Until 1927 Scania-Vabis had produced their trucks at two sites: at Scania in Malmö and at Vabis in Södertälje.

This procedure was really not cost effective, Scania-Vabis trucks were very expensive and the company went bankrupt in 1921.

After reconstruction, Scania-Vabis emphasized their efforts on a "standard truck" which was first produced in Södertälje in 1925.

[2] Scania-Vabis’ new truck, unlike the older models, sported modern facilities like an overhead valve engine, four-speed gear box bolted directly to the clutch and the engine, prop shaft drive, pneumatic tires and a covered cab.

The truck could reach the dizzying top speed of 40 km/h (25 mph), a doubling compared to its predecessors.
