Welcome to the first

Scania Power

of 2019. Scania Engines had a

great 2018, but we’re not resting on our laurels.

This year we are continuing to roll out engine connectivity. By con-

necting each customer’s engine, we can obtain user data that helps us

provide even more tailored services. Our OEMs place high demands

on their machines, and uptime and reliability are crucial, as they are

for Scania. As you’ll read, connectivity also allows us to be proactive

and solve issues quicker if things go wrong.

Speaking of OEMs, we feature the work in Norway of our partner

Doosan. Scania has long focused on large OEM partnerships world-

wide. This helps us understand the market and puts a healthy pres-

sure on us to be the best possible partner to OEMs.

The Bauma trade fair is upon us, and we look forward to seeing

new trends in construction, including electrification and alterna-

tive fuels, plus OEMs’ Stage V equipment, much of which features

our engines. Beyond Bauma, China’s efforts to cut emissions and

promote sustainability and connectivity will be prominent trends in

2019. And Scania will be ready to respond.

The forklift

SUNDSVALL, sweden, 22 november 2018, 4 pm

Efforts to cut CO

emissions are influencing every

type of vehicle design, even forklift trucks! At a

pulp mill near Sundsvall on Sweden’s northern

coast, enterprising company EdiLog is taking

wood handling into the future, with an electric

hybrid forklift that realises fuel savings of up to

28 percent and can cut CO

emissions by 125

tonnes per machine annually.

The EdiLog forklift was the brainchild of Kjell-

Arne Engberg, the owner of mill transport con-

tractor Engbergs Transportsystem. The machine

is ideal for paper, pulp mills and larger sawmills.

After about half the life of the steel structure,

the components can be replaced and service life

extended at reduced cost.

Together

in electric

dreams

Great things are happening with the

fast-emerging technology of electric

power, says Mattias Rosengren, Lead

Engineer, Electrification.

When

Scania Power

speaks with Mattias Rosengren, it’s

only his second day on the job. He started as Lead Engineer,

Electrification, in September 2018, but almost immediately

went on paternal leave for two months after the birth of his

fourth child. Now back at his desk, he is eager to start devel-

oping electrification technologies for Scania customers. It’s

an exciting time. “The changes in electric drivelines are

coming quickly – faster than maybe many people believe,”

he says.

Primarily, Rosengren will explain to customers that Scania

can deliver whole systems, not just the engine. “As an automo-

tive OEM, we are strong in system integration, getting various

components working together as a system,” he says. “This expe-

rience is comforting for customers who are looking for a system

supplier, while others prefer a component supplier relationship.”

Rosengren’s job will see him cooperate closely with marketing

colleagues. “This makes us quite fleet-footed,” he says. “We can

capture trends and respond quickly to what customers want.”

Rosengren has worked in the car industry, and he says that

this sector has led the development of electrification, making

the different components cheaper and better. Electrification

is now featuring strongly in all areas where Scania is active,

such as excavators, cranes and ships. Rosengren’s first pro-

ject is to rebuild a ship that plies the Stockholm archipelago,

changing its engine power from diesel to an advanced hybrid

in which a complete boat driveline can go on electricity. He

explains that it’s a different challenge.

“Electrifying a ship is different from automotive [electrifi-

cation] because weight or space is not as critical,” he says. “But

there are other demands to take into account for use in an off-

shore application.”

Rosengren actually worked for Scania in the mid-1980s.

His CV also includes a spell with innovative luxury car brand

Koenigsegg, whose company website proclaims that nothing

is impossible. “This is something I bring to my new role at

Scania,” he says.

for the sustainability challenges now facing

the construction industry.

An articulate

response

Construction equipment

company Doosan Infracore Nor-

way has developed two new articulated dump trucks in the

30- and 40-tonne segment. Both dump trucks are powered

by Scania Stage V engines and will be launched at Bauma, the

world’s leading construction machinery fair, which will be

held in Munich, Germany, in April.

“We are in the testing phase now, and the dump trucks have

been running for approximately 2,300 hours,” says Jan Roger

Lindseth, Sales Marketing Manager, Doosan Infracore Nor-

way. “We are happy with the performance we are experiencing

with the Scania engines.”

In the range of 30 and 40 tonnes loading capacity, articu-

lated dump trucks normally require a power range of 250 to

280 kW in the 30 tonnes class and 360 to 380 kW in the 40

tonnes class. The expected torque is between 1,800 to 2,000

Nm, and 2,400 to 2,500 Nm, respectively. With this kind of

power need, the decision to use the Scania Stage V engines

was a given for Doosan Infracore Norway.

