Launch control helps starting and reduces clutch wear

Scania has introduced a new standard function that improves performance when pulling away from a standstill, in particular in conditions of high driving resistance, e.g. starting uphill or heavily laden. The desired engine revs are maintained without the need to depress the accelerator further during clutch slip-in. Clutch wear will be reduced since the slip-in time is shorter in most cases. Greater precision in controlling engine revs with the accelerator when the gearbox is in neutral or when declutching.
