Scania Safety Features
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Safety and technology
Uncompromised safety, including many clever
support systems that help the driver
From extremely efficient braking technology to a
comfortable driver’s place for improved
ergonomics and safety
Extensive testing and high-quality materials
ensure that every design aspect is as safe as it is
efficient
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Disc brakes
Work at high temperatures for a
long time while maintaining
braking performance
Increased safety margin when
descending long hills and for
repeated braking
Provide overcapacity which
reduces the risk of “fading”
Asbestos-free brake linings are of
course a health and safety issue
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Electronics identify gripping
capacity for each wheel and
distribute the traction or braking
force to the wheels with the best
grip at the time
EBS comes standard with:
Anti Blocking System (ABS)
Brake Assist
Traction Control (TC)
Drag Torque Control (DTC)
Electronic Brake System (EBS)
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to prevent one or
more wheels from locking, maintaining the ability to steer safely
ABS is electronically controlled, faster than with compressed air
Short reaction times and simultaneous application reduces the
total braking distance and improves safety
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBS
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Helps the driver by adding
extra brake pressure and
making maximum use of all
available friction
Same pedal position always
provides the same braking
effect, irrespective of the load
Maximum decelerating in the
event of emergency braking
improves traffic safety
Brake Assist with EBS
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Traction Control (TC)
automatically prevents the drive
wheels from starting to spin,
which could otherwise result in
instability or skidding
Improves traffic safety and
mobility on slippery roads
Traction Control (TC) with EBS
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
DTC improves lateral stability by
preventing wheels from locking
during engine braking
EBS senses that drive wheels are
slipping and requests engine
acceleration so that the speed of
the drive wheels matches the
vehicle speed
DTC improves drivability and
traffic safety, especially on
slippery roads
Drag Torque Control (DTC) with EBS
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
ESP system actively controls
the throttle and brakes
Active safety system which
drastically reduces risk of
tipping, under-steer and over-
steer
System senses driver's
commands and actual
direction of travel of the vehicle
and acts when it detects that
the vehicle is at risk
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Bus Stop Brake
Available in combination with Electronic
Brake System (EBS)
Bus stop brake applies the wheel brakes
at reduced pressure on all axles
Activation and deactivation signals come
from body's electrical system, usually
when a door opens
Improves passenger safety and reduces
the work load on the driver
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Opticruise gearbox
Scania GR875R 8-speed gearbox with Scania retarder and Opticruise
Fully automated optimized gear changing
Convenient and safe driving environment
Electro-hydraulic clutch control
Economical driving style
Reduces synchromesh wear
Reduces clutch wear
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Scania Hydraulic Retarder
High additional braking performance -
3000 Nm, in addition to exhaust brake
and the standard wheel brake system
Constant downhill braking possible, less
risk of brake overheating
Offers excellent operating economy and
high safety and enables increased
average speeds
Integrated into the gearbox
Lever or brake pedal operated
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Ergonomic driver area
Well-planned driver area contributes to driver safety and well-being
The steering wheel and steering column fulfill the same stringent
requirements regarding impact safety as for passenger cars
Steering column and pedals are integrated to give excellent ergonomics
Controls within easy reach
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPM)
Safety-enhancing equipment with
sensors on the rims and tyre pressure
shown in the instrument cluster
Warns in event of high or low tyre
pressure
Results in lower fuel consumption
Reduced tyre wear and therefor lower
maintenance costs
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Independent front suspension
For stability and safety
Very roll-stiff especially
suitable for double
decker vehicles
Low unsprung mass for
good comfort
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Fire alarm sensors
A fire alarm consisting of
three sensors for fitting in
the engine compartment
is supplied with the
electrical wiring on each
chassis
Tom Kuiphuis – SSEA
Scania Driver Training
An increasingly important service for
customers
Provided in over 30 countries for a long time
Improved traffic safety
Reduced repair and maintenance costs
Lower fuel consumption. A well-trained driver
can reduce fuel consumption by 5-15%
