Intelligent style
What is it about Scania Irizar coaches that makes them the first choice of so many operators all over Europe?
Well, of course, everyone loves the stunning design and award-winning styling. Then come the Scania hallmarks
of driveability, uptime and fuel economy – proven over millions of miles. In addition, you can rely on
Scania to provide services to suit your needs and keep your business moving forward.
Outstanding fuel economy
The foundation for Scania’s remarkable ability to
reduce fuel consumption is our well proven Euro 4
and Euro 5 EEV engines. These state-of-the-art
power plants combine our unique high-pressure unit
injection with Scania EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation).
Three perfectly matched gearbox options are also
available to help achieve truly outstanding levels of
fuel efficiency. The net result is significant savings
and lower emissions, at all times and in all driving
conditions.
The uptime professionals
Wherever your coaches travel in Europe you can rest
assured knowing that Scania Assistance is always
just a phone call away. You will be able to talk to
someone in your own language for assistance with
practical needs, such as acquiring a replacement
vehicle, rescheduling ferry bookings and much more.
We have more than 1,000 service locations
staffed with Scania-trained professionals to keep
your vehicles rolling. And when parts are needed
we offer highly effective delivery through our shared
network with Scania trucks. Even Scania Irizar body
parts are stocked in our inventory. This means easy
availability with overnight supply anywhere in Europe.
When it comes to improving uptime, we’re with you
all the way.
Total operational focus
When it comes to your business needs you can rely
on Scania to provide tailored service packages that
suit all your ownership requirements and reduce your
administrative overhead. These include:
• Financing options with flexible payment plans and
insurance for solutions that offer predictable costs
and manageable risks to support your business
through economic cycles.
• Repair and Maintenance with tailored maintenance
plans and contracts that make it possible to maximise
uptime by proactively caring for your fleet.
We’re committed to improving your uptime at
every opportunity.
• Scania Fleet Management offers a number of packages,
from systems for vehicle performance analysis
that require no driver involvement, to powerful
on-board computers.
• Driver training to improve fuel economy, safety,
reliability and environmental performance, even
for experienced drivers. Better skills translates into
reduced damage and liability.

Instant driver appeal
Elegant form and function
in the driver station
The sweeping curve of the dashboard presents
ergonomically positioned controls. Unique features
like pendant pedals use the correct leg muscles to
make driving safer and more comfortable. A pneumatically
controlled adjustable steering wheel locks
easily into position. For optimum visibility you get
three integrated mirrors per side and an optional
rear-view camera.
Awesome torque meets
outstanding fuel economy
With powerful engine alternatives like the 12-litre
turbocompound, all Scania Irizar coaches benefit
from our “low rev philosophy”. This means you gain
a wide torque curve that starts at low revs to deliver
fantastic starting power and relaxed performance.
State-of-the-art Euro 4 and Euro 5 EEV engines
based on Scania’s high-pressure injection system
cut emissions, while reducing fuel consumption.
Fully integrated systems for superb handling
Optional Scania Opticruise automatically selects
the right gear to ensure that your coach runs
smoothly and economically at all times. The Scania
Retarder is designed to deliver a massive 3.500 Nm
of braking torque for constant speeds on downhill
gradients. Control them both with your fingertip
using the combined Opticruise and retarder lever.
Add electronically controlled antilock disc brakes to
our robust chassis with independent front suspension
and you get a superb passenger-car feel on
narrow roads, and predictable handling on the
open highway.
The Scania ESP stability program significantly improves
safety by monitoring key parameters and automatically
triggering appropriate controls. It works in
slippery conditions to help prevent loss of control
due to oversteer or understeer, and it works on dry
roads to help prevent rollover resulting from excessive
speed or adverse camber on bends.
Better brake lining wear control
and braking assistance
Scania’s electronic braking system (EBS) ensures
that brake linings wear evenly. This means fewer
visits to the workshop because all brake linings can
be changed at once. EBS also includes a function
that optimises brake pressure in panic situations.
The system identifies an emergency by evaluating
the speed and distance of the pedal’s movement.
Smooth and precise shifts
Comfort Shift (CS) is a computerised system for
easier and more comfortable gearchanges. The CS
lever is attached to the seat, so it’s always perfectly
placed in relation to the driver. The stubby lever
enables short, smooth and precise movements that
are transferred to the gearbox electro-pneumatically.
The result is a fast and reliable system offering the
ease and pleasure found only in top-quality cars.
Mastering interior climate
Double-glazing and highly effective sound insulation
ensures relaxed and restful travel. Fully automatic
controls steer two independent climate
zones – one for passengers and another for the
driver – with air conditioning, roof-mounted heating
and floor-level convector radiators for quick and
generous circulation of cool air or heat.

Scania Irizar i4
Where beauty meets logic
There’s a clear need emerging – for a regular-service bus that also works well in mixed
operations and in occasional service. This niche brings it’s own special set of demands.
That’s why we built the Scania Irizar i4 – where beauty meets logic.
Like no other bus before the Scania Irizar i4 provides the comfort of a coach with the
flexibility and economy to perform well in regular traffic. And there are so many options
and configurations you’ll be able to create exactly the solution you need.
As the addition to the Scania Irizar range, the i4 is instantly appealing, for drivers,
passengers and owners, alike. The streamlined aerodynamic exterior is matched by a
comfortable and tasteful interior.
We were uncompromising in our effort to fuse design and practicality. Scania Irizar i4
– the ultimate expression of logical beauty – for town or country, public or private.
So you’ll never have to compromise.
Enhanced Scania modularity extends beyond
the engine and components. Choices include
three different floor levels, various door arrangements
and luggage capacities for your special
needs.
Strong steel-monocoque construction
Meets or exceeds existing and pending requirements,
including revised ECE R66-01 rollover
regulations, to better protect passengers and
drivers.
Coach-grade climate changes the total air
volume in seconds using our top-of-the-line
unit. By creating an over-pressure throughout
the interior and luggage compartment it’s
possible to minimise the entry of dust and airborne
particles.
Efficient aerodynamic form and stylish
design has the visual appeal to lift and profile
your operations. Interior options combine style
with the flexibility of use you need.
Choices include various door arrangements
and luggage capacities for your special needs.
A wheelchair lift is also available, and many
other options can be specified to assure greater
comfort on longer journeys. The Scania Irizar i4
shares many body parts with other models in
the Scania Irizar range, which naturally means
greater parts availability.
Top-level ergonomics and superb seating
comfort combine with Scania Irizar’s famous
handling and manoeuvrability to enhance
control and driving pleasure – in city traffic
or out on the open road.
