Safety and technology

Intelligent support systems to assist driver
Efficient braking technology & comfort driver’s seat in term of ergonomics and safety
Wide-ranging testing & supreme quality materials to make sure every design aspect is safe and efficient

Disc brakes

Ability to function at high temperatures for long period while maintaining braking performance
Improved safety margin with repeated braking during hills descending
Lower the risk of “fading” by providing overcapacity
Asbestos-free brake linings for health & safety assurance

Electronic Brake System (EBS)

Every single wheel is equipped with electronics identify gripping capacity to distribute the traction or braking force
EBS comes with: Anti Blocking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Traction Control (TC), Drag Torque Control (DTC)

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBS

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an automobile safety system that prevent one or more wheels from locking, while maintaining steer safely
ABS is electronically controlled & it’s faster compared with compressed air
Improved safety by short reaction times and simultaneous application to reduce the total braking distance

Brake Assist with EBS

Additional brake pressure added to help driver & fully utilized all the available friction
Provide same pedal position with same braking effect to prevent irrespective of the load
Improved traffic safety by fully decelerating emergency braking

Traction Control (TC) with EBS

Improved stability control to prevents wheels from spinning which could cause instability or skidding
Enhance traffic safety on slippery roads

Drag Torque Control (DTC) with EBS

Prevent wheels from locking during engine braking by improving lateral stability
Ability to request engine acceleration to matches speed of the vehicle and wheel while the wheels are slipping
Enhance drivability & traffic safety on slippery roads

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

ESP system controls the throttle and brakes efficiently
Active safety system that protects car from tipping, under-steer and oversteer
Ability to detect when vehicle is at risk

Bus Stop Brake

Come with Electronic Brake System (EBS)
Bus stop brake make use of the wheel brakes to reduced pressure on all wheels
Activation and deactivation signals appear from body's electrical system when door are open
Reduce driver’s work load and enhance passenger safety

Opticruise gearbox

Fully automated & optimized gear changing
Handy & safe driving environment
Electro-hydraulic clutch control
Economical driving model
Decrease synchromesh wear
Decrease clutch wear

Scania Hydraulic Retarder

Excellent braking performance - 3000 Nm, yet to deplete brake and the standard wheel brake system
Constant downhill braking possible, low risk of brake overheating
Provide outstanding operating economy, high safety and maximize the average of speeds
Integrated into the gearbox
Lever or brake pedal operated

Ergonomic driver area

Provide driver to sit in a constrained posture
Qualified steering wheel and steering column fit the strict requirements in term of safety
Steering column and pedals are integrated to provide the maximum safety protection
Controls with minimize reach

Tyre pressure monitoring (TPM)

Equipped with safety sensors on rims and display tyre pressure in the instrument cluster
Warning signal is given when there is high or low tyre pressure
Lower fuel consumption proven
Low possibility of tyre wear and therefore lower maintenance costs

Independent front suspension

Improved stability and safety
Perfection of the stiffness for double decker vehicles
Low unsprung mass for good comfort

Fire alarm sensors

Three fire alarm sensors are installed with the electrical wiring on each chassis in engine compartment

Scania Connected Services

Access through Scania Fleet Management portal
Spot deviations in vehicle and driver performance
Updated performance trends
Vehicles and drivers comparison
Driver coaching or training planning
Exception reports
Service planning according to how your fleet runs
Map functionality
Vehicle tracking
Geofencing
Accumulated driving time information
Lower fuel consumption. A well-trained driver can reduce fuel consumption by 5-15%
