Improved engine technology, decreased air drag and rolling resistance paired with smart services and helpful tools bring you a fuel economy like no other, regardless of your operations.

Aerodynamics

At Scania, vehicle design is an ongoing process. The award-winning vehicles available today are the result of nearly a century of careful engineering, and of fine tuning even the smallest details in terms of aerodynamics and ergonomics. No stone has been left unturned in our quest for the optimal vehicle, from the grille to the tail lights. In fact, even the underside of the vehicle has been improved to minimise unwanted turbulence and drag.

The Scania modular combustion concept has been developed to maximise your potential for fuel efficiency, reduce your carbon emissions and give you generous torque. We take great pride in our ambition to always keep one step ahead in terms of engine technology, and we develop all key components in-house.
