based on this modular concept – for exam-
ple, one cylinder head can be fitted to all en-
gines, which offers a number of advantages.
Maintenance and repairs are more straight-
forward and fewer spare parts need be kept
in stock,” says Walter.
The modular nature of the engines also
makes them interchangeable. “In terms of
capacity,” says Walter, “We have anything
from 250 kVA to 700 kVA Prime Power.
Where customers require 700 kVA during
the day and only 200 kVA at night, two ma-
chines are installed so that when less power
is required, one automatically shuts down,
and vice versa”.
“Wherever there is a critical need for de-
pendable, fuel-efficient workhorses that
require minimal service and maintenance –
Scania gensets are the answer. They are built
with fuel consumption, dependability and
maximum uptime in mind and are further
developed to satisfy the power load needed
by the client in power generation,” concludes
Walter.

"Scania’s 9-, 13- and 16-litre
engines are all based on

and repairs are more
straightforward and fewer
spare parts need be kept in
