The new P440 8X4 20.2 cu, U-body tipper has been designed to increase the productivity of mining tippers and improve the total operating economy.
The P 440 U-Body tipper comes with a mixture of time tested driveline and a new engine. It has a 13 litre, 440 HP engine and is capable of reaching peak torque at lower engine speed. It is BSIV compliant through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. This when coupled with Scania patented Opticruise® gear shift technology keeps the gear shifts to an optimal number improving fuel efficiency.
“We at Scania work to integrate sustainability into the core of the business. Scania leverages innovative thinking, develops partnerships and works extensively within the logistics flow to capture efficiencies and secure customer profitability. We are very confident that P 440 U-BODY tipper will deliver on our promise of driving even more value and profitability for our customers,” stated Raghavan Srinivasa, Director, Sales (Trucks) at Scania Commercial Vehicles India.
Hanna Johansson, Director, Business Support, Scania Commercial Vehicles India stated, “Scania India firmly believes in having a true partnership with our customers. Besides being a manufacturer of heavy trucks and buses, Scania is increasingly developing new ways of delivering customer value based on a full service offering that delivers lifecycle profitability.”
Scania put the P 440 U-Body tipper through intense testing for over 12000 hours of operations in some of the most demanding mines in India, before launching it in the market. The ‘U’ design for the tipper body is the first in its class for overburden removal application. The body’s unparalleled combination of ‘U’ design and superior wear resistant steel increases the payload carrying capacity by upto five percent while reducing the fuel consumption by almost five percent due to low self-weight of the tipper body. It also improves the stability of the vehicle by lowering the overall centre of gravity.
