Scania G Series parts: ordering guidance
The Scania G Series shares much of its engineering with the P and R Series on the same platform generation. The engine families (DC09, DC12, DC13) are common across the range, and engine parts ordered by engine code will typically fit G Series trucks of the matching generation. Cab parts, however, are G Series-specific — the medium-height cab uses its own bumper configuration, front panels, and headlamp assemblies.
The G Series was introduced in 2010 as an update to the existing range, positioned specifically to replace certain P Series applications where a medium-height cab was preferred over either the low P cab or the high R cab. This means G Series trucks are relatively consistent in specification compared to the R Series, which has had more extensive model updates through its production run.
For Euro 6 G Series trucks, the emissions system components — NOx sensors, AdBlue dosing module, EGR valve, and associated pipework — are matched to the engine code rather than the cab designation. A Scania G Series Euro 6 with a DC13 106 engine shares its emissions components with the equivalent R Series and P Series using the same engine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Scania G Series used for?
The G Series is a medium-height cab truck used primarily in regional distribution, tanker operations, and construction. Its cab height is between the lower P Series and the higher R Series, making it a versatile option where the extra height of the R cab is not needed but the very low profile of the P cab is not required.
How does the Scania G Series differ from the R Series in terms of parts?
Engine and drivetrain components are largely shared with the R Series where the engine code matches. Cab parts are G Series-specific and do not interchange with R or P Series components. When ordering, always specify the G Series rather than just quoting the engine code for cab parts.
Do you stock aftermarket parts for the Scania G Series?
Yes. Aftermarket cab body parts and mechanical components are available for the Scania G Series. Availability depends on the specific part and age of the vehicle. Call us on 01527 598 000 with the chassis number to confirm availability for your specific truck.
Are Scania G Series parts compatible with the new Scania models?
No. The Scania G Series (2010–2017 production, depending on market) uses different cab architecture from the Scania Next Gen range introduced from 2017. Cab parts from the old G Series will not fit the new generation trucks.
