POWERFUL SOLUTIONS FOR CLEANER TRANSPORTS

Our range of gas powered trucks are highly adaptable with great driveability and low fuel consumption and a driving range up to 1700 km. The range goes from city and regional transports to include also long haulage applications.

SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED IMPACT

It’s no secret that transport is a major source of fossil CO2 emissions. But being a major source also comes with the ability to achieve major reductions.

Engineering without compromise

Our gas trucks strike the perfect balance between low emissions, power and range – the 13-litre gas engine with its full potential for long haulage, construction, and urban operation, and the smooth, quiet powerhouse that is the 9-litre. Together, they enable us to offer clean, low carbon and tailor-made fleet solutions. 

Flexible FUEL SOURCES

The first thing to say is that both gases are methane and the source can be both natural gas or renewable biomethane gas. Both can be used in parallel, making any switch from one to the other a straightforward and easy transition. One unit of liquefied gas energy takes up 3 times less volume than one unit of compressed gas energy. Simply, this means liquefied methane is denser and you can, therefore, get more energy on a vehicle than with compressed methane gas.

Empowered engines

Scania gas engines are known for their fuel efficiency, a typical semi­trailer tractor can achieve a driving range of approx. 1,700 kilometers. With biomethane in the tanks, the CO2 reduction is 50-90%, typically 80% from a well-to-wheel perspective compared to normal diesel. It is possible to specify our gas engines to meet strict noise regulations such as the PIEK-standard Quiet Truck in Europe where the powertrain noice level must not exceed more than 72dB(A).

 

DRIVING PROFITABILITY WITH A FLEET OF SCANIA 410 HP GAS TRUCKS

Valencia-based Delgo Transport specialises in refrigerated transports at both a national and international level. Today, just a year after acquiring their first liquefied natural gas truck, half of the company’s fleet of 110 trucks runs on LNG, and, so far, Managing Director Félix González likes what he sees.

 

“When we found that out Scania made gas trucks, 80 percent of the decision was made,” he says. “And the results we’ve had have been better than what we had on paper. Better consumption levels, and fewer emissions of course.”
