46 SCANIA’S SUSTAINABILITY WORK Key role for sustainable transport solutions Efficient cargo transport and human mobility are fundamental for positive social development. Scania is strongly committed to the task of building a transport system that will be sustainable in the long term. The company plays a key role in this task together with its customers, transport service buyers and other actors. Scania’s vision is that the carbon dioxide emissions related to the completion of a given transport task shall be halved by 2020 compared to 2000. To achieve this vision, Scania works with technological development, driver training and streamlining of transport service planning. Scania also advocates forward-looking transport policies and legislation that underpin the sustainable development of transport systems. Making passenger transport more efficient In and around the world’s growing major cities, traffic jams and limited accessibility are major problems that require good public transport systems to resolve. Safe, efficient and accessible public transport systems help reduce environmental impact and simplify daily life for everyone. Shifting passenger transport from cars to buses in urban areas has major environmental advantages by greatly reducing both congestion and emissions. The use of renewable fuels can further lower environmental impact. Together with its partners, Scania helps develop modern, efficient, attractive and environmentally optimised bus systems. They consist of comfortable buses that use dedicated lanes and enjoy priority over other traffic. These bus systems provide good information about routes and timetables. They allow boarding and disembarkation at specially adapted station platforms. Efficient bus systems are also a good way of creating attractive, safe commuting options that passengers can afford, thereby achieving greater mobility. This, in turn, promotes both economic and social development. Making goods transport service more efficient A substantial increase in transport services can occur with unchanged environmental impact if vehicles and existing infrastructure are used more systematically. Major environmental gains can be achieved by improving logistics systems for goods transport. Scania also supports allowing longer, more efficient vehicle combinations. In this way, it would be possible to increase the cargo capacity of each vehicle by 50 percent, thereby reducing environmental impact – measured per tonne of goods transported – and also reducing transport costs. Less energy consumption, better road safety Scania shall offer its customers vehicles with high safety standards and the best possible operating economy throughout the product life cycle. Scania develops vehicles with the aim of avoiding accidents and reducing injuries when accidents nevertheless occur. The development of services and products that help drivers make the right decisions is another important component. The driver plays a key role in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. Scania has offered driver training to its customers for a long time. By using a good driving style, drivers can reduce their fuel consumption by around 10 percent, thereby lowering transport costs. There is also increased awareness that good environmental performance reduces costs and strengthens a haulage company’s profitability. Today the cost of fuel accounts for about one third of a long-haulage company’s transport costs in Europe and is also considerable for other truck and bus companies. Continuously reducing fuel consumption and emissions is thus a central element of new product and service development efforts. A free choice between fuels Biofuels are crucial for further reducing carbon dioxide emissions from heavy vehicles. For Scania, biofuels that meet agreed sustainability criteria are an important element in efforts to reduce the impact of transport on the climate. As the standards for reducing carbon dioxide emissions become tougher and the price of fossil fuels increases, both the supply and demand for renewable fuels will rise. All Scania vehicles can run on biodiesel, and Scania also supplies trucks and buses that are specially adapted for bioethanol and biogas. All commercially available biofuels can thus be used in Scania vehicles. Report of the directors Scania 2011
