7 Advantages of Scania European Buses That Become Favorite Among Bus Drivers

United Tractors, Jakarta – Did you know that in Indonesia, Scania is one of the European bus brands that is loved by bus drivers?

The specifications of these buses are not much different. The differences lie in the capacity, engine, and unit length.

The Scania buses mentioned above are equipped with a reliable brake system, such as the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This feature on Scania buses is rarely found on other buses. That’s what makes bus drivers idolize Scania. Besides the features in its braking system, what other features can be proud of in Scania European buses? Check out the other advantages of Scania European buses below.

Scania is a bus manufacturer that is committed to realizing a transportation system by always bringing out the latest innovations. One of the technologies embraced by Scania is the Opticruise transmission system. Opticruise is an automatic transmission system developed by Scania, with its clutch control utilizing electro-hydraulic.

The application of electro-hydraulic is intended to make gear shifting smoother. The gearbox construction basis of Opticruise is a manual transmission with a dry clutch mechanism.

This opticruise system has been applied to every Scania bus. Whether Coach or City Bus, Opticruise makes drivers more comfortable operating their vehicle because automatic buses with Opticruise transmission are easier to control and still feel smooth even on rough roads.

AdBlue is urea-containing liquid that can neutralize harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water. Unlike other fuel fluids, AdBlue is not injected into the combustion chamber but sprayed into the exhaust system. With AdBlue, the exhaust emissions produced by buses can reduce excessive pollution.
