Alternative fuels

Biogas is recommended for fleets and urban transport applications with short operation ranges, mainly because gaseous fuel is bulky and the tanks only allow enough fuel for a shorter distance. Gaseous fuels also require a costlier infrastructure.

Low fuel consumption and clean operation

The most cost-efficient and sustainable method for producing biogas is to use local sewage or waste. Even when waste volumes are limited, cities can use this favourable opportunity to power parts of local city fleets and in this way secure a supply of a locally made clean biofuel. Scania’s Otto engine, with its lean burn technology, provides low fuel consumption and a very clean operation, fulfilling the Euro 5/EEV emission level.

Biogas is renewable

Biogas and natural gas (CNG) are the same molecule (methane), but biogas is renewable and natural gas is fossil. The two can be used in parallel.
