Reducing environmental impact focuses on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions; preventing and phasing-out hazardous materials; and preparation for responsible handling and recycling of materials when trucks come to the end of their working life.

Fuel economy
With the P-, G- and R-series trucks, fuel economy has been improved by enhanced aerodynamics, smarter control of engine auxiliaries, as well as weight reduction.

Reduced emissions
Scania Euro 4 engines feature reductions of NOx emissions by 30 percent and particulates emissions by 80 percent compared with Euro 3.
We also now offer a complete range of Euro 5 engines with further reductions in emissions without sacrificing fuel economy or driveability.

Hazardous substances
Scania strives to prevent the use of hazardous substances in our trucks. When developing the cab each design engineer has checked the chemical content of the materials used. The ambition has been to phase-out hazardous substances.

End-of-life recycling
Eventually, today’s P-, G- and R-series trucks will be dismantled and recycled. For several years, Scania has issued dismantling information and provided material labelling of components to guide end-of-life treatment in an environmentally suitable and safe way.
