Scania Group Press Release  /  September 19, 2018

Don’t miss out on the news from Scania at this year’s IAA. Scania showcases the latest products and services due to help secure its lead in the ecosystem of mobility.

A new generation of hybrid trucks and an industry-first coach with an LNG powertrain are among the vehicles on display: all sustainable solutions with powertrains designed to run on renewable fuels and make a difference to the climate. Besides this, a wide range of engines are on show, with alternatives available for almost any application.

A new function has been introduced to the industry-leading cruise control system Scania AiCC Plus, which calculates the optimal distance between vehicles based on current road conditions. This takes us one step further towards true platooning. Scania Zone is an optional add-on in Scania’s Fleet Management suite. It allows each customer to link a policy (such as “Max speed 15 km/h”) to a pre-defined geofence zone so that when a vehicle enters the zone, it automatically complies with the regulations in place. A policy can be either informative, alerting the driver; or voluntary, which means that the vehicle’s behaviour changes but can be overridden by the driver. Added to this is the connected Scania C-me safety vest, which is designed to keep a protective hand over truck drivers.
