In November 2021, Scania undertook a wide-ranging technology iteration for the next generation of models after 2016, with upgrades to several functions and services, including the powertrain. The upgraded model is called the Scania Super, and the new model does not affect the naming and classification of existing models, but will add the "SUPER" logo to the front face.
We already know a lot about the powertrain of this series of models, and this time we will mainly talk about the chassis and fuel tank that Scania uses for the Super model. What are the specific benefits of a smaller, lighter, more efficient fuel tank and a more flexible chassis, which are described in detail below.

The new car has optimised the frame and chassis structure to enhance its flexibility. One aspect of this flexibility is the design of the tank position, the new chassis adds more options, and customers can install the tank in an alternative location according to their own needs. In addition to the flexible installation of the fuel tank, without affecting the safety and stability of the premise, the chassis also reserved a lot of holes, convenient for users to modify according to their needs.
In this way, it can be customized according to different functions and uses, and it is estimated that many users have thought of many solutions. However, considering the overall stability of the vehicle, it will certainly not meet all the needs, and the specific situation needs to be detailed at the time of purchase. At the same time, every time a jack is added to the chassis, the weight of the vehicle will be slightly reduced, which is also a way of lightweighting. The fuel tank of the Super model is equipped with a fuel optimization system, and this pair of good brothers is the protagonist of today.
First of all, let's introduce the D-shaped aluminum alloy fuel tank, the new fuel tank is stronger, smaller and lighter. Combined with a fuel optimization system on the side of the tank, fuel efficiency is further improved. There is a saying that "saving is earning", the accumulation is reduced to reduce the risk of fuel deterioration while further "slimming" the vehicle, the same amount of filling can run a longer distance, increase the refueling interval, regardless of time cost or consumable cost will fall.

The fuel optimization system with the fuel tank is very "smart", able to provide fuel according to the needs of the engine, and is controlled by the electric pump installed in the system. This reduces the internal loss of fuel in the powertrain and produces these beneficial results.
The first is to reduce fuel consumption and avoid sending excess fuel to the engine. Thanks to the more precise fuel provided, the combustion efficiency of the engine will also be higher. It is also due to the reduction of excess fuel injection, the extension of the maintenance time of the fuel filter, and the simultaneous reduction of the generation of engine combustion residues. Combined with the optimization of other technologies, the parts on the engine can be better protected, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the engine.
Relative powertrain in fuel consumption can directly reflect the fuel saving, although the above details can not directly achieve the effect of fuel saving, but its result orientation is to help save fuel, Dora. Scania's R&D team is committed to continuously improving vehicle performance and maintaining its competitive edge in the market.
