The engine, which operates on either CNG or biogas, provides several environmental benefits. Compared to a conventional diesel engine, nitrogen oxide emissions are down by 70 percent and particulates by 80 percent. Based on the Otto principle like a petrol engine, this engine has a smooth character with a particularly low external noise level.http://scania.com/media/pressreleases/toolman3/1999/q4/19991115120000en64374.aspxhttp://scania.com/media/pressreleases/toolman3/1999/q4/19991115120000en64374.aspxMon, 15 Nov 1999 12:00:00 +0100From November 1999, Scania enables operators to run up to 120,000 km between main services with 11-, 12- or 14-litre Euro 2-engines in light European long-haulage.
