Floor level
The low entry point and flat floor up to the central doors area offer the same accessibility as for the low floor version in the front and middle sections. In the rear section a higher floor creates better view for passangers. The widened aisle contributes to increased accessibility, comfort and passanger flow.
Axles
The low entry Scania K-chassis is available in several variants enabling it to meet different operational demands.
4x2 - independent front suspension or rigid axle
6x2*4 - independent front suspension or rigid axle
6x2/2 - (artic) independent front suspension or rigid axle
Design features
The low entry Scania K-chassis meet the needs of operators on every continent. With total design and production control over chassis and powertrain, Scania delivers unrivalled reliability, durability and performance.
Quality chassis frame
The strong front axle and ability to use wide tyres give a load capacity of 8.2 tonnes, allowing high passenger capacity and optimised weight distribution between the front- and rear axles, important not least for gas- and electric buses. Available with rigid- or independent front suspension, the latter offers excellent passenger comfort and, by enabling a wide aisle (900 mm), also provides layout possibilities that increase passenger flow, space and accessibility. Further, chassis weight is kept down without compromising on safety or robustness.
Advanced powertrain technology
Scania´s dependable powertrains are available in battery electric and ICE variants, both offering highly energy efficient propulsion and comes in a range of power options to suit local and operational needs.
Optimised range
All Scania buses come with an efficient powertrain. While this for conventional buses results in low fuel costs and emissions, in electric vehicles, it instead primarily enables an extensive range that facilitates planning and the transition to electric operations. But battery capacity is about more than range. Taking all factors into account, Scania provides guidance to make sure the buses have the right amount of installed energy according to specific prerequisites and needs.
Unrivalled uptime
Well-designed and built on proven technology and components, the Scania K-chassis are both dependable and robust. Safety systems and digital services help prevent accidents, and sensitive and expensive components are protected in the event of a collision, avoiding costly and time-consuming repairs. Uptime services help minimise downtime and, when needed, remote diagnostics and excellent parts availability can rapidly get the bus back on the road.
A first-class driving experience
An overall well-balanced vehicle, a powerful and reliable powertrain, good visibility, and a great turning radius make for excellent drivability. Additionally, the advanced driver assistance systems enhance control through assisted steering and braking, with high levels of ergonomics and comfort, the digital interface, and the overall quality feel further adding to the driving experience. The Smart Dash gives drivers instant access to valuable insight that promotes informed, efficient and safe driving, while providing seamless integration with digital fleet management.
Safety in focus
Scania´s wide range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) supports the driver, whether on the open road or in busy city environments. The various functions increase road safety by keeping the driver alert and the vehicle in the right position, while also controlling the speed and distance from other road users.
