Ordering parts for the Scania Next Gen range
The Scania Next Gen (S, R, and G) introduced in 2017 shares the same DC09 and DC13 engine families with the previous generation, but the cab is a complete redesign. Headlamp assemblies, bumper configurations, front panels, dashboard components, and cab trim parts from the old R/G/P range will not fit the Next Gen. If you are sourcing cab parts, confirm that you are looking at Next Gen-specific listings rather than assuming parts fit across the generational boundary.
Engine components remain straightforward — the DC13 engine code covers the Euro 6 Next Gen trucks and the equivalent Euro 6 variants of the older R/G range, so engine-code-specific parts such as gaskets, sensors, and emissions system components are often common. Confirm the engine code from the vehicle plate before ordering.
The Next Gen introduced revised electrical architecture and updated diagnostic protocols. Scania's SDP3 diagnostic software is required for accurate fault code reading and system programming on Next Gen trucks. The cab control module and body electronics have been significantly updated compared to the previous generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years does the Scania Next Gen cover?
The Scania Next Gen (new cab S, R, and G series) was introduced in 2017 and remains in current production. It is a distinct generation from the previous Scania P/G/R range that was produced from approximately 2004 to 2016 depending on model.
Are Scania Next Gen parts the same as the previous R Series?
Engine parts are often shared where the same engine code is used. Cab parts, electrical components, and body parts are not interchangeable between the generations. The Next Gen represents a complete cab redesign and the front end, interior, and cab architecture are different from the previous R Series.
What diagnostic tool works on Scania Next Gen trucks?
Scania's SDP3 (Scania Diagnos & Programmer 3) software is required for full diagnostic access on Next Gen trucks, including fault code reading, live data, and module programming. Generic J1939-compatible tools will read standard OBD fault codes but will not provide the same depth of data as the manufacturer's own diagnostic software.
Do you stock Euro 6 emissions parts for the Scania Next Gen?
Yes. NOx sensors, AdBlue dosing components, EGR hardware, and related Euro 6 emissions parts are stocked for the Scania DC13 engine fitted to Next Gen trucks. Confirm the engine code when ordering to ensure you receive the correct part for your specific variant.
