[@jaakkoiswatching6437]

The Scania v8 is famous and liked, but is it really a money maker for Scania? Lots of development costs just for the V8 even in the euro6 era, but most fleet customers buy 6-cylinder engines because they save money and are powerful enough. Even many Finnish haulers pull 76 ton weights with 6-cylinder Scanias.

[@madanto2394]

V8 is just a trademark now anything is powerful than the 1st gen.(1969).

[@hnorrstrom]

I was working as handy man at a horse breeding stable in Sweden a few years ago. And everyone that took care of the horses had Blundstones. I thought they was pretty crazy for not using steel toes because it was wild race horses that could stomp you in a second, but they didn't care.

[@joakimjonsson1640]

We a running 3 next gen Scania. One 6 cyl 540 hp, one V8 580 and one 650. The V8's have tandem drive. The 540 and 580 gets identical fuel mileage. The 650 consumes about 5% more fuel. We typically pull between 64 and 73 tons. I don't think the V8 is dead any time soon, at least here in Sweden. Even Scania have said that the V8's is going to be around for long time to come. They even came out with a completely new V8 lineup last year combined with new transmission. They supposed to be even more fuel efficient. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

[@truckingwithwim8039]

Well it's a interesting thought but I think they will continue to make them even on euro 7 , the V8 engine is basically the brand of Scania, All the other brands have dropped them with euro 6 because too less people bought them, if you look at how much V8 scanias you see on the road from the next gen model it's quite a lot, I think they'll invest in euro 7 until 2035 when the EU will have those new rules against the diesel engine, but I think they'll drop the 530 although i think they will keep it until at least 2025- 27 because it's part of the new V8 engines Scania produced previous year they still invest in new technology for the V8 I think it's not really likely that Scania drops the V8 after 2027

[@honda900000]

V8 are just waste of money. The R6 are better in every way. V8 are just outdated if youre not doing special transports. An R460 is enough for almost everything in Europe. It pulls 40 tons easily. In Germany you dont see any NG V8s. Traton (Scania, MAN and Navistar) are looking for an standard R6 Euro 7 engine for all of their brands. I wouldnt be surprised if Scania and MAN will have a 16 litre R6 Euro7 engine in 2026/2027.

Another great video as usual Stavros! Also how's the fuel consumption of the S 580 now? The last time you said in a video 5 months ago that it was consuming around '19.5 MPG', was it really an error with the trip computer itself that's why it became the 'most economical Scania V8 in Ireland' and did Nolans check it?

[@maximwannabepro3021]

Having the V8s is already sort of a lost course if you talk efficiency compared to the 13L. But the V8 is part of Scania's "fan service" at this point. Drivers and company's like to have them because they are something to be proud of, usually resulting in loyal and paying customers, for that reason alone the V8 will most likely not go away. Scania knows of its marketing value. Im a mechanic for Scania based in Germany and one thing i have noticed about the customer base, compared to other manufacturers, is that the Trucks are loved and often tuned by there owners, backing up my argument about loyalty.

[@roger.g.walters_6398]

Very lovely... I like the Christmas truck it's amazing. It's also pretty impressive the way they lit up that tractor too but how they get the lights to work while the wheels would be rolling beats me. They probably passed the wires through the wheel hub or something but that is really amazing as well.

[@f.j.kuiper1467]

May be the lights at the wheel have a battery which is also attached at the wheel.?

@@f.j.kuiper1467 Well who knows, but those lights may use 110v or 220v electricity as it's the UK. However, it looks amazing and very creative for sure. I've never seen anybody do anything like that before so it's marvelous.

It’s inevitable, especially with Traton’s Common Base Engine program the V8 obviously has no common use among the group anymore, they could simply replace it with a tweaked version of MAN D38 engine instead as the high power engine option.

Scania is known for making v8s so I don't think its going away anytime soon. However, I absolutely hate that all engines have become so complicated because of all the emissions equipment mandated by the govts. The last great engine from scania that isn't loaded with electronic crap was the ds14 v8😥 Almost every truck before early 2000s all had different engine configs. as well. MAN had v10s, Merc had v6s and v8 trucks, Renault was using the e9 v8 from Mack, Magirus-Deutz used to make trucks with v12, v10 and v8s, Iveco had the Turbo-Star 17L v8, while Volvo was the only one using an I6 on their top-line trucks. Now, only Tatra makes their air-cooled v8 twin turbo in the 815 for the military. Same thing here in asia, up until late 2014 we still used to get the Scania R500 in euro 3 v8 specs. Now its all straight 6.

My R650 couldn't go between services between needing an oil top up. Once i got around the 100k mark it's settled down thank god. haha I dont know why anyone would want the 530. The v8 engine alone adds so much on the tare weight ( i think 1 tonne?) just for 30 hp over a 500? whats the point.500/ 540/560 any day.. But i love the 650. Its gutless if running light but get over 44 tonne onto 50tonne its one hell of a machine. The v8 still feels like its got so much character. I think theyll struggle to get to euro 7 but it's hard. The v8 branding is so strong. out of 13 litres i think it's hard to pick a scania over a volvo in my opinion.

