Environmental responsibility
Scania has always been very much at the leading edge when it comes to
developing and producing engines which are as environmentally friendly as
possible.
Major progress has been made on reducing harmful exhaust emissions in
order to comply with the stringent environmental requirements in force on
almost all markets.
At the same time, we have been able to maintain high quality in terms of
performance and operating economy for Scania Industrial and Marine
Engines.
To preserve this quality level throughout the entire service life of the engine,
it is important for the operator/owner to follow the instructions on running,
maintenance and the choice of fuel and lubricating oil as outlined in the
Operator's Manual.
Other efforts to preserve the environment we all share are possible by
ensuring that the person carrying out inspection and maintenance always
makes sure that environmentally hazardous waste after inspection and repairs
(oil, fuel, coolant, filters, batteries, etc.) is dealt with and disposed of in
accordance with applicable environmental requirements.
On a number of pages, this Operator's Manual contains specially highlighted
text with instructions to help protect our environment during certain
inspection and maintenance work.
See example
Certified engines
Emissions-certified engines have been approved in accordance with a special
certification standard. The certified engines supplied by Scania meet the most
stringent emissions requirements which apply on European (EU) and
non-European (USA) markets.
Scania guarantees that all the engines it supplies of a certified type are
equivalent to the engine approved for certification.
The engine comes with a special certification plate which indicates the
certification rules (standard) to which the engine has been approved. See
page 10.
The following are required for the certified engine to fulfil the emissions
requirements once it has been taken into service:
- Inspection and maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the
instructions in this Operator's Manual.
- Only genuine Scania parts are to be used.
- The inspection of injection equipment must be carried out by an
authorised Scania workshop.
- The engine may only be modified with equipment that has been
approved by Scania.
- Seals may be broken and setting data edited only once approval has been
granted by Scania in Södertälje. Modifications may be made by
authorised personnel only.
Use a container to avoid spills
when bleeding and renewing
components.
