The Scania L113 was a step entrance and low entry single-decker bus chassis built by Scania in Sweden between 1989 and 1998. It is a low entry compartment to the low floor N113.
The L113 was largely a cross between the N113 and K113, with the front section of its chassis of a similar height to that of the N113, and an 11-litre engine that was mounted longitudinally as per the K113. However, it differed from both models by having this engine inclined to the side.
In Scandinavia, the L113 was sold mainly as an inter-urban bus, with bodywork by a range of manufacturers including Carrus and Ajokki of Finland and DAB of Denmark. It was also sold as a city bus in South America.
Sydney Buses purchased 102 step entrance L113CRB, 156 low entry L113CRL and 50 14.5 metre step entrance L113TRBs bodied by Ansair between January 1993 and April 1998.
A total of 77 L113s were supplied to Singapore – Trans-Island Bus Services taking 50 with Alexander Strider bodies and 15 with Greek built ELBO bodies between 1995 and 1997, and Singapore Bus Service taking 12 with Soon Chow bodies in 1995.
