In addition to the new model, developments to the unique Scania V8 platform have resulted in a number of engineering changes to existing models.
The new 641bhp variant offers a torque rating of 3,300Nm and, in common with the revised 520 and 580 models, benefits from the same SCR-only technology utilised in Scania's 13-litre engine range. Complimented by improved thermal management, combustion and injection systems, the updated V8 engines offer improvements in fuel economy. Combined with the class leading aerodynamics of Scania’s new R- and S-cabs, the benefits are further enhanced, potentially up to 10% for customers with vehicles that have higher combined truck and trailer weights, higher average speeds, or both.
The 720bhp engine remains the top power option and continues to use both EGR and SCR technology to meet the Euro 6 emission standard.
