New Scania Touring: Building a global identity
Robust, high quality and easily recognisable. These were some of the guidelines for Scania’s styling team when the new Scania Touring coach began to take shape on the drawing board. Scania products are among the most important brand carriers for the company.
Scania Touring – new global coach range with special appeal
Scania is launching a new coach designed for occasional service. Scania Touring is built in partnership with the Chinese bus bodybuilder Higer, which has been found to possess the know-how, quality and capacity required to match Scania’s bus and coach expansion strategy. Parts and service support will be secured via Scania’s regular sales and service network. Scania Touring will be followed by other models in due course.
Scania Touring – new unique coach range
Scania shows the full spread of its bus and coach range at Busworld in Kortrijk 15-21 October 2009. The major news is the new Scania Touring coach range that reinforces the product offer for occasional operation and the new fully-automated Scania Opticruise, adapted for bus and coach operation.
New Scania Opticruise: Fully automated gearchanging – no luxury in a luxury coach
The new Scania Opticruise for buses and coaches is fully automated, relieving the driver of all work related to gearchanging en route. Electro-hydraulic clutch control is used for maximum smoothness and precision. The new gearchanging strategy is fine-tuned to give passengers a relaxed ride and several new functions are integrated to further ameliorate comfort.
Innovative hybrid bus concept from Scania
Scania is starting extensive operational trials of a unique hybrid-electric powertrain designed to improve fuel economy and emissions by at least 25 percent. Fuelled by ethanol, it reduces fossil CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by up to 90 percent compared to diesel. All parts used, including the energy storage modules, have a design life of 10-15 years.
Your vehicle in the 2010 calendar?
Every year the Scania calendar has a theme. The 2009 calendar focuses on the day-to-day work of drivers. For each month, a number of photos tell a little story behind the main photo itself. In 2008 the theme was “making a difference”. What the theme for 2010 will be is still a carefully guarded secret.
Selected for the calendar
Scania owners from all over the world have submitted thousands of photos to the Favoritescania.com website. Among the contributors was German superstructure company Moog, and now one of the company’s deliveries will be part of the 2009 Scania calendar.
Every drop of fuel counts
Drivers and fuel account for more than half of costs for a typical truck operator. Scania puts every conceivable effort into optimising fuel economy and uptime. This has a huge impact on the customer’s business and capacity to earn money.
