Claudio Magon is a devoted Scania fan. He has a tattoo of a Scania griffin along with the names of his five sons.

Poliservice is the main genset rental company in Brazil. Beside music shows featuring Beyoncé and other celebrities, Poliservice provides power for São Paulo Fashion Week and Rio Fashion and other large-scale events. In fact the company is scheduled to provide power for the 2014 World Cup. The kickoff for that event recently took place at Marina da Glória in Rio de Janeiro and involved 33 generator sets, each equipped with Scania 6-cylinder engines and supplying 500 kW of power.

Long relationship with ScaniaMagon’s relationship with Scania goes back many years. When Magon was 18, he left his hometown of Itapuí, in rural São Paulo, to work at Scania. His first stop was a small maintenance workshop of generator sets.

 “I slept in a small room in the back of the workshop, and early in the morning I came across a Scania engine to be fixed,” recalls Magon.

Years later, Magon bought a Scania engine that produced 330 kW of power and assembled his own generator set in his garage. Then, 15 years ago, he founded Poliservice. The rest is history.

Over the years, Magon’s passion for Scania engines has deepened. Now 82 percent of Poliservice’s fleet is equipped with Scania engines.

Machine Operator Anders Stenström has worked at the quarry since it opened in 1993 and operates not only stone crushers but also wheelloaders and gensets.

“It’s comforting that the Terex Finlay stone crusher is now available with a Scania engine,” he said.

“It’s not unusual that other engines have trouble starting in cold winter temperatures or that they are out of service for several days while we wait for parts. Scania engines start regardless of weather and services are readily available with swift delivery of parts.”

The stone crusher is powered by a 13-litre Scania engine with emission certification EU Stage IIIB/EPA Tier 4i engine, ranging from 350 to 450 hp at 2,100 r/min.

From extreme heat to Arctic cold. Scania’s new global engine platform can handle all demands.

Scania offers the widest range of heavy-duty trucks on the market, including a comprehensive range of V8 trucks. Now it can also provide a global range of engines, based on the same platform that matches emission standards around the world.

Refining truck engine platform

For years, Scania has been refining its truck engine platform, designed to meet the most stringent emission requirements. Soon, all customers, regardless of country or region, can order their preferred Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5, EEV or Euro 6 engine from the new range. The changeover is already taking place at Scania’s production units in South America.

In 2012, the new engines, as well as additional Euro 5 and EEV engines with SCR technology, will be introduced into European production. These engines can operate on up to 100 percent biodiesel.

“With this launch, Scania broadens its engine range covering all emission levels for all emission technologies for all markets needs,” says Vice President, Franchise and Factory Sales Latin America, Christopher Podgorski.

“The new global engine platform also takes robustness to new levels and consolidates Scania’s reputation for low fuel consumption,” he adds.

Scania leads the way

Scania continues to lead the way in meeting and exceeding emission legislation requirements and ensuring low fuel consumption. Since its original Euro 5 EGR engine platform was launched in 2007, numerous refinements have been made to improve the intake and exhaust manifolds, EGR system, turbochargers, pistons and cylinder liners. Liners, for example, are now plasma-coated for lower friction and extended service life.
Scania’s SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) aftertreatment systems have also been developed further.

Injectors for the urea solution have been upgraded to prevent clogging and on the latest Euro 6 engine family, electrically controlled urea injectors further improve control in combination with an advanced exhaust management system.

The new engine platform comes with the latest versions of Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder, and a new range of gearboxes, for even better uptime and productivity.

As Podgorski sums up: “These engine refinements, in combination with dedicated service support, will enable us to provide our customers with complete solutions tailored to match their needs in any part of the world.”

The use of a common bore on the 9.3- and 12.7-litre engines means that a large number of cylinder parts and components are identical, significantly reducing the number of unique parts needed and facilitating repairs and parts supply.

Built with the latest in EGR emission technology, the new global engines offer low fuel consumption as well as long service life, outstanding driveability and high performance.

