DC9 E02 Ethanol bus engine
Why? Insecure long-term oil supply Global warming – cut CO 2 emissions Legal requirements Environmental ambitions Transport system improvements Efficient energy converters Alternative fuels Transport system improvements Efficient energy converters Alternative fuels
Scania Ethanol Technology Since 1989: 600 buses supplied mainly to Sweden 1916First ethanol engine 1979First vehicle tests 1985First buses tested in Sweden
Scania Ethanol Engine Passenger car Otto engine E10, E20, E85 Scania Bus Diesel engine ED95
Ethanol engine efficiency Compression ignition means high efficiency! Engine loadEfficiency 25% 32-36% 50% 37-38% 75%37-40% 100%37-41%
Biggest Renewable Fuel Globally 90 % of all renewable fuel is Ethanol 50 % of research money in renewable fuels related to ethanol Cars, buses, trucks E5, E22, E85, ED95, E100 Many possible sources Sugarcane, beets, wheat, corn, grapes… Good and bad ethanol (compare with electricity…) Sugar Cane, Cellulose, Energy Factories 3rd generation High Environmental Efficiency % CO 2 -reduction from Sugarcane Liquid Fuel Traditional infrastructure/distribution Long Experience Brazil Buses in regular service in Sweden since 1989 Local energy security & Oil dependency Ethanol fuel
Sekab Etamax-D fuel ED95 denomination; not to be confused with E85 (for gasoline engines) It is an alcohol – no lubrication properties Effects –Corrosion of plastics on high temperatures –Same tanks but with different ventilation –It’s a fuel – No drinking or washing

Engine DC9 E02 Higher compression ratio 28:1 vs. 17:1 –Pistons, cylinder head valves and valve seats –New turbocharger with a waste-gate –Monorail PDE injectors with different injection volume –EMS calibration is for Ethanol fuel characteristics –Stronger starter due to higher compression
Different pistons to raise compression ratio Larger fuel injection system Ethanol resistant gaskets and sealings Different engine management programming Modifications on Scania Ethanol Engine
