Scania press release

6 (6)
• The normal cruise control strives to maintain speed up the hill using the maximum torque band of
the engine.
• Scania Active Prediction uses GPS positioning and topographical map data to optimise the
speed going up-hill and downhill, saving 2-3 percent of fuel in hilly terrain.
• Scania Active Prediction uses a special, extra fuel-efficient strategy with Scania Opticruise in
Economy mode saving an additional 2 percent of fuel in hilly terrain.
Scania Ecocruise adapts the cruising speed to the topography by sensing the load on the engine.
Scania Ecocruise is only active in Economy mode and replaces Scania Active Prediction in countries
where topographical data is lacking. The fuel saving is up to 3 percent in hilly terrain.
