Axles
The low entry Scania K-chassis is available in several variants enabling it to meet different operational demands.
4x2 - independent suspension or rigid axle
6x2*4 - independent suspension or rigid axle
6x2/2 - (artic) independent suspension or rigid axle
3-axles, 6x2 - independent suspension or rigid axles
Floor level
The low entry point and flat floor up to the central doors area offer the same accessibility as for the low floor version in the front and middle sections. In the rear section a higher floor creates better view for passengers. The widened aisle contributes to increased accessibility, comfort and passenger flow.
Design features
The low entry Scania K-chassis meet the needs of operators on every continent. With total design and production control over chassis and powertrain, Scania delivers unrivalled reliability, durability and performance.
Chassis frame
The strengthened front axle, in combination with the ability to now use wider tyres, means that load capacity is increased from 7.1 to 8.2 tonnes. This allows for higher passenger capacity. It also enables optimised weight distribution between the front and rear axles – especially important for gas vehicles.
Powertrain technology
The highly dependable, durable, and robust powertrains enable fuel savings of up to 9%.
Fuel tanks
Available in several volume options suitable for urban operations. The shape of the 140–360 litre (usable volumes) fuel tanks is optimised for the inner layout to enable seat mounting closer to the wheelhouses. The 450 or 560 litre
(usable volumes) tanks can, in high articulation buses, be placed by the centre axle.
Articulation control
Scania has an industry-leading control system for articulated variants that uses wheelspin control, traction control, articulation damping system and a patented sway control. This prevents instability and jack-knifing while also facilitating handling, manoeuvrability, and safe driving in slippery conditions and during lane changes at high speeds.
Driver area
Offers excellent ergonomics through adjustable instrument panel and flexible switch placement . A lower instrument panel increases visibility. The buses have excellent drivability with a great turning radius, advanced driver assistance systems, and improved assisted handling, steering and braking. Also, they offer increased safety, a better climate system and good noise and vibration reduction.
Front suspension technology
Without compromising on passenger capacity, the new independent front suspension offers excellent passenger comfort and enables a wider aisle (900 mm) – resulting in new layout possibilities, increased passenger flow, space and accessibility. The new rigid front suspension also increases passenger capacity and offers good passenger comfort.
