Scania builds high-quality trucks designed to deliver the best total operating economy. This means that when taking into account the truck’s operating factors, your overall cost of running the vehicle is as low as possible.
There are many factors that contribute to your operating costs, but there is no doubt that a premium-duty vehicle giving long-term dependability and daily reliability will achieve greater uptime, enabling you to maximise utilisation. Premium-quality also has an additional payback. When it comes to trading in, the residual value of a Scania is likely to be higher.
Minimised loss-of-use through unscheduled repairs together with consistently high levels of fuel economy will keep your overall running costs down.
Add in the benefits of fast journey times and competitive payloads, and you have increased potential for advantageous productivity.
Fuel economy – what makes the difference? At the heart of all our engines is the Scania modular combustion concept.
Of course, there are many factors that influence fuel economy, such as vehicle weight, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, transmission matching, driving expertise and driveability. Operating factors also have an effect; types of road, traffic congestion, and so on. All these are issues that feature prominently in Scania’s research and development.
The starting point.
But above all else, good fuel economy starts with achieving attaining the best possible combustion efficiency. The Scania approach to achieving such a condition right across the engine range is unique. By developing an optimised simple single cylinder unit capable of outstandingly high combustion efficiency, Scania has created a module for all engines. The combustion chambers for all these engines are virtually identical. By concentrating research and development of combustion technology in this way, it has been is possible to reach ever higher levels a level of refinement that is benefit beneficial for fuel economy, driveability, reliability, easy maintenance and low emissions right across the engine range.
