Scania L85

Scania's L85 used the company's modular engine concept — a 140 hp inline-6 that could be scaled up or down by adding cylinder modules. This clever approach reduced parts inventory and made maintenance simpler for operators. The L85 became the backbone of Scandinavian forestry and construction industries in the late 1960s.