The new engines all have torque-to-power ratios around 5, which is an industry benchmark, and maximum torque is delivered from as low as 1,000 r/min to provide exceptional low-rev driveability and fuel savings. Drivers will find that fewer gear changes are needed and driving is more relaxed.
Cruising revs for maximum fuel economy in long-haulage trucks is between 1,100 and 1,200 r/min.

The inline 5- and 6-cylinder engines share the same architecture and modular design, which was conceived for easy servicing and maximum uptime. The familiar engine architecture means that the products are recognised by service technicians worldwide, reducing the need for training.

“This has been highly interesting,” said Prince Daniel. “Scania’s operational management principles were clearly evident at the plant. The entire staff was engaged and involved, which impressed me since I manage a company and am interested in business  development.”

Prince Daniel also paid a visit to Scania’s health and fitness centre Gröndal, that celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. “I realised that Scania’s healthy attendance is very high. “Health promotion activities are an important factor in contributing to this. Scania has good training facilities and a determined strategy in its health promotion efforts,” the Prince said. He is well acquainted with the subject in managing a chain of gyms with some 100 employees and 5,000 members.

Finally, Prince Daniel had the opportunity to visit Scania’s DemoCentre, where the entire product range in vehicles and many services are displayed. DemoCentre helps give customers, opinion-makers, employees, salespeople and partners a real understanding of Scania. Prince Daniel also had the chance to test drive a few vehicles.

The Belgian company Dewulf has selected Scania's 13-litre engines for its new potato harvesters.

Dewulf, a Belgian company specialising in harvesting technology, has selected Scania’s 13-litre industrial engines for its new Kwatro potato harvesters.

Thanks to Scania’s SCR technology, the new 13-litre industrial engines enable Dewulf to comply with EU Stage IIIB emission legislation on its harvesting equipment.

Karel Decramer, head of sales at Dewulf, says, “Our experience with Scania’s 12-litre engine made it an easy decision to go with Scania again for our new Kwatro. We look forward to using the 13-litre engine; it’s a reliable workhorse with outstanding performance, which is especially important when crops have to be harvested at the right time.”

The Kwatro will be delivered to customers all over Europe.

David Taylor

David Taylor has been trapping lobsters for 50 of his 64 years, and he can’t imagine another life for himself. The Maine resident is so enamoured of his Crowley Beal 33 boat that in addition to using it for work he often spends his vacations on it. “I’ve also been known to come back from work, shower, and head right out again,” he says. “It doesn’t get better than that!”

Taylor built his 33-footer in 2008 from the ground up and with the aim of making it as light as possible. Many of the components on the 12,000-pound (5,455 kilogram) boat include foam. Building such a lightweight boat and equipping it with a powerful engine was important to Taylor, who combines his livelihood with a penchant for racing competitions.

“The Scania 650 hp diesel engine is really powerful and dependable, and it can take quite bit of pounding,” he says. “It has awesome power when you put the hammer down.

“The engine is very good on fuel too,” he says, “and it’s amazing what the oil filter traps. The oil looks clean until you take that filter out. Also, I applied white gelcoat to the inside of the exhaust pipe, and it’s still white.”

Taylor also appreciates the engine’s design, including easy accessibility to the coolant pump’s impeller. “Scania certainly thought of all the things that need to be attended to and made it easy to get at them.”

Anders Stenström has worked at the quarry since it opened in 1993 and operates not only stone crushers but also wheelloaders and gensets. “It’s comforting that the Terex Finlay stone crusher is now available with a Scania engine,” he said. “It’s not unusual that other engines have trouble starting in cold winter temperatures or that they are out of service for several days while we wait for parts. Scania engines start regardless of weather and services are readily available with swift delivery of parts.”

The Vändle quarry annually produces more than 700,000 tonnes of crushed rock. When solid rock is crushed, the volume is three times greater.

“Reliability and quickly obtaining services are really important for us,” according to District Manager Lars Bruksgård at Swerock, which operates the quarry. “The wear on the equipment is considerable and we usually can count on a life span of no more than 7–9 years.”
