Chronology
Predecessor

The Scania New Bus Generation is the current modular range of bus and coach chassis from Traton-owned Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania. The first buses were shown to the public in late 2019, with deliveries starting in 2021, replacing the K and N series of the preceeding generation on the European market, and gradually the rest of the world. Unlike its predecessors, the range does not include any double-decker chassis, and no information is yet known about a front-engine version.

In Europe, the chassis are available as integral bus models Citywide and Interlink from Scania's own plant in Słupsk, Poland (until Q1 2024), and globally as Fencer and Touring from Higer. Bodywork from several other manufacturers are available on certain markets, including Irizar and Marcopolo.

Type designation system

edit

Refs.
Compared to the preceeding generation, there are two significant changes to the designation system. The major one being that the "type of transport" part, which included letters E, I and U is now gone. This means that the short-hand chassis types like "K IB" and "N UA" no longer exist. The other significant change is that there is now a code appended to the power rating which describes the motive power.

  • Example 1: C1 2502E3 B44x25E6I7
  • Example 2: K1 2802C3 B44x25L6B7
  • Example 3: K1 3402C3 B46x2*45N6B7
  1. Engine location
    • C: chassis with transverse engine behind rearmost axle Check if still true, or offset to the left?
    • K: chassis with centrally mounted longitudinal engine behind rearmost axle
  2. Power rating (rounded to nearest ten)
    • For combustion engines, including hybrids, in metric horsepower (PS).
    • For fully electric (BEV), continous rating in kilowatt.
  3. Motive power
    • C: combustion engine only (diesel or CNG)
    • E: fully electric (BEV)
    • H: hybrid-electric engine
  4. Chassis adaption
  5. Wheel configuration
    • 4x2: two-axle bus
    • 6x2: tri-axle bus with non-steered tag axle
    • 6x2*4: tri-axle bus with electrohydraulic steered tag axle
    • 6x2/2: articulated bus
    • 8x2: quad-axle bus
  6. Chassis height
    • E: low front and rear
    • L: low front, normal rear
    • N: normal front and rear
  7. Suspension

Engines

edit
 
One of seven CLF C 250E B4x2EI in operation in Östersund, Sweden since 2021. Scania have had fully electric buses on field tests in the city since early 2018.

Refs.
For the chassis range, Scania use combustion engines of three different sizes:

  • DC07: Inline-six 6.7 L (6,692 cc; 408.4 cu in), a reworked Cummins ISB6.7
  • DC09/OC09: Inline-five 9.3 L (9,291 cc; 567.0 cu in)
  • DC13/OC13: Inline-six 12.7 L (12,742 cc; 777.6 cu in)

With Europe as their main market, the engine line-up is focused on Euro VI emission standards, which has been mandatory in the EU and EEA since 2014. However, for other markets, some engines are available that only comply with the Euro III or Euro V standards.

Combustion engines are connected to the 6-speed automatic ZF EcoLife 2 or the 12-speed automated manual Scania Opticruise

For fully electric buses, Scania use the MG4115, which is developed and manufactured in cooperation with Traton-family member MAN Truck & Bus, who use it in their Lion's City E buses. The MG4115 is connected to the 2-speed Scania GE21S21 gearbox.

The different chassis types are divided into low floor (LF), low entry (LE) and high floor (HF). Most types are available with rigid front suspension (RFS) or independent front suspension (IFS) in general, but IFS may be unavailable in some markets. This table lists all known chassis types. It also shows what chassis types the integral bus and coach models are built on.
