1. Alternative fuels. The transition to renewable fuels can begin immediately, based on Scania’s diesel combustion technology.

2. Hybrid technology. Increased investments in developing hybrid technology, initially for city buses and distribution trucks.

3. Driver training. Driver training can improve fuel­efficiency by 10 to 15 percent. This corresponds to a reduction of 19 tonnes of CO² emissions for every 200,000 kilometres driven per year. At the same time, more careful driving will reduce repairs, damage and maintenance costs. Scania is now establishing a new global concept for its driver training.

4. Correct tyre pressures. Rolling resistance is optimised with the right pressure and right-sized tyres. Rolling resistance accounts for about 30 percent of a vehicle’s fuel consumption.

5. Improved efficiency in the transport system. Don’t waste fuel on empty or near-empty runs. The challenge is not to limit shipments, but to optimise all modes of transport and make them as efficient as possible – individually as well as in co-ordination with other modes of transport.

6. Greater cargo capacity. Longer vehicles and maximised cargo space.

7. Reduced air resistance. Unless correctly fitted, objects mounted on a truck, such as spoilers and auxiliary lights, increase air resistance – and fuel consumption.

8. Better fuel economy with the latest technology. Scania continuously works on improving its powertrains, which makes for better engines, lower transmission losses, reduced rolling resistance and air drag. Today, a long-haul truck carrying a load of 25 tonnes consumes about 30 litres per 100 kilometres, which is comparable to a typical 1.3-tonne passenger car carrying 500 kg and consuming 8-10 litres per 100 kilometres.
