SCANIA: Clean engines and new era
THE CUSTOMER'S PROBLEM Scania France is the only manufacturer to offer Euro VI coaches running on Diesel, CNG and ethanol. Concerned about the real performance of its vehicles, the manufacturer carried out extraordinary comparative tests, coordinated by ADEME and executed by CRMT. The objective was evaluate precisely and by a scientific method, the emissions of these coaches under operating conditions.
CRMT’S SOLUTION The Swedish manufacturer's coach emissions were measured under real conditions and then compared between the three Euro VI engines: GNV, ethanol and diesel. A report which, on several points, validates the excellent performances of gas in comparison with diesel.
WHAT’S MORE "This is the first time that we have done tests with the CRMT, it is very rigorous! What we want now is that every brand can do it ". Gilles Baustrert – SCANIA
At CRMT, we are committed to being as close to our customers as possible and we highly value their feedback which help us improve our services every day.
