Financial and insurance
solutions
Scania financial service is dedi-
cated to helping the customers grow
and protect their business. Scania’s
flexible financial solutions make
costs more predictable and risks
more manageable throughout the
entire life cycle of vehicles. Wheth-
er the customer wants to own, lease
or simply operate your fleet, Scania
can tailor a financial solution that’s
right for your business.
Scania offers insurance cover tai-
lored to protect individual vehicles
or whole fleets. And with a single
telephone number for all contacts,
administration is fast and simple,
giving you more time to concentrate
on your business.
Scania truck can be individually
equipped to make life on the road
still easier and more enjoyable. Cus-
tomers can have microwave oven,
coffee maker or refrigerator fitted on
delivery. And if more personal touch
is what a customer needs, the Scania
combinations are almost endless.
Scania Driver Training can help
even the most experienced driv-
ers to drive more economically and
more safely and make a dramatical-
ly positive impact on your bottom-
line. Customers can expect to save
about 10 per cent on fuel alone, with
a significant reduction in emissions.
What’s more, tyres will last longer,
and the power train will last longer
and consume less oil. And lower
costs means higher margins.
A well-trained driver is far less
likely to be involved in an accident,
meaning less unplanned downtime
and lower insurance premiums. And
more uptime means more business
for you. When you take all these
factors into consideration, it’s clear
to see how quickly investment in
driver training pays for itself usually
in just a few months.
To boost your payoff from driv-
er training, Scania has introduced
Scania Driver Support, which is now
standard on long-haulage trucks.
Using sensors in the truck and an
innovative instrument panel display
it coaches drivers with feedback to
help them maintain the good driv-
ing skills they learned during driver
training.
