Vehicle chassis equipped to handle hazardous goods in the categories EX/II, EXIII, FL, and AT can be supplied directly from the Scania factory. This also applies to the OX category that will be supplied from Scania factories in the near future.

We advise customers to consult their local Scania organisation for information about availability of vehicles that must conform to ADR or any other national or international regulations relating to the transportation of dangerous goods.

Scania braking systems
All standard-production Scania vehicles with inline 6-cylinder and V8 engines can meet endurance braking performance required by the ADR agreement. This means that by use of the exhaust brake only, the fully-laden vehicle of at least 44 tonnes gross combination weight will maintain a steady speed of 30 km/h on a 6 km long 7% downhill gradient.

For 9-litre engines, only certain tyre and final-drive combinations will meet the performance criteria. Please check with your local Scania sales and service company.

All Scania ADR vehicles meet EC braking requirements and have ABS anti-lock brakes.

Cab heaters
Heaters supplied on ADR trucks do not have timer-regulated automatic starting. After-heating duration is shortened to decrease cool-down time.

Battery cut-out (EX/III & FL)
This disconnects supply to all electrical components except the tachograph and radio memory. The cut-out mechanism incorporates a pneumatic control inside the cab, within reach of driver or passenger, for fast electrical isolation in an emergency. These vehicles also have reinforced chassis wiring behind the cab.
