Urban Tipper Concept

Enhancing road safety in city centres

Looking out
for vulnerable
road users
Meeting the challenge
The demands upon Britains construction industry
transport operators have never been higher. With
politicians, interest-groups and the industry itself
calling for enhanced safety measures, initiatives
such as FORS and CLOCS have been developed
to help reduce risk and afford greater protection to
vulnerable road users, notably in urban areas.
In response to the challenge as the UKs market-
leading eight-wheel tipper supplier we have
worked with industry-partners and academic
research bodies to develop a new standard for
tippers operating within our city centres. Known
as the Scania Urban Tipper Concept, the vehicle
encompasses a raft of safety-enhancing features.

8x2*6 wheelplan
Breaking away from the 8x4 norm, the 8x2*6 configuration
provides a highly manoeuvrable chassis with three steering axles.

410 horsepower Euro 6 engine

Requiring only Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet the
Euro 6 exhaust emissions standard, Scanias 410 horsepower unit
has broken fuel-efficiency records in independent trials conducted
throughout Europe.

Semi automatic transmission
Two-pedal Scania Opticruise transmission enhances safety in
operation by reducing stress and fatigue on the driver.

Full air suspension

Enables the chassis height to be lowered when driving in urban
areas, thereby also lowering the drivers eyeline for better direct
vision. Suspension can be raised to increase ground clearance
when working on more demanding terrain.

Passenger vision door

Developed specifically for the UK market,
the large glass panel provides the driver
with a direct line-of-sight to the front
nearside of the vehicle.

Active safety features

The Scania Urban Tipper Concept features
a range of proven safety features including
Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB),
Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) and a Camera
Monitor System by leading safety solutions
provider, Brigade Electronics plc.

A truck for the city

Equipped with a lightweight Wilcox body, the low-height Urban
Tipper has been specified for applications where it is anticipated
that 90-95 percent of the vehicles driving-time will be on the
public highway.
