Scania aims at developing engines that achieve the best possible fuel consumption within the framework of ever-lower emission limits. Up to 2020, it is only by saving fuel that a significant contribution towards sustainable road transport can be achieved. In heavy transport, the diesel engine fuelled by some kind of liquid diesel fuel will therefore remain the realistic solution for decades to come.

The diesel engine has a future
An efficient internal combustion engine is fundamental for resource efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in the transport industry. Measured against all known alternatives, the compression-ignition principle used in diesel engines offers by far the best efficiency. This is especially true in long-haul.

Fuel alternatives
In long-haulage, today’s fuel alternatives will not make a significant contribution to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. In inner-city traffic the prospects for alternatives are better. However, in all applications a highly efficient energy converter will remain top priority. There is a need for more research on a substitute fuel for fossil oil.

Emissions
It is vital for Scania to further reduce emissions with the best possible fuel economy, without losing the edge in driveability. Scania’s modular engines optimise exhaust emission levels for carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
