Among Scania’s cab lineup, the LongLine has always been the most prestigious and noble presence. It represents the longest body, the most spacious interior — spacious enough to hold a driver’s every imagination about a truck. More than twenty years ago, it appeared like a flash in the pan; today, with the return of the Scania S 770 LongLine, this name once again takes center stage.
Since 2024, online leaks about the new Scania LongLine cab have been increasing. Now in 2026, we finally met it at the world’s largest commercial vehicle expo: IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany.
In front of us is the protagonist of today’s article: the S 770 tractor. In the current Scania truck family, the S-series represents the top flagship. Compared with other models, Scania S-series trucks are more imposing with a higher cab, which also brings a more spacious interior.
This S 770 tractor is a member of Scania’s NTG generation, so it continues the styling characteristics of NTG trucks. Its front face is centered on a shield-style grille with multi-level stacked panels.
A special model naturally gets special styling. The silver side marker lights and silver SCANIA lettering used on regular Scania trucks are all blacked out on this S 770, including the grille itself.
The blacked-out S 770 badge on the left of the bumper marks this as a 770 hp S-series model.
The blacked-out V8 badge on the right of the bumper indicates a V8 engine.
According to the display panel, Scania officially names this paint "Mjölby Red" — a vivid, warm red, not as deep as traditional red paint.
Since the pure-electric models, the new extended bumper has gradually become common on Scania trucks. This S 770 LongLine uses the extended bumper, protruding about 15 cm further forward than a traditional bumper.
Turning to the side, you discover what is most striking about the LongLine cab. Scania offers two versions of the new LongLine cab: CS28 and CS31, corresponding to different lengths.
However, Scania staff on site revealed that currently only one LongLine cab is produced — the CS28. Although the CS31 is longer and roomier, the CS28 is the only one in production at present.
The LongLine CS28 cab is 0.8 m longer than a regular CS20H cab. Where did all that space go? Step inside and you will know: looking back from between the driver and passenger seats, the original bunk area has been transformed.
The extra-large bunk, of equal width at both ends, gives drivers a good rest experience.
Storage cabinets are mounted on the rear cab wall, letting drivers carry more belongings.
You might think: with such a long cab, why no new interior tricks? The truth is that the LongLine cab is expensive, and its target users are extremely specific.
This recess is where the original rear door used to be.
By the way, the new LongLine cab has a link with China: it is developed from the R-series double-cab Scania built by LSV for Chinese fire services, and produced by LSV.

In addition, the new Scania LongLine cab features a dual sunroof design. The rear sunroof was originally created to bring better lighting for rear passengers; after removing the rear seats, the original sunroof has been retained.
As for the rest, the LongLine cab is no different from a regular NTG cab. For example, the driving area uses Scania’s latest SmartDash intelligent instrument system with dual large screens.
At the end of the article, let’s talk about the powertrain. This truck uses the Scania DC 16 123 V8 engine with a displacement of 16.4 litres, delivering 770 hp and 3,750 N·m of torque — the most powerful engine among European truck brands.
The chassis uses a 6×2 with rear-axle lift configuration, offering great drive flexibility: the lift axle can be lowered under heavy load to increase load capacity, and raised at medium or light load to improve maneuverability, reduce fuel consumption and tire wear.
The electrical cable gantry uses a custom metal honeycomb shell with the LONGLINE logo, adding a sense of exclusivity.
Due to the compact chassis, Scania places the batteries at the rear end of the frame, fully enclosed, with an independent positive terminal for easy jump-starting in emergencies.
The top of the frame has a metal curved surface to help locate the trailer kingpin.
Cameras around the body also help — after all, the LongLine cab is extremely long.
The 01 LongLine marking on the door means this is the first truck with the new LongLine cab.
From a flash in the pan more than twenty years ago to returning to the spotlight under the name S 770, the LongLine is no longer just an extended cab — it is more like Scania’s romantic promise to long-haul drivers: beyond efficiency, regulation and tonnage, it is still willing to give you a truly spacious home on the road.
