Safety

Side Detection increases safety on all roads with sensors that detect objects in blind spots. In risky situations, the LEDs in the A-pillars will light up to alert the driver. The driver is hereby always aware of the surroundings. 

Located low down in the passenger door, the heated City Safe Window offers a clear view of what’s going on alongside the vehicle. Available for the P- and L-series, it provides outstanding direct visibility, reducing the risk of damage and accidents while enabling more efficient driving without compromising safety.

Our Area View Camera System helps you get a clear view of every situation. With four wide-angle 720p HD cameras that work together to cover the front, rear and sides of the vehicle, you’ll have full 360° visibility in every direction. 

On the dashboard the drivers receive live feedback from Scania's Driver Support tool, showing drivers how braking, acceleration and gear-shifting affect fuel consumption and road safety.

Scania ESP (electronic stability program) greatly increases driving safety by monitoring key stability parameters and automatically triggering appropriate controls. Emergency situations or inappropriate speed can sometimes result in vehicle instability. This is especially hazardous for tractor-semitrailer combinations, where even momentary loss of driver control could have disastrous and very expensive consequences. Scania ESP is designed to work on wet or slippery roads, where under- or oversteering often occurs, and on dry roads, where the main risk is a roll-over resulting from excessive speed or adverse camber on bends.

With ACC, a minimum cruise distance can be manually set by the driver. The truck will then maintain your cruising speed until you catch up with a slower vehicle; it’ll then slow down the truck to match the other vehicles speed, keeping the pre-set gap between you. When traffic clears in front of you, it’ll resume your chosen cruising speed. It’s cruise control made safer and easier.
