Scania L94
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scania L94 is a longitudinal inclined-engined bus, built by Scania AB, which was a direct replacement of Scania L113. It is used widely in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Australia. In Ireland and Northern Ireland it is also very popular with companies such as Bus Éireann, Ulsterbus and Citybus (now named Metro). These companies have been buying these buses since 2000/2001.
It can be built as an intercity bus (L94IB) or a low-floor city bus (rigid version L94UB or articulated version L94UA) and features a 9-litre, inline 6-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled, Euro III compliant engine available in 230 hp/1050 Nm, 260 hp/1250 Nm, or 300 hp/1400 Nm ratings (model DSC9). Optionally, a 9-litre, inline 6-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled CNG engine was available, initially with only a 260 hp/990 Nm rating (model OSC9 G01) but with the introduction of a higher torque Euro V complant engine (model OC9) two ratings were available - 260 hp/1100 Nm and 300 hp/1250 Nm.
In 2006 it was superseded by the new K-series bus chassis range (K230UB, K270UB, K310UB, K270UA, K310UA) with 5-cylinder engines just before Euro IV emissions regulations take effect, and will lose its tilted engine.
