### The Scania 112HW in ETS2

The Scania 112HW is not an official truck within the base ETS2 game. Instead, it's a **popular mod** that brings this iconic and robust Scania model into the simulation. These mods are highly cherished by players for several reasons:

* **Nostalgia and Classic Appeal:** The Scania 112HW (and its close relative, the 113H) represents a golden era of Scania trucks, especially in South American trucking culture. Many players have a strong emotional connection to these older models.

* **Brazilian Customization:** Many 112HW mods are heavily influenced by Brazilian truck styling. This includes:

    * **"Arqueado" (Arched) Chassis:** Trucks with raised suspensions at the rear, a common sight on Brazilian roads.

    * **Specific Accessories:** Such as unique bumpers (like "Bepo" style), custom exhaust pipes ("boiadeiro"), unique lighting setups, and various interior details.

    * **Iconic Liveries (Skins):** Often replicating real-world Brazilian trucking companies or classic designs like the "faixa cinza" (gray stripe) or "faixa vermelha" (red stripe) liveries.

    * **"Cabelo" style:** As mentioned in a previous response, specific aesthetic modifications.

* **Detailed Models and Textures:** Mod creators put significant effort into replicating the exterior and interior of the 112HW with high detail, including functional gauges, unique dashboards, and realistic cabin textures.

* **Realistic Sounds:** A major draw of 112HW mods is the inclusion of custom, high-quality engine sounds that accurately mimic the distinct roar of the classic Scania engines, often including the characteristic "pente na turbina" (turbine whistle/comb) sound.

* **Versatility:** Mods often offer various configurations, including different cabin types (e.g., normal, sleeper), chassis options (4x2, 6x2, 6x4, sometimes even truck bodies for carrying cargo directly), and engine/transmission choices. Some mods even offer options for "cavalo mecânico" (tractor unit) or "carroceria" (body/chassis for direct cargo hauling).

* **Community and Content:** YouTube channels (like those from "Pisc Games" and "Carga Simulada") and modding websites frequently showcase and distribute 112HW mods, providing installation guides and gameplay videos.

### Real-World Scania 112HW

The **Scania 112HW** was part of Scania's second generation of modular trucks (the "2-series") produced primarily in the 1980s. The "112" indicated a 11-liter engine, and "H" typically stood for a heavy-duty chassis, while "W" could refer to a specific variant or market.

These trucks were renowned for their:

* **Robustness:** Built to withstand challenging conditions and heavy loads.

* **Reliability:** Mechanical simplicity and durable components made them workhorses.

* **Powerful Engines:** Often featuring the venerable Scania 11-liter engines, known for their torque and distinctive sound.

* **Timeless Design:** Their classic, boxy, yet functional design has made them iconic.

In Brazil, the 112HW and later the 113H became legendary, dominating the highways and proving their mettle in various industries.
