Scania S540 Canivete is a popular term among Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) enthusiasts in Brazil to refer to mods of Scania S-series (Next Gen) trucks that feature an elongated chassis and often a lower suspension or customizations that give the impression that the truck “bends” or is more flexible, like a canivete.
Common features of “Canivete” mods for the Scania S540 in ETS2:
Elongated Chassis: One of the main features is an extended chassis, which can be 6×2, 6×4, 8×4 or even longer configurations, providing an imposing appearance and often allowing for greater virtual load capacity.
