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.

Scania F93/F113

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 [2] ) and Brazil (both models).

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.

Scania L113

Scania N113

Scania S113

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