Scania’s Legend Engine V8 Celebrates Its Golden Jubilee
Jonas Hofstedt, Vice President of Scania R & D, said that: “We are very proud of the result. Since its introduction, it has a well-earned reputation in its segment and forms the basis of today’s advanced and high-performance engines.”
In order to meet Euro emission norms, the V8 legend continued with the 16-liter V8 with 1,900 rpm and 48000 Nm of torque, 480 and 580 hp. After the introduction of the 16-liter V8 in 2000, the works for Scania’s engine development has continued without slowing down.
In 2005, it launched the widest range of engines to date, including the 500, 560 and 620 hp V8 for 3, Euro 4 and Euro 5 engines with torque up to 3,000 Nm.
In 2010, Scania’s 16-liter engine experienced a major development. It has secured its throne as the world’s most powerful engine that produces 730 hp with a maximum torque of 3,500 Nm with a lighter but more powerful cylinder block and that increases its volume from 15.6 to 16.4 liters.
When the new Streamline launched its trucks in 2013, the second generation Euro 6 series, including the 520, 580 and 730 hp V8 engines, were also introduced.
“In Turkey, It Shall Be Offered For Sales Upon Order”
Introduced in the 3rd generation in 2016, the new V8 engine has many successful features of previous generations, and the focus is on reducing fuel consumption by five to eight percent to increase customers’ profitability, increasing vehicle uptime and service efficiency. V8 series specially produced for V8 Engine celebrating its 50th anniversary shall be offered for sales upon order in Turkey.
