Description
Abandoned old truck Scania-Vabis L76 in Seydisfjordur, Iceland.
The Scania-Vabis L75/L76 was a series of heavy duty trucks produced by Swedish automaker Scania-Vabis between 1958 and 1968.
In early 1963 the improved L76/LS76/LT76 series was introduced, with an eleven litre engine and dual circuit brakes.
Since the 345 model had disappeared in 1939 Scania-Vabis had only built conventional trucks, since it was the most popular design in the Scandinavian market. By the early 1960s, many European countries introduced regulations limiting the maximum length for truck and trailer. This resulted in increased demand for forward control trucks. With the introduction of the L76 series there was also a forward control version, LB76 (LBS76 with trailing axle). The “B” stood for "Bulldog" which was Scania-Vabis’ name for forward control vehicles. The LB cab was fixed, which made access to the engine for service difficult.
