Scania SBA 111

Notes: This medium 4x4 truck is used by Sweden, Finland, and India. The SBA 111 has been designed to be easy to drive and maintain, with automatic transmission and easy to service components that can use normal tools. Another consideration was using off-the-shelf proven components from existing truck lines. The cab has a roof hatch with a mount for a light machinegun (though no weapon is provided in the basic cost). The cargo area has removable drop sides and a drop tailgate, and may be covered with a canvas cover. The SBA 111 has a winch in the front bumper with a capacity of 8 tons. The vehicle is meant for cold weather operations, with a cab heater, engine heater, battery heater, and fuel heater.

The SBAT 111S is a larger, heavier, 6x6 version of the SBA 111 listed above. It is designed for carrying cargo loads, with a 5.5-ton capacity crane mounted to the rear of the cab. A modified version of this vehicle tows FH-77 155mm artillery pieces for the Swedish Army; this version has a 10-man fully enclosed cab for the gun crew. Other versions include a radar vehicle, an airfield fire truck, and an airfield snow-clearing vehicle. Other equipment on this truck is the same as on the SBA 111 above.
