The Benefits of Irisbus Technology
The heart of the "Scolabus 24" is its engine and there is
no bigger heart than the Iveco tector engine.
Designed to meet all the latest noise and emission
legislation, the fundamentals of the power unit will
ensure that it remains in profitable operation for years to
come.
The "Scolabus 24" shares the engine with the Iveco
Cargo, UK's biggest selling medium weight truck.
Consequently, the engine is well known to service
technicians up and down the country and support is
never more than a phone call away.
The deep, one piece block with its parent bore construction, turbocharged and intercooled layout,
makes the tector an impressively quiet unit - an ideal characteristic for a schoolbus engine.
The management of the many engine functions is in the
hands of the latest electronic control unit. This talks to
the other control units on the vehicle via a CAN bus
network thereby ensuring that maximum operating
efficiency is achieved at all times. This is true, not only
when the vehicle is on the road but also when
advantage is being taken of the latest Iveco diagnostic
programme - MODUS.
The lowest possible fuel consumption is assured
through the use of a high pressure, common rail, direct
injection system. This allows the 240 horse power to be
allied to a wide, usable torque curve making the
"Scolabus 24" a very manageable vehicle - ideal for its
primary role in urban environments
