New Scania R-series: Real time advice saves fuel
“Scania Driver Support encourages all truck drivers to improve their driving,” says Claes Åkerlund, the man in charge of Scania’s global driver training. And an improved driving style saves fuel.
Smooth ride saves money
Scania’s driver training is an eye opener even for very experienced drivers. Belgian driver Danny DeRuyter gained many new insights and learned how to save fuel by 15 percent.
Life-long learning pays
“No matter how experienced a driver you are, specific tips can help you drive better, safer and above all more economically,” says General Manager Herman Smets of Transmet situated in Boutersem, Belgium.
The Scania way to fuel economy
Scania presents in an internet campaign how driver training sessions and certain equipment or accessories on the truck can have direct impact on the fuel economy.

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.
Scania and Sveaskog join in environmental effort
Scania is now running a training course in fuel-efficient driving for trucking companies that haul timber in parts of central Sweden for the Sveaskog forest product company. Results indicate that after training, the drivers can reduce their fuel consumption by 9 percent. For these truckers alone, this would represent 8,000 tonnes less carbon dioxide emissions each year.
