Environmental liability
Scania develops and produces engines that are as
environmentally-friendly as possible. Scania has
made major investments in the reduction of
harmful exhaust emissions in order to fulfil the
environmental requirements in force in almost
every market.
At the same time, we have been able to maintain
a high level of performance quality and operat-
ing economy for Scania engines. To maintain
these throughout the entire service life of the en-
gine, it is important for the user to follow the in-
structions on running, maintenance and fuel,
lubricating oil and coolant as outlined in the Op-
erator's manual.
Other green initiatives taken include ensuring
that, following maintenance and repair, waste
that is harmful to the environment (for example
oil, fuel, coolant, filters and batteries) is disposed
of accordance with the applicable environmental
requirements.
Information on parts with par-
ticularly hazardous substanc-
es
A number of component parts on the engine con-
tain materials with particularly hazardous sub-
stances.
The substances have properties that can have a
serious and lasting effect on human health and
the environment.
If a part or component parts contain more than
0.1% by weight of a substance listed on the
REACH candidate list, the supplier must provide
information about the substance.
The requirement is defined in Article 33 of the
REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) and applies
within the EU, Liechtenstein, Norway and Ice-
land.

the candidate list is provided by Scania.

According to Article 9 of the EU Waste Frame-
work Directive ((EU) 2018/851), manufacturers
of parts containing more than 0.1% by weight of
a particular hazardous substance must communi-
cate this to the EU Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Scania supplies individual notification numbers
in SCIP for affected vehicles.
