The manufacturer said designed to be powerful, light and durable, the engine will offer greater flexibility to those running weight-critical operations as the new lighter, more efficient diesel engine will allow operators to increase their payloads "without compromise".
The new 11-litre Super powertrain is available to order from June, and it will make its global debut at Road Transport Expo from 24-26 June at NAEC, Stoneleigh.
In the UK, the new Super 11-litre engine is expected to power a range of different vehicles, from tippers, bulk transport and refuse collection trucks, to hook lifts, recovery trucks and fire engines, and general volume goods transport.
Positioned to fit between the established 9- and 13-litre diesel units, the new Super 11-litre engine is up to 85kg lighter than the Super 13-litre and up to 7% more fuel efficient than the 9-litre equivalent.
Available in three power options – 350hp (1800Nm), 390hp (2,000Nm) and 430hp (2,200Nm) – the new Super engine has been designed to perform across a wide range of applications, from urban logistics to regional haulage.
Ayyoob Zarmehri, product manager, of truck sales and marketing at Scania, said: “This engine opens new possibilities for energy efficient and cost-effective transport. It’s lighter, leaner and more flexible, yet it still carries the strength and reliability for which Scania is known.
“It’s a smart choice for operators who need to balance performance, payload and sustainability in their daily work.”
The Super 11-litre features some key improvements, with up to 85% of its components shared with the Super 13-litre engine. While maintenance intervals are up to 30% longer than its 9-litre counterpart, which will appeal to operators, as it increases uptime and reduces overall service costs.
The new engine is equipped with Scania’s proprietary cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, which allows for real-time engine thermal management and improved combustion performance.
Combined with new engine software, balance shafts for reduced vibration, and a robust engine braking system. It all adds up to delivering a smoother, more comfortable driving experience. Scania’s patented turbo dosing system also improves AdBlue usage and further enhances engine efficiency.
The new 11-litre engine is compatible with HVO, while the 390hp and 430hp can be prepared for use with FAME, giving operators the opportunity to lower their emissions footprint to support both operational and sustainability goals.
Ayyoob added: “The Super 11-litre engine represents the next generation of intelligent transport. It combines the best of Scania’s engineering with the efficiency and adaptability that today’s operators demand.
“Whether in the city or out on longer routes, this engine is built to perform – mile-after-mile."
