Scania announces unique low entry cab for refuse trucks

Scania launches refuse collection trucks with innovative low entry cab for applications where the crew needs to get on and off the truck many times in a working day.

 

Kneeling offers a lower boarding height than any other truck in the segment, further facilitated by wide-opening doors on both sides. Extensive use of standard components secures uptime and parts availability.

Refuse collection is often characterised by hectic work schedules involving continual entry and exit for the crew. Scania's new range of refuse collectors can be specified to suit a wide variety of applications from inner-city bin collection to large-volume waste recycling container haulage. Cab and chassis options are tailored to match the needs of this competitive segment.

“Scania's new low-entry cab has all the prerequisites for becoming a favourite,” says Martin Lundstedt, responsible for Trucks within Franchise and Factory Sales. “It has kneeling, easy boarding and lots of space for crew and equipment. The working environment is as easy as possible on the crew.

“The all-steel cab uses regular Scania components to ensure immediate access to parts and service, thus securing maximum uptime for the operator.

“Customers wishing to switch to renewable fuels can do so right away. All current Scania engines run on RME (rapeseed methyl ester),” Mr Lundstedt concludes.

The engine has EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) for maximum operating convenience. This technology does not require the driver/operator to handle any additives when refuelling and no extra installations are needed on the vehicle.

Scania has since introduced a comprehensive range of Euro 4 and Euro 5 engines using both EGR (1) and SCR2 (2) (selective catalytic reduction).

Experience of Euro 4 and Euro 5 in day-to-day operation indicates that truck and bus operators prefer EGR because this technology is more convenient for many applications.

In other news related to Scania, MAN AG decided to extend the acceptance period for its Offer to the shareholders of Scania AB until 31 January 2007.

The extension of the acceptance period beyond the initial date of 11 December 2006 has become necessary since the European Commission extended the date for a decision on its anti-trust review (Phase 1) of MAN's proposed combination with Scania from 6 December until 20 December 2006. This date is immediately prior to the Christmas and New Year holiday season. All other terms and conditions stated in the Offer Document apply to the Offer.

MAN continues to reserve the right to extend the acceptance period and to defer the date for settlement in the future.

Scania trucks are engineered to provide excellent operating economy in any application. Engineered to high standards, they also command excellent trade-in values when changing owners.

1 EGR recycles exhaust gases into the engine to reduce NOx emissions. Scania’s high-pressure fuel injection system is used to reduce particulates.
2 SCR is an after treatment technology that cleans exhaust gases after combustion by injecting a urea solution into the exhaust gases.
