The first Scania car was finished in 1901. With water-cooled engine, chain transmission and a de Dion rear part. The car was a 4-seater, with light yellow coachwork and with blue fabric with yellow stars on the seats. Scania showed it at the first automobile exhibition in the Nordic countries, in Copenhagen 1902, together with a 2-seated "voiturette" and a motorcycle.

The second car was finished early in 1902, often referred to as the "Thorssinska" wagon after the constructor. It was a 2-seater, equipped with an extra ring on the steering wheel for controls. The third car is guessed to be a rather radical rebuilding of the second car.

Already in the middle of 1902, a year after the decision to build the first car, the decision was taken to start serie production of private cars. The first one was delivered in December 1902. Well, the serie consisted of just five cars.

They were called Scania Model A, and had a 4-seated coachwork where the passengers entered at the rear. The rear seat could easily be changed for a small cargo box. The cars had german Kämper engines, french carburators and a gear box with three forward and one rear gear.

One of these cars was driven from Malmö to Stockholm, to be exhibited at a car show. It made the 692 kilometre trip in astonishing 32 hours. Good publicity was given Scania, since other car makers said they would fake the trip, using train. So the drivers sent telegrams from every place they stopped for food or sleep. Swedens Crown Prince, later King Gustaf V, got a test trip with the car, and ordered a Scania – which added to the publicity.

El primer automóvil Scania fue terminado en 1901. Con refrigeración por agua del motor, cadena de transmisión y una de Dion en la parte trasera. El coche es un 4 plazas, con con carrocería amarilla clara y tejido de color azul con estrellas amarillas en los asientos. Scania lo mostró en la primera exposición de automóviles en los países nórdicos, en Copenhague 1902, junto con una "voiturette" de 2 asientos y una motocicleta.

El segundo coche fue terminado a principios de 1902, a menudo conocido como el "Thorssinska" . Se trataba de un 2 plazas, equipado con un anillo extra en el volante para los controles. El tercer coche puede definirse como una reconstrucción bastante radical del segundo coche.

Ya a mediados del 1902, un año después de la decisión de construir el primer automóvil, se tomó la decisión de iniciar la producción en serie de automóviles privados. El primero fue terminado en diciembre de 1902. En realidad, la serie constaba de tan sólo cinco coches.

Estos fueron llamados Scania Modelo A, y tenían una carrocería de 4 asientos donde los pasajeros entraban por la parte trasera. El asiento trasero podía ser modificado fácilmente para convertirse en una pequeña caja de carga. Los coches tenían motores Kämper alemanes, carburadores franceses y una caja de cambios con tres marchas adelante y una de retroceso.

Uno de estos coches fue manejado desde Estocolmo a Malmö, para ser exhibido en una exhibición de autos. Hizo el viaje de 692 kilómetros en unas sorprendetes 32 horas. Esto le dió a Scania una muy buena publicidad, mientras que otros fabricantes de automóviles dijeron que el viaje se había falsificado, utilizando el tren. Por lo tanto, los conductores enviaron telegramas desde cada lugar en que se detuvieron a comer o dormir. El príncipe heredero de Suecia, más tarde el Rey Gustavo V, hizo un viaje de prueba con el coche, y ordenó un Scania – lo que le añadió más publicidad.
