Overland Adventure Trucks South America

Our South American overland travel groups' travel in sturdy, purpose built trucks. The majority of our vehicles are Scania 93 series 4x2 trucks of between 220 and 260 horsepower. They are custom built 23 & 24 seat vehicles made to handle & deal with the terrain and climates we encounter along the way on our trips. In South America our vehicles regularly visit either dedicated Scania dealership workshops or locally owned well established heavy vehicle workshops that we have dealt with for many years for extensive servicing that is overseen by our drivers.
During the trip, regular maintenance is also carried out by our drivers who are trained at our workshop in the UK. Our vehicles are built mainly in the UK, with practicality and comfort in mind so you can rest assured that we own and operate all of our own expedition vehicles.
