The Scania S-Series is no wallflower in the paddock. Launched in 2016 as part of the New Generation Scania programme, it brought a completely redesigned cab with a flat floor, revised aerodynamics and multiple roof-height configurations. In WRC service, high-roof variants of the S-Series have become the preferred choice for team transporters, carrying workshop equipment, spare parts and hospitality infrastructure from one special stage to the next across a calendar that spans Monte Carlo in January to Rally Japan in November.
The Scania S-Series in Motorsport Logistics
Since its introduction in 2016, the Scania S-Series cab has established itself as the backbone of premium motorsport logistics across Europe. The high-roof configuration offers the internal headroom needed to integrate proper workshop facilities, and the cab's 2,350 mm length keeps the overall transporter manoeuvrable on tight Alpine stages and port approaches. In the WRC paddock, S-Series units from multiple manufacturers' logistics fleets line up side by side, making livery identity the primary means of differentiation at a glance.
Toyota Gazoo Racing's Black Transporter Scheme in 2024
Toyota Gazoo Racing has operated as a factory WRC team since 2017, and by 2024 the squad was fielding the GR Yaris Rally1 hybrid with Sébastien Ogier, Elfyn Evans and Kalle Rovanperä. The 2024 season logistics fleet adopted a predominantly black livery aligned with the GR brand identity, a deliberate visual departure from earlier white and red transporter schemes. That colour shift makes the 2024 transporter a season-specific document: it records a defined moment in Toyota's visual history at the top level of rally competition.
IXO Models TTR Series: Die-Cast Truck Collecting at 1:43
IXO Models' TTR range is the principal 1:43 scale model series dedicated to WRC and motorsport team transporters, covering Scania S-Series subjects alongside other marques. The Toyota GR Racing 2024 entry in that range is rendered in die-cast metal, reproducing the black GR Racing livery across the cab surfaces. Large-format truck subjects are considerably rarer in 1:43 die-cast than competition cars, which gives this piece a distinctive shelf profile in any rally-themed display.
Building a 2024 Toyota WRC Display
The TTR Scania pairs directly with IXO's 1:43 Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 models from the 2024 WRC season — Ogier's Monte Carlo-winning car being the natural companion piece — to present a complete front-of-house and behind-the-scenes team portrait. Adding the equivalent Hyundai Motorsport and M-Sport Ford Scania transporters from the same TTR series extends the display into a full 2024 WRC paddock scene. Earlier white and red Toyota transporter subjects from previous TTR releases trace the evolution of the team's visual identity from 2017 onwards.
