Showing off the present and the future, Scania used its stand at the Show to display its wide range of offerings.
With comfy couches and interactive screens, attendees were filtering in and out of the stand to not only just look but learn.

“The stand was consistently busy with many visitors admiring the vehicles and chassis as well as having in-depth conversations with the Scania Bus Team, all of whom attended the Show,” Scania Bus and Power Solutions director of sales Julian Gurney told ABC.
“We were very satisfied with the attendance at the event in terms of the level of interest and inquiry received.”
Scania displayed a new Scania Touring 4×2 school, charter and touring coach that was the centrepiece of the stand, liveried for Australia Wide Coaches. On sale in Australia since 2018, the model has become exceptionally popular.
“We also have an image of the upcoming three-axle Touring variant on display, a 6×2, which will come to market in 2025,” Gurney says.
“It can be powered by our new 500 hp low emission Euro 6, six-cylinder engine and will feature all of Scania’s Advanced Driver Assistance System safety features.”
Also on the stand was Scania’s first fully battery electric bus delivered to DIT in Adelaide late last year, which has been in service for eight months. The bus sat alongside a Scania New Bus Generation chassis fitted with a Euro 6 diesel engine and a Coach Concepts K 500 three-axle coach.
“We are very impressed by the organisation of the Show in Brisbane, undertaken by BIC. Scania would like to congratulate the organisers for their success with the show,” he says.
“We are looking forward to the next show in 2026 and we promise to have several very exciting bus offers on display at that time.”
