Scania – clean

and efficient

S

CANIA offers a full range

of Euro 6 and Euro 5

emission-compliant

engines for Australian bus

and coach customers. The

proven five- and six-cylinder engines in

9-litre and 13-litre capacities provide

excellent fuel economy and the

drivability bus drivers like, especially

when pulling away with a full load.

Scania has pioneered the Euro

6 offer in Australia using SCR-only

technology, combining excellent

performance and fuel efficiency. The

standard Scania engine for route

and city bus operations is the 310hp

five-cylinder with 1500Nm, while

coach operators are revelling in the

prowess of the 490hp Euro 6 unit with

2550Nm, which recently arrived here

in Australia.

With close to 500hp, Scania coach

drivers can rightly consider themselves

the ‘kings of the road’.

Scania engines can be mated to

ZF six-speed push button automatic

transmissions with built-in retarders,

or use the Scania Opticruise

automated transmission - again

backed by the effortless braking of

a high-performance retarder, which

reduces service brake wear, cutting

running costs.

In Europe, Scania is a leader in

the provision of alternative fuels for

even cleaner engine performance,

with bio-diesel, bio-ethanol, and

diesel-electric hybrid systems all on

the market.