“As Scania has a common platform for their engines, it

gives us the flexibility to change between the different mar-

kets very easily and at short notice,” Lindseth explains. “We

also know that by offering Scania engines in our dump trucks,

we are offering the performance that is expected from our

customers.”

Doosan Infracore plans to launch its equipment (powered

by Scania engines) at Bauma. At this stage, the new trucks are

ready for the EU market only (meeting the Stage V emissions

standard), as the US market is continuing with Tier 4 final

standard and the rest of world is continuing with the Tier 2

and Tier 3 emissions standards.

The business relationship between Scania and Doosan

goes back a long way. The OEM has worked with Scania prod-

ucts in the manufacture of its articulated dump trucks since

1972. Head company Doosan Infracore acquired Doosan

Infracore Norway (formerly Moxy) in 2008 and has since

then incorporated the use of Scania engines in the wide

machinery portfolio offered by the company, including

wheel loaders, excavators and articulated dump trucks.

“Our long and successful cooperation with Scania is key

to wanting to continue our partnership with them,” says

Lindseth. “The easy communication during development

projects and the support for our projects is always very

good.”

The construction industry is changing, and in order to

be prepared for new challenges it is important to provide

dump trucks for the market that take into consideration the

new demands of construction equipment. Fuel efficiency

and the option to use biogas as fuel for articulated dump

trucks are just two of the areas that Lindseth believes will

become important trends for the industry.

“Big companies that are global players in the construc-

tion equipment industry are requiring more environmen-

tal focus,” he says, “and this will force the industry to adapt

more quickly than we had previously thought. The environ-

mental impact of the industry is becoming more and more

important, no matter where in the world your business hap-

pens to be. Companies that can focus on alternatives will

win in the long run, which is why suppliers like Scania are

good to work with.”

Lindseth also believes that the construction industry will

be experimenting with electrification and hybrid solutions

in construction equipment, with machinery such as exca-

vators leading the way in the future.

“We’ve seen the change to biofuel in buses, and we believe

this might also be introduced for construction equipment in

the future,” he says. “Of course, there are different require-

ments for different countries, but there is no doubt that the

speed of development and new governmental regulations

will encourage companies to find new solutions.”

The most cost-efficient

and sustainable produc-

tion comes from a mixture of gases created by the

breakdown of organic matter in liquid waste, sew-

age sludge and food waste.

With up to 90 percent reduction in CO2 emis-

sions, better air quality with less particle emis-

sions and lower operating costs than the equiva-

lent amount of diesel, the sustainability aspects of

biogas are also important – and impressive.

“This new gas engine is ahead of the curve,” says

Hans Petersson, Global Product Manager Power

Generation, Scania Engines. “We hear more and

more from our customers that they are inter-

ested in this type of engine and in renewable fuel

sources. We are starting to see an increased interest

in gas engines across the world, especially in Brazil

and Russia.”

biogas for power-generation purposes. It features

output ranges from 320 kW for continuous operating

power and can be switched between 1,500 / 1,800

r/min at 360 kW for prime power.

“This engine is another step

towards meeting

Scania’s sustainability goals,” says Petersson. “While

customer demand for biogas engines hasn’t fully

taken off yet, our customers will learn more about

the benefits of this type of engine. In the meantime,

we will continue to refine it, perhaps in collaboration

with some key customers.”

He believes that early adopters of the biogas

engine will include customers who are looking for

power generation and who have agricultural or

municipal waste in their industries. As a result, he

says, they will obtain “biogas for free, so they can

create their own power.”

Scania has pioneered the

use of alternative fuels for

30 years, and today it has

the broadest range of alter-

native-fuel-enabled heavy

trucks and buses on the

market. Biogas is emerging

as a readily available renew-

able fuel for both vehicles

and power-generation

purposes in many parts of

the world. The most cost-

efficient and sustainable

biogas production method

is to use local sewage or

connectivity

Since adopting connectivity in 2011,

Scania has gone on

to fit automotive connectors to more than 360,000 vehicles,

changing the very nature of service and maintenance in the

process. Now Scania is doing the same with its engines.

In late 2018, subject to customer approval, Scania began

fitting all new engines with the Scania Communicator, a

black box that looks a bit like outsized hard drives. The

company also initiated a programme to trace and retrofit

existing engines – again provided that the end users give

their approval.