[@thomasandersson3004]

Scania has the same pistons/cylinders in all its engines (the same form and dimensions). Scania changes the number of pistons/cylinders (5, 6 and 8 pistons/cylinders). This means that there is not as much extra testing/cost involved in getting the V8 approved for Euro 7.

[@shaggings]

I have a strong suspicion that the V8 will unfortunately die off, and be replaced with either electric powertrain, or hybrid with the 13 liter or maybe a even more downsized engine. We will have to see, the truck manufacturers are already starting to show off some pretty interesting concepts and prototypes for electric truck powertrains.

[@erkinalp]

I think V8 will still live after 2035, but in the off-highway and marine segments instead.

[@nothingman5150]

Damn! That’s a lot of oil to burn. I have 2021 freight liner just crossed 226000 miles never had to put any oil in between oil changes (every 50000 miles)

PS : I have no lessons to give to anyone but I never refill oil till the level is at it minimum ! I always heard that if you give the habbit to refill as soon as it's missing à little bi t of oil, the engine will always ask for refilling ... P.S 2 : When you think about the price of à v8 ( what ? when you love you don't count ?) , we also wonder who will be able to afford one....even for an owner-driver it will become harder...

[@ajidamarjati]

Scania might do a new V8 with DOHC valvetrain & single cyl head, just like the new DC13 Super lineup. They won't give up that easy on their V8.

[@stuntvist]

Probably. The difference engineering wise is minimal and the only added cost and complexity over the straight 6 would be the 2nd head. But they would be able to use all of the same tech, variable valve timing and whatnot on that to widen the powerband. The only real issue is that straight 6's are naturally almost perfectly balanced and you can run a longer stroke easier (better for low RPM power aka torque and efficiency because less cylinder surface area for same displacement so less heat losses). Given Scania is probably running a "modular" platform like most car/vehicle/engine manufacturers now they'll likely use the same basic layout and internal components on both so most of the engineering challenge, apart from the obvious layout difference, would be making the frame and cab fit both engines and a new intake + downpipe situation. Emissions are mostly just how much fuel you use (since the exhaust treatment stuff is all the same anyway) and as long as for cruising at low RPM that isn't much higher than the L6 it wouldn't be hard to meet the regulations. Really the only reason other manufacturers don't run non L6 layouts anymore is just because they're too lazy/cheap to bother. L6's are cheap and easy to scale and pretty hard to get wrong. It sort of feels like we're headed towards a similar situation as to that of the US, where most truck brands don't bother to do more than the bare minimum. Buy an engine from Paccar/Detroit, use the same unsynchronized fuller box or an ungodly torque converter automatic, and mount all of that on a ladder frame with axles from one of 3 different companies. You can buy new Freightliner's that have the same steering wheel you would've got on an Actros MP2, back when Mercedes were still pushing the pre-selector nonsense. I just hope we don't end up in that situation given trucking is already a hard enough job as is, wouldn't want it getting worse because manufacturers refuse to fix annoyances as companies/drivers will buy them anyway due to a lack of better options.

I get the feeling they may drop sales in countries where they aren't sold very often, but they'll just push the harsher and harsher emissions onto the v8's until 2035 (though I think that's going to be pushed back) Even then, they'll still be making the engines for other markets like Australia (and Canada? Looks like they want to go there?), even then they're still used in Marine applications

[@vanontherun2843]

Now that the VAG group own Scania alongside MAN which they've owned for a long time, it's only a matter of time before they start to use common components. Similar to what happened when Volvo Truck bought Renault Trucks, but in that case the components from the premium Volvo trickled down to the less premium Renault, it might be the other way around for MAN/Scania. It's an obvious business choice for VAG management to standardise parts across both marques, economies of scale will reduce costs and boost profit. Scania produce their own transmissions where as MAN buy them in from ZF, I can see MAN's switching to Scania transmissions in the future to increase production numbers and reduce the unit cost, it will also reduce the numbers of ZF transmissions produced and potentially push up the cost for other marques that use that transmission (DAF + IVECO), so VAG would reduce costs while pushing costs up for some of their competition! They will standardise the engines and have one 13 litre range and one higher capacity range, question is will they choose to keep the V8 or use the larger MAN engine (D38?). They could probably use a lot of the same design if they make them all straight 6's, but I think they will keep the V8 as it's a special market and something that differentiates Scania from the rest, but then if they do choose to stick with the V8 maybe it will be available in a MAN too, or maybe they only sell MAN's with a max 13ltr engine and focus that brand on the fleet market. It's all about money and profit at the end of the day, the V8 will only survive if it makes business sense to keep it.

[@garywebster6453]

Latest man uses the scania 12 speed box, it just says man on the cover but identical. The v8 will probably end as the new 6 cylinder is pretty high powered now but at least 3 to 4 mpg better.
