Scania UK recognized for its natural gas vehicles and green contribution

Scania has been announced as a winner of the Low Carbon Heavy Duty Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year at the 2014-2015 Low Carbon Champions Awards. Organized by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, this annual ceremony seeks to showcase vehicle manufacturers which drive innovation and can demonstrate dynamic progress in terms of reducing road transport emissions.

In awarding the prize to Scania, the judges recognized the company’s contribution as “an exciting example of a vibrant and innovative low carbon road transport sector in the UK that is going from strength to strength.” In addition, special mention was made to the advances made by Scania with regard to its gas-powered trucks and buses. Included here was the “Poo Bus”, Scania’s biogas-powered bus demonstrator, which has attracted the attention of the UK’s national media.

“We are naturally delighted to collect this award,” said Claes Jacobsson, Managing Director of Scania (Great Britain) Limited. “The environment has long been a high priority for Scania’s research and development engineers and today the fruits of their labors are clearly apparent; our biogas-powered vehicles, for example, are capable of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 98% compared to traditionally-fueled vehicles.”

The event was attended by more than 380 industry representatives and low carbon transport stakeholders.
