The Scania SBA111, designated Terrängbil 30 (Tgb 30), is a military all-wheel drive cross-country truck designed and manufactured by Scania division of Saab-Scania for the Swedish Armed Forces. Full name is Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive, generation 1, 11-liter diesel engine.
Scania SBAT111S designated Terrängbil 40 (Tgb 40) is a larger version, sporting three-axle, all-wheel drive. Full name is Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive Tandem, generation 1, 11 liter Supercharged dieselengine.
Tests begun in 1971, and Scania was rewarded a SEK 1500 million order in 1975. About 1700 SBA111 and 800 SBAT111S were delivered to the army, air force and navy, until 1981, when production stopped, but was restarted 1986 after an Indian order.
On Tgb 40s used for towing the 12-ton 155mm Bofors field howitzer FH 77, the APU of the self-propelled howitzer can be operated by the truck driver with a control unit to the left of the driver's seat to add traction on difficult cross country passages.
The Swedish Air Force operates 50 SBAT111S as airport crash tenders with designation Räddningsterrängbil 4112 (Rescue terrain-car 4112). The airforce also uses 80 SBA111 with double-cabin with three steering wheels in a special snow blower version, fitted with a Scania 258-kW (350 hp) DS14 V8 diesel engine to power the Rollba snow blower. The capacity is approx. 30 tons/minute of snow thrown 30 meters.
The SBA111 is a forward control truck with a 6-cylinder Scania diesel engine, a six-shift Scania automatic gearbox integrated with a mechanical two-shift transfer case driving all axles, the winch and optional two other power-take-offs. Due to ample ground clearance, low centre of gravity, locking differentials on all axles and automatic transmission, it has very good cross-country mobility. It is fitted with an 87 kN winch.
