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. b

"Scania’s 9-, 13- and 16-litre engines are all based on this modular concept – for example, one cylinder head can be fitted to all engines, which offers a number of advantages. Maintenance and repairs are more straightforward and fewer spare parts need be kept in stock."
