Scania and Doosan Infracore extend their cooperation


Scania and the South Korean equipment manufacturer, Doosan Infracore, have
agreed to further increase their current cooperation. According to a Letter of
Intent, Scania, from 2014, will not only supply engines for Doosan’s articulated
dump trucks and large wheel loaders but also other products within the Doosan
range.
“In the long term, we are estimating delivery of well over 3,000 engines
annually to Doosan Infracore. This cooperation has strengthened our position in
the growing Asian market,” says Robert Sobocki, Senior Vice President and Head
of Scania Engines.

Doosan Infracore is well positioned within the Chinese
market. Several models from a total of over 20,000 machines sold annually in
China will be powered by Scania engines.

 “We have tested Scania’s engines in
our products and they meet our expectations for reliability, outstanding
performance and high fuel efficiency. We also appreciate Scania’s modular
concept. One engine platform for all emission levels is of great benefit. For
instance, it helps in our design installation work and thanks to Scania’s global
service network, our customers also get access to excellent support.” says
Andrew H. Choi, Sourcing Director at Doosan Infracore.

Robert Sobocki adds
“Our engines fulfill our OEMs’ expectations and their experience tells us that
not only do we have powerful systems to offer, the fuel efficiency has also
improved.”

Scania industrial engines will manage Stage IV and Tier 4 final
with EGR and SCR technology but without a particulate filter. The newly
developed engine platform is the same for all emission levels ranging from Stage
II to Stage IV and is extremely reliable.

Doosan Infracore is the leading
machine manufacturing company in Korea, producing a wide portfolio including
construction equipment and machine tools. Doosan Infracore is a part of the
global Doosan Corporation.

Scania will showcase the Scania Stage 4/Tier 4
final engine at Intermat, stand G 151, Hall 5A.

Doosan Infracore will be
showing the company’s construction equipment products at Intermat on stand 6
-G079 in Hall 6.
