Scania GB is inviting truck drivers of all ages to show their skills against a field of competitors from across Europe in the Scania Driver Competition 2018-19.

The competition will pit drivers from 30 countries in a battle for the grand prize – €100,000 (£90,500) towards a new Scania truck of the winner’s choice.

Theory tests started earlier this month, with the UK national round, and practical tests take place on 31 March 2019.

Participants will also be required to demonstrate their skills in a variety of challenges and exercises.

This year, the previous age limit, which permitted drivers up to 35 years old, has been removed, and Scania welcomes all truck drivers, regardless of their age or vehicle they drive.

The European final will be held in Södertälje on 25 May 2019. To register and for more details check out the Scania Driver Competition website.
