Scania iReGear remanufactured gearbox project
SHARE

Scania and partners have evaluated the use of remanufactured parts in new-build vehicles via the iReGear research programme. It saw a gearbox built using remanufactured parts on Scania’s main assembly line in Sweden via work with KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Scandinavian Transmission Service.

The manufacturer says that reusing parts can cut carbon emissions by up to 45% and reduce the number of new parts required by 50%.

Scania adds that the remanufactured gearbox was subject to the same testing regime as a new unit to ensure that it meets the quality and performance standards, an evaluation that was passed.

Reuse of components by Scania on its main assembly line via the iReGear project is a world-first for heavy vehicle OEMs. Head of Sustainability Fredrik Nilzen says that the work is “a compelling example of how the manufacturing of heavy vehicles can be more sustainable, circular and efficient, while retaining the highest quality standards.”

Scania adds that wider adoption of remanufactured components into new vehicles will requires builders to integrate those items directly into their production lines, rather than selling them separately as a spare part.

It notes that despite the potential of remanufacturing, in the European automotive sector it is mainly confined to the aftermarket, which accounts for only 1.1% of new manufacturing. Use of older parts to create new products “is considered a promising strategy for OEMs to achieve their climate goals and transition towards a circular economy,” the business adds.

It is now hoped that iReGear will lead the way for the heavy vehicle sector to make what Scania says is “this necessary shift in the efforts to create a more sustainable and cleaner transport industry.” Addressing resource scarcity issues is a further important element of the work.

Scandinavian Transmission Service CEO Ola Stålebo has welcomed the opportunity to challenge the perception that remanufactured parts only suit aftermarket use.

“Today, we can proudly reflect on a period of successful collaboration, where we have achieved breakthroughs in sustainable technology. This project truly shows that it might not need to stop at just one idea but could become a reality in the near future,” says Mr Stålebo.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
