Engines and Vehicles for Mining

In the mining industry, the importance of vehicle reliability, durability, and adaptability cannot be overstated, particularly when it comes to vehicles engineered for off-road use and customized to meet specific demands and environments.

Scania: Leader in Mining and Oil & Gas
Scania has solidified its presence in off-road applications, both in mining and the Oil & Gas sector. Juan Pablo Cagnola, Mining Manager at Scania Argentina, highlights the growing importance the company has been gaining in the Patagonia region, where the company has played a fundamental role in the Oil & Gas production chain.
Personalized Services for Customers
Juan Pablo ensures that Scania takes pride in its ability to adapt its vehicles to the specific needs of customers through the «modular system,» which allows customers to choose different components, such as the cabin, engine, axle configuration, and truck length. In this way, Scania has the necessary flexibility to assemble specific equipment for each customer and their needs, which is especially relevant in the mining industry and other specific applications or uses.

The Future of Scania:
Mining, Oil, Gas, and Agriculture
Mining, along with the oil and gas industry, is set to be the growth engines for Scania in the coming years in Argentina. «Our country offers, in different regions, enormous potential in the lithium sector and gold, silver, and copper mining. We are committed to being present in these sectors, providing tailor-made solutions that contribute to the productive development of Argentina,» said Cagnola.

The Swedish company is showcasing a generator set with a Scania DC 13 72 A 500 kVa engine and the Heavy Tipper 10×4 truck, in its R620 model, at this year’s San Juan Minera exhibition, which is the most robust on the market and the largest in the Off Road range, specially developed to ensure adaptation and durability in demanding conditions and terrains.
