Scania Prototip

Word reaches Biglorryblog that Scania has selected Porsche Engineering Group as its partner in the development of the next generation of truck cabs. Indeed, Per Hallberg, executive vice president and head of R&D and purchasing at the Swedish truck maker tells Biglorryblog. "In Porsche Engineering we have found a partner that shares Scania's values and views on development and production. We will develop a cab frame together that is optimised for Scania's requirements on styling and functionality, as well as for rational production,"  Whether it will look like the design sketch abover remains to be seen!

And in case you're wondering why a Swedish truck maker should team up with a German sports car manufacturer the official Scania release goes on to say: "Porsche Engineering Group GmbH provides highly advanced engineering services in areas such as material analysis and structural testing, as well as design of production equipment and logistics. Customers include both automotive companies and other industries." I wonder when we'll see the '6 series' then ?
