However, operational backup is a vital factor. Scania has a worldwide network of distributors and dealers, so even if access to a particular service location may be denied, vital parts can often be obtained in neighbouring states. The operational
backup is simplified by the modular design requiring fewer special tools and fewer parts in stock.
Scania will also supply electronic media featuring training, comprehensive service manuals and parts catalogues in several languages.
Vehicles can be supplied to meet many applications, all vehicles are based on standard-production chassis and can be adapted to be suitable for transporting tanks, to more specialised units such as 8x8 axle configurations, or 150 tonnes gross
train weight. Cabs can be reinforced to withstand anti-tank mine blasts and armour piercing small-arms fire.
