Finding the right solution

Making transport smarter

Through a close dialogue with our customers and other partners and stakeholders, Scania helps drive down the transport sector’s carbon footprint and ensure profitability by optimising the entire flow, from supplier to end consumer. We have tools to analyse and optimise any given transport fleet with the right choice of alternative fuels.

THE MEETING

We discuss your specific transport challenges and emission targets– and we illustrate how Scania can help you.

THE ANALYSIS

A Scania expert takes a closer look at your operation using the Fleet Composer, and proposes measures needed to reach your emission targets.

THE SWITCH

Implementing the solution might include new vehicles running on alternative fuels, energy-saving actions and ways to make your transports smarter.

“In addition to the positive environmental effects, the gas engine offers a very good operating cost.”

Jaques Chapin,

Manager of STB, Biocoop’s wholly-owned transport company, France

Turning visions into reality

Scania offers the widest range of ready-to-go gas, bioethanol, biodiesel, HVO and electrified solutions available on the market.

Electrified

92% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel (hybrid and HVO combination). The hybrid runs on electrical power, in combination with a biofuel. This greatly reduces fuel consumption, leading to lower emissions.

HVO

90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) can be made from waste oil, rape seed oil and animal fat, and used to create high-quality, bio-based diesel fuels.

Bioethanol

90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Produced from waste sugar cane, wheat and corn, it’s easy to produce and is likely to be sustainable in large volumes in the future, globally.

Biodiesel

66% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Biodiesel (or FAME, as in fatty acid methyl ester) can be made from rapeseed and waste cooking oil. Available in large quantities, it can also be blended with diesel.

Biogas

90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter, including agricultural and municipal waste.

Natural gas

20% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Natural gas is methane from pockets in the Earth’s crust. Although it’s a fossil fuel, it emits less CO₂ than diesel.
