The Scania SBA111 is military 4x4 cross-country truck, designed and manufactured by Scania AB division of Saab-Scania, for the Swedish Defence, designated Terrängbil 30 ("Tgb 30").

Scania SBAT111 is a similar three axle truck in 6x6, designated Terrängbil 40 ("Tgb 40").

Tests begun in 1971, and Scania was rewarded a 225 million kronor order in 1975. About 1,700 SBA111 and 800 SBAT111 were delivered to the army, air force and navy, until 1982, when production stopped, but was restarted 1986 after an Indian order..

On Tgb 40s used for towing the Bofors FH77, the APU of the howitzer can be operated by the truck driver to add traction at difficult cross country passages.

The Swedish Air Force operates 50 SBAT111 as airport crash tenders. The airforce also uses 80 SBA111 with double-cabin in a special snow blower version, fitted with a Scania DS14 diesel V8 to power the snow blower.

The SBA111 is a forward control truck with a 6-cyl Scania diesel engine, a six-shift Scania automatic gearbox integrated with a mechanical two-shift transfer case driving all axles, the whinch and optional two other power-take-offs. Due to ample ground clearance, low center of gravity, locking differentials on all axles and automatic transmission, it has very good cross country mobility. It is fitted with a 87 kN winch.

Beside having one more axle and a larger capacity than the SBA111, the SBAT111 has a turbo charged engine, a 100 kN winch and a power take-off when a 55 kNm hydraulic crane is fitted or other hydraulic operated units.

There were limited export Finland. The SBAT111 was thoroughly tested by Australia, USA and Canada, but no purchases were made mainly by political reasons. In a minor number, some solo trucks where sold to China, Libya, Mozambique,Iceland, Iraq, and some other countries. When India, in 1986, purchased 410 FH77 Bofors howitzers, they also ordered 660 of a somewhat modified SBAT111. The Swedish Army then purchased 83 units of the improved SBAT111 and adopted them as Terrängbil 45 ("Tgb 45").

For civilian purposes, certain trucks where sold when extreme cross-country mobility was required. They where equipped for fire-fighting, sewer-emtying, sky-lifting, highlifting loading-cranes, water and oildrilling and as recovery vehicles.
