22 Market – BUSES AND COACHES Great potential in the bus and coach market The demand for efficient, sustainable passenger transport is increasing, especially in the rapidly growing cities of emerging market regions. To a growing extent, Scania is a supplier of comprehensive solutions that include buses and coaches as well as various service packages. Scania also participates in the planning of entire transport systems. Scania delivers buses and bus chassis with high passenger capacity for use as tourist coaches and in scheduled intercity and urban traffic. Scania’s modular system means that a large percentage of the components in buses and coaches are shared with trucks. This creates major synergies in development, production, parts supply and servicing. Great potential in urban traffic Investments in public transport systems are increasing as cities around the world seek sustainable solutions to their often acute traffic problems. Buses and bus systems play a key role in transporting passengers in an efficient, flexible, safe, environmentally responsible way. Good passenger capacity, fuel efficiency, reliability and environmental performance are important requirements in urban traffic. During 2011, the new Scania Citywide urban and suburban bus series was launched, offering very efficient passenger throughput and a high standard of comfort. Modern and efficient bus systems More and more large cities are building systems for more efficient bus transport. One example is Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, with dedicated bus lanes that shorten journey times and substantially improve efficiency in public transport systems. It is also possible to adapt the BRT concept for cities and regions outside of mega-cities, and a number of bus systems are now starting to be built in Europe. Scania has delivered buses and services to such bus systems in Australia, Mexico, South Africa and several countries in South America, among others. Sophisticated intercity and tourist coaches Good fuel economy, driveability, uptime and high passenger safety standards are key factors for companies that operate tourist traffic. Demands from passengers for a high level of comfort and good communication equipment are becoming more advanced. In order to provide the highest possible reliability and uptime, Scania’s strategy is to deliver comprehensive solutions. For example, the company has established close cooperation with a number of bodybuilders in order to offer customers fully built buses where the chassis and body are completely integrated. Scania’s cooperation with the Chinese company Higer represents a cost-effective solution, since Higer builds and Operations Scania 2011
23 assembles the bodies for the Scania Touring coach model in China. The quality standards are the same as at Scania’s production units, and Scania takes responsibility for all servicing of these coaches. The increasingly advanced technology in buses and coaches requires professional servicing. Scania’s extensive service network plays a key role in ensuring that bus operators achieve high uptime. Greater interest in renewable fuels The need for sustainable transport systems is increasing and so is demand for vehicles that run on non-fossil fuels. Demand for buses that run on bio fuels is no longer limited to northern Europe. For example, during 2011, Scania delivered about fifty ethanol buses to Brazil. In the mid-1980s, Scania was a pioneer in ethanolpowered buses. Since then the company has delivered 800 units to the public transport system in Stockholm, Sweden, for example. In 1980, Scania delivered the first gas-powered buses. In 2010, Scania became the first manufacturer to offer buses that can be run on all of the three renewable fuels that are widely used today – ethanol, biogas and biodiesel. Flexible, efficient bus systems Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems are a form of urban public transport employing buses that are supported by an infrastructure similar to that of a light-rail or tram system. Because of their dedicated lanes, right of way at crossings, better stations, ticketing outside the buses and other features, BRT systems offer substantially higher efficiency and average speeds. The transport capacity of a BRT system can match that of a light-rail or tram system, but at significantly lower civil construction, vehicle procurement and operating costs. Operations Scania 2011
