Based on a modular electronics architecture and accompanied by a range of new safety features, the new Scania digital dashboard, namely Smart Dash, provides “daily digital support for drivers and operators”. Furthermore, the new electrical system architecture is compliant with the EU’s new General Safety Regulation and the UN’s new cyber-security regulations.
In fact, the new EU General Safety Regulations will make various safety-oriented features mandatory for heavy commercial vehicles from July 2024. In addition, the new regulations, UNECE R155 and R156, will also apply to cyber-security technologies, aiming at pre-venting and mitigating tampering with vehicles. Scania has developed a new electrical system architecture, common for both trucks and buses. This new architecture enables smarter and quicker communication, cyber security at an even higher level and complies with the new demands.
