Scania manufactures two well-proven and highly competitive city bus chassis: the N chassis for when you want the maximum number of standing passengers; and the cost-efficient K chassis, which offers a lower initial cost, excellent fuel economy due to reduced energy-loss in the powertrain, and easily accessible parts for service and maintenance.
Available in 10.5 to 15-metre versions (the longer with hydraulically steered tag axle), this robust and reliable low-floor chassis offers the following benefits:
A 9-litre engine equipped with Scania EGR guarantees compliance with Euro 4 at all times and in all driving conditions, with excellent fuel economy and without the use of additives. Available in three outputs – 230 hp, 270 hp and 310 hp.
Proven engine and chassis parts based on Scania’s industry-leading platform of common components for trucks, coaches and buses. Scania chassis are renowned for their exceptional durability and dependability and an impressively long service life – all of which means more hours on the road and lower operating costs.
High torque from low revs for fantastic starting power and relaxed performance.
A new ergonomically designed driver station ensures relaxed and efficient driving, even at the end of a long day. The chassis front is adjustable to ensure the best positioning of the driver’s area.
New uptime-enhancing features include a CAN-bus electrical system with more functionality but less wiring and fewer components.
New fuel-saving features include an innovative air-processing system that uses excess energy to fill the air tanks, and a new automatic gearbox that achieves higher torque at low speeds, while enhancing fuel economy.
World-class brake performance – now improved with an electronic brake system and electronic stability program.
Exceptionally rigid chassis frames with air suspension and anti-roll bars for comfort, stability and minimal vibration.
Adapted for low-floor or low-entrance applications, the low-floor version being fitted with a transversely mounted engine.
A choice of 5- or 6-speed automatic gearboxes, the latter with high torque in the starting position and overdrive characteristics in the final gear. Both models improve fuel efficiency.
Plastic low-weight fuel tanks – Scania EGR does not require urea-based additives and thus needs no additive tank on the chassis.
