Scania presented Scania Dynamic, an update for its R and S models  that seeks to increase energy efficiency and improve the working conditions of the operator, both in tractor units with combustion engines and in battery electric units.

The company estimated that the modifications allow for a reduction of around 2% in total energy consumption , although the result depends on the vehicle specification and operating conditions.

“At Scania, we don’t take our position for granted. We need to maintain our premium offering. With the introduction of Scania Dynamic, we’re improving the operator environment as well as energy efficiency. We’re making what already works even better,” said Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania and the TRATON Group, in a statement.

Much of this improvement is on the exterior. The brand incorporated digital rearview mirrors , side skirt extensions, redesigned A-pillars, new door handles, and a modified front end—elements that aim to reduce aerodynamic drag.

The change also points to a trend that is gaining momentum among heavy vehicle manufacturers: making efficiency not solely dependent on the engine or powertrain, but on the vehicle as a whole.

In combustion engine models, lower energy demand can translate into lower fuel consumption; in electric vehicles, into better use of the energy stored in the batteries. For fleets, the goal is the same: to reduce operating costs without sacrificing performance.

Scania Dynamic also brings many of its new features to the cab interior. The update includes new materials, lighting options , redesigned seats, and an 800-millimeter reclining bed with an adjustable backrest offering various resting positions.

“For operators who spend hours on the road, these improvements transform the cab into an ideal place to work, rest, and recover. Because a relaxed operator is not only more comfortable; a more intuitive working environment promotes concentration, reduces fatigue, and contributes to safer operations,” said Lars Gustafsson, Senior Vice President and Director of Solutions Management at Scania.

The brand also updated the headlights and added operator assistance features, including systems to support safe stops, maintain a safe distance and warn about vulnerable road users.

In addition, it includes features such as cruise control linked to speed signs and a system for managing speed on curves.

“Speed ​​Signal Cruise Control and Curve Speed ​​Cruise Control contribute to a smoother driving experience. These systems support the operator rather than replace their responsibility, making demanding operations more controlled,” the automaker emphasized.

The digital rearview mirrors are perhaps one of the most noticeable changes. The system uses two full HD screens and allows you to select different views, as well as incorporating reference lines to facilitate maneuvering. The cameras are heated to help maintain visibility in cold, icy, or snowy conditions.

The launch of Scania Dynamic comes as the company remains focused on improving its commercial and operational performance. During the second quarter of 2026, Scania increased its vehicle orders by 41% to 28,743 units, while deliveries grew by 7% to 26,274 vehicles.

Although the R and S models are already part of the manufacturer’s offering in Mexico , Scania has not announced a date for the arrival of this update to the national market.

The event brought together more than 86 volunteers who planted 600 native Hartwegii and Montezuma trees in an area considered strategic for groundwater recharge, carbon capture, and biodiversity conservation.

“By planting each tree, we are sowing the future. We are strengthening our forests’ capacity to absorb carbon, maintain the rainfall cycle, conserve the soil, and become a refuge for local species. Reforestation is also a reminder of the role we must play as a society and as an industry to preserve natural resources and leave a positive legacy for future generations,” said Rogelio Arzate, Executive President of ANPACT.

In addition to reforestation, participants participated in the Clean Forest Walk , collecting waste on trails and in public areas to improve park conditions . A talk was also given to raise awareness about the main threats facing forests, such as fires, illegal logging, and unplanned urban growth.

This event builds on projects carried out in previous years: in 2019 in Puebla with the planting of 300 trees; in 2023 in Ocoyoacac with 500 trees; and in 2024 in La Marquesa with 600 trees, achieving a 90 percent survival rate. These actions carried out by the association not only contribute to the regeneration of the ecosystem but also generate benefits for local communities .

The ANPACT 2025 Reforestation Day becomes concrete actions by the heavy vehicle automotive industry associated with ANPACT to contribute to sustainability, decarbonization and the protection of natural resources, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN) , especially goal 15, focused on the conservation of ecosystems.

This initiative is also aligned with the association’s vision for the ANPACT 2025 Transport Expo , which will be held from November 12 to 14 at Expo Guadalajara , where sustainability and decarbonization will also be central to the agenda.

For the third time, members of the 15 member companies of the National Association of Bus, Truck and Tractor Producers (ANPACT) as well as the staff of said organization carried out their reforestation day, this as part of their commitments to the environment and society .

The more than 80 participants planted 600 fir trees in the area known as the “Valley of the Nuns,” located in the forests of the Municipality of Ocoyoacac, State of Mexico, one of the main green lungs of the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM).

“ANPACT Reforestation 2024 will have a positive environmental impact in the area by increasing tree density, improving soil conservation; having better forests that help capture carbon; improving the habitat for local wildlife and contributing to the recharge of aquifers, which are so necessary especially during times of drought. Furthermore, reforestation not only contributes to the restoration of the ecosystem and environmental balance, but also has a positive impact on the community of Ocoyoacac and helps in the fight against climate change,” said Rogelio Arzate, executive president of ANPACT.

The reforestation work was carried out with the technical support of Naturalia, AC , a civil association specialized in the conservation and reforestation of forests and wildlife in Mexico.

Arzate also highlighted that reforestation is an activity in line with the ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria of the companies that make up the Association. “These indicators seek to analyse and promote the contribution and performance of companies with respect to environmental challenges, such as greenhouse gas emissions, the protection of biodiversity, water resources or deforestation. In other words, the ESG criteria consider metrics to evaluate the environmental impacts of companies and their efforts to reduce them. They also evaluate the positive effect of the values ​​and actions of companies in favour of local communities,” said Rogelio Arzate.

The event was attended by volunteers from ANPACT and its associated companies: Mercedes-Benz Autobuses, Dina, Foton, Freightliner, Isuzu, Hino, Kenworth, Mack, MAN, Scania, International, Mercedes-Benz Vanes, Volkswagen Truck and Bus, Volvo and Cummins.

The ANPACT Reforestation initiative is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda , where Goal 15 stands out, which seeks to protect forests, combat soil degradation and desertification. In addition, this reforestation is in line with the efforts developed by the Confederation of Industrial Chambers of the United Mexican States (Concamin), chaired by Alejandro Malagón and of which ANPACT is a member.
