Leading commercial vehicle and engine manufacturing company, Scania CV India Pvt. Ltd has launched the new P 440 8X4 20.2 Cu.m U-Body tipper. The P 440 U-Body tipper has been designed to increase the productivity of mining tippers and improve the Total Operating Economy.
The P440 tipper was designed to meet demanding conditions in the Indian subcontinent and offer maximum operational capacity and fuel efficiency. The “U” design for the tipper body is the first in its class for overburden removal application. The body’s combination of “U” design and wear resistant steel increases the payload carrying capacity by up to 5 percent while reducing the fuel consumption by almost 5 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.
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 and directly benefits the customer by improving fuel efficiency.
The Indian mining sector needs tough vehicles that can ply under the most demanding of situations. With this in mind, 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.
