During IAA on 23–30 September, Scania will showcase a wide array of offerings, such as a new range of gas/biogas engines for trucks and buses and “Ecolution by Scania,” a set of products and services that minimises fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The Scania Touring coach is making its debut at the IAA. A new 3-axle version with two interior equipment levels and numerous comfort options has been added to the range. Also featured is a Scania OmniCity low-floor city bus built entirely out of alu minium to save weight and facilitate recycling. The optional adjustable dashboard complies with German standards.
A new generation of engines, designed to run on biogas as well as natural gas, provides characteristics similar to diesel engines.
With the addition of the latest generation of gas engines, Scania provides a uniquely broad choice for its customers. Customers have a choice of vehicles that operate on all fuels that are currently available on the market. In addition they can opt for their preferred emission control technology.
‘Ecolution by Scania’ signifies a new line of green products and services that help operators to minimise the carbon footprint and maximise earnings of their truck and bus operations – here and now. The concept comprises optimisation of vehicle specifications, vehicles that run on diesel as well as renewable fuels, driver support, operational support and special maintenance programmes.
The IAA trade show in Hannover kicks off on 22 September with Scania’s press conference at 08:30 CET, where Scania’s directors will present new products, services and environmental technology.
Ground-breaking engine technology, operating economy and professional support all the way.
Scania fleet management helps operators keep costs firmly in check. The service includes a data logging unit on-board the vehicle and communication with the office. The operator gets a comprehensive overview of how the fleet is running, which in turn contributes to lower fuel costs and helps motivate drivers. From 2009, digital tachograph data can be downloaded as well. The service, which includes GPS positioning, is fully compatible with a mixed fleet of vehicles.
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.