The sheer potential opened up by the connected engine is

something that Claes Jacobsson finds hugely exciting. In his

role as Acting Head of Connected Services & Solutions, he is

in charge of the team that gathers all the data transferred and

translates it into valuable services that Scania can offer the

marketplace, as well as supporting the company’s network of

service providers in their work with Scania customers.

wealth of real-time user data that tells us when these engines

will need servicing,” says Jacobsson. “By analysing this data,

we can even identify any issue that may be developing and

send out a technician to do predictive maintenance on an

engine to troubleshoot any potential problems before it actu-

ally breaks down.”

Scania often speaks about the importance of custom-

er uptime. The significance of uninterrupted power is,

if anything, even more acute for the company’s engine

customers.

“A stone crusher at a standstill in a mine could have a huge

cost impact,” says Jacobsson. “You might see a day’s produc-

tion go out the window. People tend to be willing to pay quite

a lot to avoid that. We should be able to service engines in

the best possible way to prevent machines from coming to a

standstill, so here the sort of preventative maintenance that

connectivity enables is vitally important.”

Commuter boat operators

are set to enjoy similar bene

fits. Jacobsson, who used to be Managing Director of Scania

Great Britain, points out that Thames River boat operators in

London currently suffer similar penalties to public bus ser-

vice operators if they don’t deliver their service as scheduled

and in accordance with projected customer capacity. Timely

servicing should help put a stop to that.

Hospitals constitute another customer group that stands

to benefit from this vital innovative digital technology. In the

event of a power failure, gensets have to be used by hospitals –

and it’s essential for their engines to be in top working order.

The benefits are obvious. Why then is Scania only just

introducing connectivity to engines now? Jacobsson has an

answer: “The challenge for Scania is to be able to reach out

to end users worldwide to be able to offer them remote diag-

nostics to keep their machines up and running.

“Without connectivity, we have been unable to help our

customers in that way,” he continues. “Our trucks and buses

are registered, so even if they are exported, we can work with

them on remote diagnositics. Now, with connectivity, we will

know exactly where each engine is and how it is being used,

so we can offer customers an even better, more comprehen-

sive service.”

When it comes to existing engines that have not yet been

retrofitted with Scania Communicator, Jacobsson’s team is

now reaching out to OEM customers to get to where their

customers, the end users, are. In some cases, OEMs may

be doing the service and maintenance work themselves.

However, in many more cases Scania’s specific engine-

focused expertise could complement the OEMs’ own service

business.

With the success of the connected trucks and buses (pre-

senting customers with beneficial services such as Scania

Maintenance with Flexible Plans and Scania Fleet Manage-

ment), connectivity is also certain to revolutionise engines

as well. Thus, facilitated fleet monitoring and management,

more operational insight and higher uptime through proac-

tive servicing are now on the menu.

“It’s still at an early stage,” says Jacobsson, “but we believe

that engine connectivity will be of huge benefit to both

OEMs and end users, allowing them to optimise the running

of their engines, making them sustainable and maximising

their uptime.”

The Maine Lobster

Boat Races are an essen

tial part of this north-eastern US state’s calen

-dar. When lobster boats hit the coastal

raceways, Maine’s summer officially begins.

Heather Thompson is a fourth-generation

lobster boat captain who combines fishing

sustainably for this “red gold” with racing.

Thompson’s boat,

Gold Digger

, is a 36-foot

(11-metre) Wayne Beal powered by a 13-litre

Scania engine (DI13 086M, 675 hp, 2,300 r/min)

supplied by local distributor Mack Boring

& Parts. After racing just one full circuit, her

boat has won every championship in her class.

Thompson is under contract with the hope of

a TV show about lobstering.

“Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted a boat

to race,” she says. “I still get excited to see

all the different boats, listen to the engines

scream up and down the course and smell the

fumes. I am quite competitive so racing fulfils

that need. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or

woman; if you can drive a boat and you have

some power, you can do it.”

This year’s season of 12 races begins in June,

and Thompson will try to keep her crown. “For

me, racing has become an addiction,” she says. “It

breaks up the lobster fishing grind and gives us

something to look forward to. Having the sup

port of my family, friends and Scania, I consider

myself very lucky – as a racer and a fisherman!”

Every year, the US state of Maine holds its famous lobster boat races.

Heather Thompson is one of the star performers.
