Scania reduces climate impact using GPS technology

Scania has developed a cruise control system that uses GPS to determine a vehicle’s position and to predict the topography of the road ahead. The cruising speed is adjusted before entering an ascent or descent, helping the driver make the most of every drop of fuel. The system can deliver a fuel saving of up to 3 percent when driving on undulating stretches of road.The new system – Scania Active Prediction – is a milestone in Scania’s systematic focus on drivers and helps them to save fuel and reduce their environmental impact. It is intuitive and adapts driving style to the topography in
