Repositioning of the driver’s seat 65mm forwards and 20mm to- wards the side of the cab improves vision and as a result safety.
Needless to say, fuel economy is high on everyone’s priority list and whilst aerodynamics and weight saving can do some of the job, much of the savings are down to the power unit, and Scania claims a 5 per cent reduction in fuel consumption across its full range trucks, two per cent from aerodynamics and three per cent from the engines and finely tuned gear change systems.
Improvements also extend to the chassis with a change in the front axle position and an improvement to braking systems making the truck more stable under hard braking and sharp cornering.
In line with industry developments, Scania is also building on its connectivity. All modern vehicles, and indeed vehicle equipment come with sensors to monitor their performance. As the technol- ogy becomes increasingly reliable the uses for the data that in- formation collects continues to grow. From the maintenance point of view the data being collected by trucks from their sensors and sent by the Internet back to the data controller is legion. That big data enables the fleet managers, be they in-house, or at the man- ufacturers’ agents, to determine the performance of the vehicle. They can predict maintenance requirements, and help schedule advance repairs so that the potential for roadside breakdowns

降低成本
对每一个人来说,燃油经济最为重要。除了空气动力学和 重量节省能带来省油效果之外,更多的节省其实来自动力 单元。斯堪尼亚宣称其完整的卡车系列可降低5%的油耗 ,其中有2%来自空气动力学,3%来自引擎及微调的换档系 统。
底盘也做了改良,改变了前轴的位置和制动系统,使卡车 在紧急刹车和锐角转弯时更为稳定。
与商用车行业发展趋势同步,斯堪尼亚也建立了它的连接 性。所有的现代车辆和车辆设备,都配备了传感器来监督 它们的性能。随着技术变得越来越可以信赖,所收集到的 信息数据用户持续增长。从维修点来看,卡车传感器所收 集到的数据和由互联网送回数据控制器都很多。这些大数 据让车队经理、在公司内或在制造商代理那里,得以鉴定 车辆的表现。他们能够预测维修的需求,提前预订维修的 时间,降低车辆抛锚的风险。
同样的技术可用来协助监督和修正司机的行为,改善安全 性和加强燃油节省。它还能通过推广自动避免交通事故和 自动驾驶,改进道路安全。
《卡客车新闻》访问了斯堪尼亚营销主管莱文(Chris- tian Levin)有关这一方面的看法。我们指出,这些技术 都很好,数码服务如轮胎气压监测系统(TPMS)已经存在 很多年了,但却还没有普及化,而且即使对配备该系统的
