As a Scania owner, you already have a head start in the race to optimise fuel economy. Every vehicle we deliver is the result of more than a century of experience and expertise in performance efficiency.
Summing up our vast research and experience, we know that the affectable factors in the fuel efficiency equation boil down to three fundamental cornerstones: the vehicle, the driver and the service. It’s within these areas and in the intersections between them – such as driver support systems – we have explored large possibilities to improve the fuel economy for nearly everyone.
Vehicle – 10% potential fuel savings. Powertrain and weight optimisation are crucial first steps toward improving the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Other significant factors include aerodynamics, tyres and driver support systems such as Scania Ecocruise or Scania Opticruise. Consult your Scania dealer to decide which specifications make your vehicle most profitable for you.
Driver – 10% potential fuel savings. Even an experienced driver can improve his or her fuel economy by up to 10% with a bit of training. Scania Driver Training welcomes you to take part in the latest driving tips, tricks and techniques to keep your cruising speed up, and fuel consumption down – always in total safety. Scania Driver Support system help the driver to maintain the driving skills, while Scania Fleet Management enables fast and easy analysis of fuel consumption data, allowing close monitoring for a more efficient driving style.
Service – 10% potential fuel savings. When it comes to fuel economy, it always pays to keep a close eye on axle alignment, tyre pressures and lubrication, among other things. That’s why regular access to professional Scania service is essential to keep
