Scania manufactures two well-proven and highly competitive city bus chassis: the N chassis for when you want the maximum number of standing passengers; and the cost-efficient K chassis, which offers a lower initial cost, excellent fuel economy due to reduced energy-loss in the powertrain, and easily accessible parts for service and maintenance.
Available in 10.5 to 15-metre versions (the longer with hydraulically steered tag axle), this robust and reliable low-floor chassis offers the following benefits:
A 9-litre engine equipped with Scania EGR guarantees compliance with Euro 4 or EEV at all times and in all driving conditions, with excellent fuel economy and without the use of additives. Available in three outputs from 230 hp to 310 hp, depending on emission level.
Proven engine and chassis parts based on Scania’s industry-leading platform of common components for trucks, coaches and buses. Scania chassis are renowned for their exceptional durability and dependability and an impressively long service life – all of which means more hours on the road and lower operating costs.
High torque from low revs for fantastic starting power and relaxed performance.
The ergonomically designed driver station ensures relaxed and efficient driving, even at the end of a long day. The chassis front is adjustable to ensure the best positioning of the driver’s area.
The uptime-enhancing features include a CAN-bus electrical system with more functionality but less wiring and fewer components.
The fuel-saving features include an innovative air-processing system that uses excess energy to fill the air tanks, and an automatic gearbox that achieves higher torque at low speeds, while enhancing fuel economy.
World-class brake performance – now improved with an electronic brake system and electronic stability program.
Exceptionally rigid chassis frames with air suspension and anti-roll bars for comfort, stability and minimal vibration.
Adapted for low-floor or low-entrance applications, the low-floor version being fitted with a transversely mounted engine.
A choice of 5- or 6-speed automatic gearboxes, the latter with high torque in the starting position and overdrive characteristics in the final gear. Both models improve fuel efficiency.
Plastic low-weight fuel tanks – Scania EGR does not require urea-based additives and thus needs no additive tank on the chassis.
