Apology for April Fool’s Day Joke – The “Scania Ute”

We’d like to come clean…

The “Scania Ute” is, unfortunately, not a real product—yet! This concept was part of an April Fool’s Day joke.


While we know the idea of a heavy-duty Scania truck combined with a ute bed and powered by our iconic V8 engine might sound like a dream come true, it was all in good fun.


We apologise if this caused any confusion or got your hopes (or engines) running a little too fast.



Thanks for being such great sports, and who knows? Maybe one day…
