DESIGNED FOR
SUSTAINABLE AND
EFFICIENT MOBILITY
Based on more than a century of engineering experience, the new generation of Scania buses has
been developed to meet the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s cities; energy efficient, available in
a wide range of powertrains and offering the latest technology in everything from safety systems to
reduced emission and noise levels. And through excellent uptime, fuel economy and the possibility of
high passenger capacity, the new Scania buses allow sustainable mobility to go hand-in-hand with
operating economy.
