26 Market SCANIA’S – STRATEGY ENGINES<br />

Growth through performance<br />

and service<br />

In recent years, <strong>Scania</strong> has broadened its base significantly among purchasers of industrial and<br />

marine engines. A new generation of engines with improved environmental characteristics, low<br />

fuel consumption, high performance and reliability as well as an efficient service offering makes<br />

<strong>Scania</strong> an attractive partner in all customer segments.<br />

<strong>Scania</strong> focuses on engines with a swept volume of 9, 13<br />

and 16 litres. A large share of <strong>Scania</strong>’s engines are used<br />

for generator sets (gensets) for continuous electricity or<br />

stand-by power supply. Engines for industrial applications<br />

are showing the fastest growth and are expected<br />

to become the largest segment within a few years.<br />

Deliveries to marine customers are either for vessel<br />

propulsion or marine gensets.<br />

Rising standards, new opportunities<br />

During <strong>2011</strong>, tighter environmental requirements for<br />

industrial applications became mandatory. Two years<br />

earlier, <strong>Scania</strong> unveiled a new generation of engines that<br />

already met the new standards that have now taken<br />

effect.<br />

The next upgrade in emission standards will occur<br />

in 2014. Today’s <strong>Scania</strong> engines were developed with<br />

these new technological requirements in mind. This<br />

is an advantage for the machinery manufacturers that<br />

choose <strong>Scania</strong> engines today, since they will meet 2014<br />

standards with only minor changes in the installation.<br />

A new generation of marine engines was launched<br />

during <strong>2011</strong>. With these engines, <strong>Scania</strong> offers a<br />

complete marine solution, incorporating engines,<br />

transmissions and instrumentation. Given this integrated<br />

solution, the customer only needs to deal with a single<br />

supplier of these components and can concentrate<br />

more on its core business.<br />

Attractive engines for industrial customers<br />

The features of <strong>Scania</strong>’s new generation of engines are<br />

leading to clearly increased demand from both existing<br />

and new customers that use <strong>Scania</strong>’s engines in<br />

their products. Engines that deliver high-level performance,<br />

low running costs and high reliability – together<br />

with <strong>Scania</strong>’s global sales and service network – are<br />

important factors for customers that manufacture<br />

machinery such as dumpers, stone crushers, forklift<br />
