Of course, trucks also have their restyled and new versions, and has now joined one of the regulars on our roads: new Scania R Series.

Although we may not have the eye so used as in travel trailers, we do see some changes in the design, especially the huge grill Scania feature that now allows more cooling to be larger.

The engine range is quite wide (Scania share them with others of their vehicles such as buses), and has five engines, six and eight cylinders (the first two in line and the third is a V8). The displacements ranging from 9.3 to 15.6 liters and powers are between the 230 and 620 hp. Do I eat? Hell, do not imagine it.

The interior of the Scania R-Series allows for multiple personalization options, some of them really curious as integrated coffee on the passenger side.

It may take a dining table and work, bunk beds with mattresses and ladder to access it remote with several modes of alarm or shutdown and multimedia equipment. We do not know if the hook to hang the calendar of a woman sexy is standard or something of the past.

Scania Driver Support, learning to be a better truck

A very interesting detail of the new Scania R Series is the system called Scania DriverSupport. To understand, this is a system similar to Honda Eco Assists, who also have other manufacturers like Toyota or Fiat, but adapted to the complexity of driving a truck.

The system Scania Driver Support consists of several sensors that pick up the driving mode, and advise the driver and score. For example, measure how the driver touches the accelerator on a slope, try to anticipate braking (conduction efficiency) or select the appropriate gear.

The statistics are quite comprehensive and can be divided for each category of driving. In addition to measuring how well or how badly he does so with a score of one to five stars, also provides useful tips such as“Next time, release the accelerator pedal before reaching thetop”.

This system will come standard on most models Scania R Series designed to carry long distance, depending on the brand and can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%. It may also be interesting to try to reduce fleet emiones a company applying a bonus to drivers who get high score (more efficient).
