Why Scania Made The V8 - And Kept It Through All These Years

[@SuperDriver379]

As an American, this is the most American thing I’ve seen that’s not in America.

[@yaboileeroy3038]

Funny that you say this. The 14.2 and 16.4 liter V8’s were originally co-developed with Mack, and Scania actually made the first 15,000 cylinder heads for the Thermodyne 11.0 liter I6’s while Mack made Scania’s V8 blocks while Scania worked with the cylinder heads. Mack and Scania were very buddy-buddy until Mack got bought out by Volvo.

It’s worth mentioning that more than 90% of all Scanias produced the last year got the 13 l inline 6. I6’s have better fuel consumption than V8’s. Even for Scania the V8 is a niche thing.

In Canada, I haul 42-43.5T (63.5 T GVW) with 505 hp 13 Lt. In-line 6, averaging much less fuel than bigger displacement/hp trucks losing only a few minutes per 100 km. What would the V8 700+ HP cost in fuel under same conditions?

[@Billhatestheinternet]

I never could understand why V8 engines disappeared from heavy duty trucks in the US, where the V8 is considered king. Detroit had a 12L 500HP engine, and the sound was glorious. I don't see why they couldn't have come up with new designs (the 53, 71 and 92 series were TWO stroke, so there was no way in hell it could comply with emissions), between CAT, Cummins, and Detroit using four stroke designs.

[@mele2904]

American trucks have the space for very large inline 6 engines which naturally produce torque more easily than a V type engine. The I6 is also easier to service, the dam things can be rebuilt while still in the frame of the truck. V8 engines suck to service in type engine bays. Scania did what was right for them and their space requirements. It's not the best compromise for all trucks everywhere.

[@MH-zk7hc]

@@mele2904 Why does an inline produce torque more easily than a v-type engine (all things being as equal as possible)? Geometry? Thanks!

[@mele2904]

@@MH-zk7hc The way fluid dynamics work, For a like for like total displacement fewer cylinders are going to be a bigger bore. That means more surface area on the piston surface which equals more pressure even if the compression is the same. You can look into hydraulics and pneumatics for some incite on the physics principles.

[@MH-zk7hc]

@@mele2904 Ah, got it. All being equal somehow didn't translate to displacement for me, hehe. I was thinking about the differences in an inline-6 and a V8-engine while having the same displacement per cylinder. Of course that would be 33% more overall, duh. Thanks.

[@rich7447]

@@MH-zk7hc It is easier to have a very long stoke in a L6 than a V8. More stroke means larger/longer crank journals and higher mechanical advantage (longer lever). A Scania 770 hp v8 has a bore and stroke of 130x154mm for 16.4L out of 8 cylinders, while the smaller Cummins X-15 has a bore and stroke of 137x169mm for 14.9L displacement in 6 cylinders. The longer crank journal works out to about a 10% torque advantage (169/154) at the same piston pressure. Then you add in the fact that you have fewer, but larger explosions per cycle which increases piston pressure when a particular cylinder does fire. You can offset this with a v8 by increasing compression ratio or boost and cramming in more fuel. The cost of this is that more stroke means less revs at the same piston speed, so lower redline and less horsepower (hp=torque x rpm/5252). This is why engines are either built for low end torque or high end power. If you try to spin a stroker too fast your piston speed gets too high and the engine tears itself apart.

V8 for.me always.....I'm 1 who would comprise just to have a v8 especially an R cab as they are available with a manual gearbox 💪💪💪

[@simono5114]

I'm more hype for Scanias new 6 cyl with dual over head cams, the V8 is something special though.

[@Gert-DK]

If I owned a truck company, I would take inline 6 anytime. V8 is too expensiveand expensive to repair.

Im waiting for the scania s 530 v8. In couple weeks i can step over from the s450. My boss ordered 30 of them

great video truck topia! the scania v8's are rlly fun to drive in ets2

[@TruckTropia]

Thanks :)

one day i heard one with an open pipe exhaust. Now i want one even if i'm not a truck driver.

The best truck engine in the world

[@joonaaskr]

Fun fact: the 770 Scania only has 770hp in the 2 highest gears, the rest of the gears have 730hp. Another fun fact: the Volvo 750 engine has 750hp across the entire gear range

[@kylebethel7299]

See why can't we have powerful engines like this here in the states

[@joakimjonsson1640]

We pull heavier loads here (Sweden) maybe that's why

God I wished American truck simulator had the Mack e9 V8 available

the annoying music makes it really hard to follow. Even if it wasn´t annoying, it´s too loud for backround music.

Don't worry, anything good, appreciated by customers and efficient for business will be killed by government agency dictates.

[@russellrattys6581]

i love v8's there so much better than inline engines, one of the things i like is, the pistons in a v8 are smaller than the equivalent inline 6, so should wear out less over time, as each cylinder doesnt have to cope with such high pressures or torques

[@TSi99999]

Incline 6 is naturally balanced. V8 many more parts to fail.

[@russellrattys6581]

@@TSi99999 the v8 is easier to balance than an inline 6, one piston goes up, one piston goes down, at the same time one piston is going left, another one piston is going right, its almost perfectly balanced Also, a lot of inline 6 engines are built with cylinder heads which only cover two cylinders, there's only one more of those heads in a v8, two more pistons There's just so much about a v8 that makes it better than a straight 6 To balance a straight 6 easier, it's better to lean it to one side by so many degrees, ask bmw, they do that to all their straight engines, so, if your going to lean a straight engine to one side, why not just stick another leaned engine at the side of it? There's only one compromise between a v8 and an inline 6, and thats a v12 😂

@@russellrattys6581 BMW likely does it for a lower slung engine hood.

[@russellrattys6581]

@@mele2904 i did think that, but, theres a documentary on youtube somewhere, where the designers tell us thats not the case, they say they do it to lessen vibration ☺️

[@rich7447]

L6s normally have much longer strokes than V8s which gives them a mechanical advantage for torque production. Cylinder pressures are similar in both since they tend to run about the same compression ratios. Yes there is more stress on connecting rods in an L6, but they are able to make then beefier since they only have the weight of 6 instead of 8. You will also see a lot more crank support in the way of main bearing area on an L6. As others have states, the L6 has natural primary and secondary balance. Their weakness is block twist.

[@Laszlo8282]

The Scania V8 engine sound is the best!

[@grzegorzambrozy7147]

you can make a video on 4 cylinder engines only from US manufacturers

[@thisisalam8874]

i love the video but the music is a bit loud

[@dirkvoskes2099]

I think in the seventies, unic trucks from italy also had a v8 engine... i think unic turned into iveco trucks...
