Francis Bourgeois Explores Legends of Road and Rail
Francis Bourgeois, a trainspotter turned social media star, gets to experience two legends of the road and rail world. He climbs aboard the Class 37 and the Scania V8, with the latter being his first time in a truck, to explore the bookends of the Scania V8 story.
The Scania V8 and the Class 37 are icons of transport, with the Scania V8 inspiring fierce loyalty similar to brands like Harley-Davidson and Jack Daniel’s.
- The Scania LB140 was first introduced in the UK in 1971.
- It was a significant departure from the typical British hauliers' trucks at the time, such as the Atkinson Borderers, ERF A series, or Foden S24s.
Offer free V8 tattoos at a truck show and you’ll get a queue.
No other European truck maker could boast the same kind of following as Scania.
