Scania announces new range of V8s
Scania claims engines reach new standards in fuel efficiency with latest generation of Euro 6 V8sScania is introducing a new generation of Euro 6 V8 engines that the Swedish company says represent a new standard in fuel consumption.
The engines, which are available with 520, 580 and 650 horsepower, are claimed to reduce fuel consumption by 7 to 10 per cent for owners with vehicles that have higher combined truck and trailer weights, higher average speeds, or both.
“Vehicle combinations with higher combined truck and trailer weights are a key factor in the shift to smarter transport,” says Alexander Vlaskamp, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Scania Trucks. “They are also the reason behind the trend towards an increased demand for more powerful truck engines.
“The new 520, 580 and 650 engines join the 730 horsepower engine in providing customers with the best possible strength, robustness and productivity for maximum performance on the road. Each of the new V8s are characterised by advanced technical solutions that contribute to reduced weight, increased availability, and the eye-opening 7 to 10 percent reduction in fuel consumption,” he added.
Vlaskamp said that Scania’s commitment to sustainable transport is at the heart of the new offering, but its V8 engines have always contributed to highly efficient transport solutions. The company’s focus has been on the lowest possible CO2-per-tonne ratios because fewer trucks are needed to perform the same amount of transport work.
Ever since Scania introduced its first V8 close to 50 years ago, the engine family has been a favourite among the company’s demanding premium-level customers. The company says it is continuing to develop its solutions all the time to stay at the forefront in productivity, driving pleasure, and attractiveness.
