The Scania R143 M Streamline was an iconic benchmark in the production lines of the famous Scandinavian manufacturer, which achieved considerable commercial success in various European and non-European markets between the end of the 1980s and the mid-1990s. The Scania R143M was assembled at the Södertälje production site in Sweden and was one of the most successful models of the "series 3", first introduced by Scania in 1987 and following on from the innovative "series 2" of the 1980s. Powerful and reliable thanks to its 500 horsepower V-8 engine, it was designed with the most advanced technologies of the time. Great attention was paid to its design to reduce aerodynamic resistance and minimize fuel consumption, an important factor for success in using heavy transport over long distances. Scania's tractor unit, with its two-wheel drive configuration, was also acclaimed for its ease of maintenance and low operating and management costs.
