To improve the driver's environment, increase load capacity, ameliorate passenger comfort, and significantly reduce fuel consumption, global commercial vehicle maker Scania has introduced a new generation Touring coach.
According to the company, leading provider of transport solutions, including trucks and buses for heavy transport applications, the load capacity in the front axle of the new generation coach has been increased by 500 kg, enabling it to improve weight distribution and higher passenger and luggage capacity.
The driver environment, along with the guide area, has undergone several updates, including new advanced driver assistance systems, Attention Support and Lane Change Collision Prevention, the company said.
Åke Allard, Head of Product Management, Scania Buses & Coaches, said, 'With a newly developed suspension and smooth gear changes, the new Scania Touring increases comfort for drivers, crew and passengers.
This, along with the vehicle's design and great driveability, increases safety for everyone onboard and minimises downtime by preventing accidents and limiting damages.'
Compared to previous models, the new generation Scania Touring can save up to 6% on fuel and emissions – without compromising performance. This is done through improved powertrain efficiency and new features such as the Adaptive Cruise Control with Active Prediction.
The design to facilitate maintenance, the high parts availability, and the new proactive uptime service – Scania Flexible Maintenance – help solidify the company as the primary provider of uptime solutions.
By continually monitoring operational data, Scania Flexible Maintenance allows maintenance plans to be tailored according to the needs of each vehicle – avoiding operational disruptions.
The new Scania Zone enables real-time vehicle adjustments in predefined zones. The possibility to limit the vehicle's speed in certain areas means that safety can be increased while keeping down emissions and noise.
