Stand-by power
Ideally, engines for stand-by power never kick into action. Or very seldom and for a limited amount of time. But when they are supposed to fire up, they must do so immediately as lives may depend on their delivering power.

House of Parliament powered by Scania 16-litre V8 power generation engine
This is why Scania’s engines are based on robust technology without complicated solutions, and designed to function whenever needed.
Operational reliability and dependable power when you need it are hallmarks of the Scania engine. Thanks to the unique modular system, which means that all engines are largely constructed of identical components, the availability of spare parts is excellent. The modular system also makes it dramatically easier for the mechanic – once you know one Scania engine, you know them all! And many repairs can be carried out by a single mechanic.
