Scania has launched its Buffalo range of trucks for mining operations, with an emphasis on efficiency and cutting down emissions.<\/p>\n
The Buffalo was developed according to Scania\u2019s hallmark low-rev philosophy, and its 13-litre engine provides improved fuel efficiency and better engine performance.<\/p>\n
The truck also has bucket sizes ranging from medium (49T\/16m\u00b3) to large (60T\/22m\u00b3) and extra large (60T\/25m\u00b3).<\/p>\n

The launch at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra saw patrons given a first view of the truck and a first-hand feel.<\/p>\n
Johan Kohler, the company\u2019s MD for West Africa, noted that the simple equation for the company was a drive to reduce cost per tonne for companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can do that at the lowest cost possible then, of course, the economy of the customer will be very good. He will make more money.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Buffalo also has a lesser toll on the environment in the meantime as the company works towards natural gas-powered trucks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith these modern and well-engineered engines, you will have a much less impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking at the launch, Joseph Titus Glover of Quantum LC expressed his willingness to adopt the truck for his company because of the costs and benefits to the environment.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the consumption of the Buffalo truck\u2026 we will be saving more money in this tight economic situation in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf the truck is consuming less diesel, that means it is saving the environment because the less diesel it consumes, the less emissions on the environment,\u201d Glover said.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scania has launched its Buffalo range of trucks for mining operations, with an emphasis on efficiency and cutting down emissions.
