New Euro 5 Engine Range - UK Debut

Two engines from the new Euro 5 range announced by Scania last autumn will make their United Kingdom debut and take centre stage at this year's Commercial Vehicle Show. 

The new engine programme will gradually replace the current Scania engine range during 2008/9 in readiness for Euro 5, which becomes mandatory in the European Union in October 2009.  Within the programme several new technologies, including a new fuel injection system known as Scania XPI, (extra high-pressure injection), and a variable geometry turbocharger, have been employed to secure performance and fuel efficiency.
 
Three engines also comply with EEV, which stands for Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle, the strictest standard today on emissions control.  These units are primarily intended for urban applications and include an ethanol-powered 270 horsepower unit.

While SCR models are also available, Scania's new engine platform has been optimised for EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and Scania XPI from the outset due to demands and targets for performance and fuel economy, as well as for consistent environmental performance, robustness and convenient operation. With EGR, emissions are lowered during combustion, thereby eliminating the need for aftertreatment equipment and onboard tanks to carry additives.
