A new Scania R 650 V8 with a Palfinger container transport upgrade has been delivered to the company Transport Buterin d.o.o. from Zadar. The Buterin family has been active in the transport business since the 1980s, and since 2018, their second company, Eko Recens d.o.o., has been engaged in the processing and disposal of non-hazardous waste.
This new Scania holds a special meaning for the Buterin family. The entire vehicle – both the truck and the body – stands out with its unique look and high-end equipment. It was carefully customized in honor of the late Jakov Buterin, who sadly passed away this year. Jakov’s passion for trucks guided the family in ordering and designing the vehicle, which is fully dedicated to his memory.

Transport Buterin has received a truly one-of-a-kind vehicle for this purpose in Croatia – a fully equipped Scania R 650 V8 featuring a liftable and steerable second axle, and many other distinctive features that make it hard to miss on the road: a roof-mounted camera, work lights on the cab and at the rear of the chassis, a sleeper cab, side skirts from a tractor unit, red-colored mudguard brackets and fuel tanks, electric sunroof, electrically operated cab tilt, Durabright aluminum wheels, and an Opticruise gearbox.

The truck is equipped with a Palfinger PST 14 TEC 3 container skiploader with a capacity of 14 t. The Palfinger lifter can transport containers with a length of 3000 to 4500 mm, and due to its design, the width can be up to 2000 mm. The lifter is operated via radio control and external alternative manual control. The lifter has a front mechanical and longitudinal hydraulic locking, which secures the container during transport.
