The Scania-Vabis L36 was a medium sized truck produced by Swedish automaker Scania-Vabis between 1964 and 1968.

Scania-Vabis L36

By the early 1960s, Scania-Vabis’ trucks had grown so large that they were no longer suitable for urban distribution duty. Therefore, in the autumn of 1964, the company introduced a smaller model called the L36. It had a four-cylinder engine, also available with a turbocharger. The compact engine design allowed for the cab to be mounted unusually far forward. The truck had a payload capacity of 5 to 6 tonnes and was equipped with dual circuit air brakes.
