New 11-litre truck engine to be launched

Scania is set to launch a new lightweight 11-litre engine which promises improved performance, efficiency and greater operational flexibility.

Positioned between the 9-litre and 13-litre engine platforms, the Super 11 claims to offers up to seven per cent improved fuel efficiency compared with Scania’s current 9-litre engine and is 85kg lighter than the Super 13 engine.

According to the Swedish truck maker, its new engine will allow transport operators to increase their payloads in weight-critical operations without compromising on power, fuel efficiency or reliability.

Available in three power outputs – 350hp (1,800Nm), 390hp (2,000Nm) and 430hp (2,200Nm) – the Super 11 complies with Euro VI emission standards.

Scania says the Super 11 also shares most of its components with the Super 13 engine.
