It was launched as the first normal-floor member of the Scania Omni range with the first buses being delivered in 2000.

The technical name for the model was Scania IL94IB (IL94IB4X2NB230 to IL94IB4X2NB300, depending on power output), which indicates that it was built on the L94IB chassis.

In 2003, Scania sold the Silkeborg plant to Norwegian bus builder Vest Busscar, and production of the OmniLine was moved to Baltcoach OÜ in Tartu, Estonia.

However, later that year production was moved to the Scania Peter OOO plant in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The decision to end the production seems to have been quite sudden, as Norwegian operator Nordlandsbuss had ordered a batch of OmniLines, that instead were built as the slightly taller OmniExpress 3.40 (3.40 m).
