WE CONSIDER ALL ASPECTS WHEN IT COMES TO IMPROVING YOUR FUEL ECONOMY
At Scania, perfection is a process of constant improvement. In the game of improving overall energy efficiency, we leave no stone unturned. The outcome of this is award-winning results. Improved engine technology, decreased air drag and rolling resistance paired with smart services and helpful tools bring you a fuel economy like no other, regardless of your operations.
Aerodynamics
At Scania, vehicle design is an ongoing process. The award-winning vehicles available today are the result of nearly a century of careful engineering, and of fine tuning even the smallest details in terms of aerodynamics and ergonomics. No stone has been left unturned in our quest for the optimal vehicle, from the grille to the tail lights. In fact, even the underside of the vehicle has been improved to minimise unwanted turbulence and drag.
ENGINE TECHNOLOGY
The Scania modular combustion concept has been developed to maximise your potential for fuel efficiency, reduce your carbon emissions and give you generous torque. We take great pride in our ambition to always keep one step ahead in terms of engine technology, and we develop all key components in-house.

DRIVER EVALUATION TOOL
Follow-up and feedback is key to identifying and targeting possible improvements in the driving pattern. The Driver Evaluation Tool analyses and compares each trip to other trips made by drivers in similar conditions. The driving pattern is then rated based on parameters such as idling, coasting and anticipation, giving your driver valuable feedback on how to improve through the Fleet Management App and in the online portal.
