Introducing the new Scania V8 range

• Four new V8 engines and powertrains offer fuel savings of up to 6%
• 530, 590, 660 and 770 hp – a line-up of unsurpassed V8 power
• Low internal friction, updated turbocharger and smart auxiliaries
• Updated aftertreatment system and performance
• Longer and heavier trucks offer increased transport efficiency and
lower CO2 emissions, both with or without biodiesel fuels

Scania’s new V8 engines not only offer record level power but vastly improved
fuel efficiency as well. The total savings can reach up to six percent – or even
more – under the right conditions, when the new G33 gearbox is included in
the powertrain. Fuel savings of that magnitude make a huge difference of
course, both long term for the climate and here and now for the haulier.
“While shifting to fossil-free transports, we all must do everything to improve
our current solutions,” says Alexander Vlaskamp, Executive Vice President,
Head of Sales and Marketing. “You cannot let your house burn down simply be-
cause a new one is under construction. The transition must be seamless”.

The fuel savings are the result of extensive fine-tuning and development by Scania’s
engineers, involving technologies in the fore-front of internal combustion engine
development. Among them, and provided by more than 70 new parts, are reduced
internal friction, higher compression ratios, improved aftertreatment-systems and a
new powerful engine management system (EMS).

While future, electrified transports are on top of the agenda, the world still depend on
transports carried out with trucks powered by internal combustion engines – and that
is why Scania’s new powerful V8 engines play such an important role.

“A typical long-distance truck in Europe covers around 150,000 kilometres per year,”
says Vlaskamp. “A reasonable saving on markets where longer and heavier combi-
nations are permitted can be up to 3,000–4,000 litres annually for a truck with our
new V8 – a tremendous achievement in every respect”.

Scania’s new generation of V8 engines offer fuel savings of up to six percent when combined with the
new Scania Opticruise gearboxes. That constitutes a substantial reduction of the CO2 footprint and
fuel cost reduction.

Peak power – ever

Most spectacular and of certain interest in the new V8 generation is the 770 hp, 3700
Nm top-of-the line version – probably the most powerful, factory-built truck engine in
production today. Where and when is all this power asked for?

“This is, of course, not for everyone, but we see a growing demand for trucks capable
of handling GTWs of 60 tonnes and above, especially for road-going combinations,”
says Vlaskamp. “The fastest way to increase transport efficiency is with longer and
heavier truck combinations. The added fuel for a heavier vehicle is compensated by
the greater payload capacity. The CO2-per-tonne calculation is favourable, and in
addition there is the opportunity to run your Scania V8 truck on renewable biofuels”.

It is natural that trucks with Scania’s V8 engines are highly in demand in countries
where greater GTWs are permitted – particularly in the Nordic countries. But also
countries such as Italy and Spain (and certain markets outside Europe) are fond of
V8s, due to hilly terrain with many steep and challenging roads.

“We have a clear picture of where the first 770 hp trucks will start making a differ-
ence,” says Vlaskamp. “There is a strong rationale for ordering such a truck. These
customers are looking for the best total operating economy, well aware of the fact
that more payload means better efficiency, increased revenue and higher residual
value. But I know that some of our customers also will become extra heartened by
the sheer joy and emotion of operating such a magnificent working tool.”

Scania’s V8 engine range

All Scania’s Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines can run on a mixture of up to 100 percent hydrotreated
vegetable oil (HVO) and any proportion of diesel and HVO, regardless of the engine family.

** Also available in a version that can use up to 100 percent biodiesel such as FAME
