The vehicle integrates a 338 kW Scania Super 13-litre engine with dual 145 kW electric motors and an 89 kWh battery pack. This configuration grants the coach up to 80 km of pure electric range, allowing operators to navigate city centers and terminals silently before switching to the combustion engine for highway legs. The system features four distinct drive modes—Electric, Hybrid, Charge Sustain, and Forced Charging—enabling drivers to optimize energy use based on real-time route conditions.
Scania Irizar i6S Efficient PHEV Named Sustainable Coach of 2027
A 47 percent reduction in fuel consumption and a 94 percent drop in CO2 emissions have secured the Scania Irizar i6S Efficient PHEV the Sustainable Bus Award 2027. The jury praised the coach for bridging the gap between urban zero-emission mandates and the demands of long-distance travel through plug-in hybrid technology.
Beyond powertrain innovation, Scania focused on physical efficiency, utilizing lightweight materials and improved aerodynamics to lower energy demand. When the plug-in system runs on HVO renewable fuel, the environmental gains are maximized. Supported by a digital ecosystem that monitors charging cycles and predictive maintenance, the coach offers a pragmatic alternative for fleet operators currently constrained by limited charging infrastructure for fully electric long-haul transport.
