Productivity and energy efficiency
trucks, working vessels and gensets for continuous
operation. These fields of application suit Scania’s
focus on giving customers the best possible operating
economy and environmental qualities throughout the
service life of the product.
Machinery manufacturers choose Scania
Deliveries of engines for various types of construction
machinery and other heavy equipment commenced
according to an agreement with South Korean-based
Doosan Infracore, which has chosen to use Scania
engines in a large part of its product range.
In 2011, Scania entered into cooperation with
Shanghai Boden Engine Co Ltd, a Chinese distributor
of engines for gensets.
Expanded North American service network
During 2011, Scania continued the expansion of its
service point network in North America to nearly 200
workshops from about 30 previously. There is now a
continent-wide service network for equipment fitted
with Scania engines. This expansion means that
Scania can offer excellent support to its new industrial
customers, such as Terex and Doosan Infracore.
Doosan Infracore, a South Korean machinery manufacturer, has begun
to use Scania engines in its products. Its cooperation with Scania has
yielded positive results in terms of productivity and energy efficiency.
Doosan Infracore’s vision is to be ranked among the world’s top three
construction machinery makers. The company has grown in recent years
and has strengthened its position by acquiring the Bobcat Company
from Ingersoll Rand, as well as the Norwegian articulated dump truck
manufacturer Moxy.
As part of its growth strategy, Doosan Infracore is also investing in
its brand. Using Scania engines in the company’s dumpers and wheel
loaders contributes to this objective.
Stricter emission standards an important driver
New emission regulations that went into effect in 2011 prompted Doosan
Infra core to renew its machinery portfolio. Scania’s comprehensive range
of high quality, fuel-efficient engines that meet these high standards,
combined with an extensive service network around the world, contributed
to Doosan Infracore’s decision to initiate cooperation. The fact that
Scania engines are already prepared for new emission standards that will
take effect in 2014 reinforced this decision.
Productivity and performance
Doosan Infracore’s experience of Scania engines has met its high
expectations, and the results clearly demonstrate improved operational
performance as well as lower fuel consumption and emissions.
