Scania’s G-series and R-series trucks have received five-star ratings in Euro NCAP’s haulage assessment, scoring 96% in crash avoidance. The results highlight the trucks’ driver-assistance systems, visibility, and safety technologies for long-haul and regional transport.
The assessment covered four configurations: the R-series 4×2 tractor and 6×2 rigid, along with the G-series 4×2 tractor and 6×2 rigid.
Scania’s G- and R-series share a suite of driver support systems designed to improve safety and vehicle control across different transport applications.
Key technologies contributing to the 96% crash avoidance score include:
Euro NCAP also highlighted the R-series’ strong performance in Safe Driving and Collision Avoidance. Its optional camera monitor system improves front-corner visibility while reducing driver workload.
The R-series was recognised for its broad range of crash avoidance technologies, including systems designed to help avoid collisions with vehicles, two-wheelers and pedestrians.
The G-series was described as a safe all-rounder when specified with suitable safety equipment. Its lower cab, deep windows and low belt line support direct visibility in mixed-traffic conditions.
Both series also received Euro NCAP’s City Safe Award. The results add to the five-star ratings Scania’s L- and P-series previously achieved.

The five-star ratings extend Scania’s safety credentials across more of its truck range. With strong crash avoidance performance and driver-focused safety systems, the G- and R-series demonstrate how Scania’s modular platform can cater to different transport needs while maintaining a consistent focus on road safety.
