Scania's latest biogas engines, introduced at the previous International Motor Show fair in Germany, has revolutionised the market. The effective combination of G25 gearboxes and diesel axles has led to a 5% fuel efficiency improvement for long-haul routes.

Ola Henriksson, Scania Trucks' Senior Product Manager for Renewable Fuels emphasises the efficiency of these biogas engines when paired with Scania's Opti cruise gearbox and new axles, operating near optimal levels. The move to biomethane fuels like Bio-LNG or Bio-CNG is accelerating, driven by the urgent need for decarbonisation in road transport. These fuels can cut CO2 emissions by up to 90%. Scania's biogas engines, suitable for diverse applications, can power a 40-tonne tractor-trailer up to 1,800 km, especially with the high-performance OC13 engine.

Scania's commitment to sustainability is evident in this strategic combination, offering significant CO2 reduction and a viable step toward immediate decarbonisation. The expansion of biogas fuel stations across Europe reflects the rising demand for eco-friendly fuel options.

Built on Scania's reliable 13-litre gas engine, these biogas engines are set for increased market share, meeting future regulations. Henriksson believes the engines' CO2 efficiency, driveability, extended range and quieter operation will appeal to a broader customer base.
