networks where moderate capacity combines with Scania’s legendary fuel efficiency. The P270 suits cost-conscious operators whilst P280 variants provide additional power for challenging operating conditions.
Both models showcase Scania’s straightforward maintenance philosophy and proven component reliability. The 4×2 configuration common in these models offers excellent fuel economy whilst maintaining adequate payload for commercial petroleum transport.
P320 Series – Proven Workhorses
Our current YT63 VFR exemplifies why P320 models remain popular across international markets. The 320 horsepower output provides optimal balance between performance capability and operational economy, whilst typical capacities range from 18,000-22,000 litres.
The P320 range suits diverse applications from urban fuel station deliveries to long-distance distribution routes connecting major population centres. Proven reliability and straightforward maintenance make these vehicles particularly valuable in markets where service infrastructure may be developing.
P360 and P380 Higher Performance
For more demanding applications, P360 and P380 models provide enhanced power delivery whilst maintaining Scania’s efficiency advantages. These specifications typically accommodate 20,000-25,000 litre capacities for intensive distribution operations.
The higher power output proves valuable for challenging terrain or maximum legal payload operations whilst Scania’s advanced engine management maintains competitive fuel consumption figures.
R450 and R500 Premium Specifications
Though less common in fuel tanker configuration, R series models offer maximum efficiency and driver comfort for long-distance petroleum transport operations. These premium specifications feature advanced aerodynamics and sophisticated comfort systems.
R series fuel tankers typically serve specialist applications where extended routes justify the premium acquisition costs. The advanced sleeper cab configurations and efficiency features suit international or cross-border distribution operations.
G410 and G450 Maximum Capacity
For operators requiring substantial payload capability, G series models accommodate maximum legal capacities through robust chassis configurations and enhanced power delivery systems.
These vehicles typically feature 6×4 or 8×4 axle arrangements supporting barrel capacities up to 30,000 litres for intensive commercial operations where maximum efficiency justifies higher acquisition costs.
Scania’s modular approach to commercial vehicle design enables cost-effective maintenance whilst ensuring component reliability across varied operating conditions. This philosophy proves particularly valuable for international operators where parts availability and service expertise might vary.
The standardised component approach means maintenance procedures remain consistent across different model variations, simplifying technician training and reducing service complexity for fleet operators managing diverse vehicle specifications.
Scania’s engine development focuses on combining power delivery with fuel efficiency, resulting in powertrains that provide adequate performance whilst minimising operational costs. The 9-litre and 13-litre engine options common in fuel tankers offer proven reliability with extended service intervals.
Euro 5 compliance in our current stock ensures environmental compatibility across most international markets whilst the simpler emissions systems often mean lower maintenance costs compared to newer Euro 6 alternatives.
Scania consistently leads industry fuel consumption benchmarks, with P320 and P360 models typically achieving 30-35 litres per 100 kilometres under normal loading conditions. These efficiency figures provide substantial operational cost advantages for high-mileage commercial operations.
The advanced engine management systems and aerodynamic refinements deliver fuel consumption improvements of 10-15% compared to equivalent specifications from other manufacturers, providing ongoing operational benefits throughout vehicle life.
South Africa represents the largest market for quality European fuel tankers, with Scania models particularly valued for their combination of reliability and operational efficiency.
