Model designations
The model designation breakdown is as follows:
Main type
F : chassis with engine located
longitudinally in
front of the front axle
S : chassis with engine located
longitudinally above the front axle
K : chassis with engine located longitudinally
behind the rear axle
L : chassis with engine located longitudinally behind the rear axle, inclined 60° leftward
N : chassis with
transverse engine located behind the rear axle
CN : complete bus based on N-chassis
CK : complete bus based on K-chassis
CL : complete bus based on L-chassis
Engine series
9 : DS9 or DSC9 series 8.5-litre engine
11 : DS11 or DSC11 series 11-litre engine
Development code
Chassis type
A : chassis for articulated bus
C : chassis for single-decker, two-axle bus
D : chassis for double-decker bus
N : F-chassis for heavy-duty execution
T : chassis for single-decker or double-decker bus with trailing axle
Steering wheel location
L : left-hand drive
R : right-hand drive
Axle/suspension configuration
A : K-chassis:
independent front suspension
B : K-chassis: rigid front axle, N-chassis: independent front suspension
L : N-chassis: rigid front axle
So K113TLA would be a left-hand drive tri-axle coach with independent front suspension, while L113CRL would be a right-hand drive two-axle citybus.

The F93 and F113 chassis had the engine mounted in front of the front axle. These models were not sold in Europe. These were made and sold in Argentina (only the F113

Scania K93/K113
The K93 and K113 were the most common chassis for coaches, with a longitudinally rear-mounted engine.
It was even available as the rare quad-axle K113TRB in Australia.

The S113 chassis had the engine mounted above the front axle. It was not sold in Europe. The S113 was discontinued in 1993.
