In September 2017, Scania entered the second phase
of the greatest vehicle development programme of its history,
in which the focus was placed on the construction industry segment:
the manufacturer introduced its new XT range of vehicles, specifically designed for heavy duty tasks.
Both in its appearance and its functions, the robust design of the new line is particularly advantageous
for customers who perform the tasks that represent the greatest challenges, with significant demands
in terms of operating hours, productivity and ruggedness.
The imposing exterior is backed up by over 100 years of experience.
Greetings!
My name is Árpád Kokovai, I work as a vehicle salesman for Scania Hungária Kft.,
and I would like to present to you a few novel features of the new Scania XT series in this environment,
which is truly suited to construction industry applications.
In that endeavour, I will be assisted by
the G 450 truck with an 8 x 4 Meiller tipper superstructure.
- It is a truly imposing vehicle, as you can see.
At Scania, we have a long and eventful history of facing up to tough challenges.
The solutions we have developed for both construction industry and mining operations
have taught us the exceptional importance of operating hours for our customers.
The new XT series is currently ready to prove this to you.
As a result of a major, extended development effort
in conjunction with testing procedures in realistic conditions of use,
the vehicles in the new XT series are much more reliable, more rugged and robust than their predecessors.
Looking at this vehicle from the outside, a few little details become apparent:
a single-piece steel back bumper with a 40-tonne towing structure,
lamp protection, robust rear-view mirror cases and the customisable powertrain and undercarriage configurations
are all characteristics that are shared by all XT vehicles.
The vehicle behind me is a G 450 with a B 8 X 4 HZ rigid chassiss
and a Meiller tipper bodywork – as I have mentioned before,
with a wheel base of 4350 mm,
and a 13-litre in-line six-cylinder engine capable of producing 450 horsepower and 2350 Nm maximum torque
– which you may already know from the road transport segment.
In essence, it uses the very same tried and tested, simplified engine technology
that is used in road transport vehicles.
That is to say, Euro 6 emission limits are achieved without EGR,
exhaust gas recirculation, and with a fixed turbocharger.
There is one other novel feature of this vehicle that I would like to emphasise,
which has also been introduced in the new generation Scanias,
but comes into its own in relation to the XT series here.
The vehicle behind me is a truck fitted with a CG 17 normal cab.
– The novelty is that until now, these short or semi-long cabs
were only available with flat, that is to say, low roofs.
The range of available cabs has been extended with the introduction of the XT series.
The vehicle behind me has a normal roof,
which, naturally, extends storage capacity further.
The entire driver environment can be rendered more comfortable.
Approximately 18 months ago, when the new generation Scanias appeared in the road haulage segment,
the R and S cabs were rather well-received not only among our customers
but also in the trade press and the profession as a whole.
I am convinced that the new XT series will continue that success story,
as a number of extra options are now available
that make everyday work easier for drivers.
The quality of materials used as well as the build quality
will set a new standard for this industry.
